Experience a luxurious barefoot paradise of the unforgettable kind: the dreamlike Voaara stretches across 40 hectares of pristine beach and jungle on the Madagascan island of Sainte-Marie and offers breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean. Seven exclusive bungalows and an elegant pool villa, all with private terraces and panoramic views of spectacular sunsets, promise unparalleled privacy and elegance. Discover unspoiled nature, exceptional cuisine, and unique wildlife while experiencing a world of relaxation and adventure at Voaara.
Between June and September, observe the elegant humpback whales giving birth to their young in the calm waters of Sainte-Maries, or immerse yourself in the fascinating underwater world while snorkeling on the house reef – always accompanied by the expertise of an experienced marine biologist. For active hours, try stand-up paddleboarding in crystal-clear lagoons, mountain biking through unspoiled nature, and yoga amidst tropical backdrops. Children experience unforgettable moments on the paradise beach, while adults pamper themselves with massages using regional Anoka oils. From stargazing to open-air movie nights, Voaara offers a harmonious blend of adventure, fun, culture, and pure serenity.
The resort consists of just seven bungalows and an impressive three-bedroom villa, all offering direct views of the turquoise sea, framed by gently swaying palm trees. With thatched roofs, driftwood beams, and locally crafted furniture, the rooms create a harmonious blend of understated sophistication and barefoot luxury. Spacious indoor and outdoor bathrooms invite moments of pure relaxation, while large-format photographs by Pierrot Men bring Madagascar's fascinating diversity to life. The unrivaled highlight is the open-plan villa, whose living space flows seamlessly into a terrace with a pool—a place where the sound of the waves and birdsong transform every morning into pure bliss.
At La Plage by Sarrion, head chef Aleixandre Sarrion and his team create culinary masterpieces such as freshly caught giant trevall with Madagascan XO sauce or delicious mojo verde made from home-grown ingredients – served in a dreamlike beach setting. At Le Grill, sustainably grilled seafood and zebu steaks unfold their incomparable smoky flavor, while Franco's Bar tempts guests with light snacks and a legendary piña colada. Private dining experiences in the high-altitude Bird's Nest or with pizza on the beach make every moment unforgettable. Voaara combines exquisite cuisine with the magic of nature – a feast for the palate and the soul.
Amidst the untamed beauty of Sainte-Maries, an island that lies off the east coast of Madagascar like a forgotten paradise, the exclusive Voaara invites you to enter another world. Here, lush rainforest, endless sandy beaches, and the shimmering blue of the Indian Ocean meet a deep connection to Malagasy culture. The name "Voaara" reflects this harmony: it combines the meanings of "sacred" and "fruit of nature" and embodies the spirit of this place, which was blessed by locals before construction began. The resort's 40 hectares are a living mosaic of beach, jungle, and a sacred lake that infuses the landscape with quiet magic. Voaara is no ordinary resort—it is an experience carefully designed to immerse its guests in the natural and cultural diversity of Madagascar. The buildings are arranged to resemble a traditional Malagasy village, inspired by the architectural elegance of the Rova style. With roofs made of palm leaves and wooden elements crafted by local artisans, the resort feels like part of the landscape – authentic, charming, and luxurious at the same time.
