Le Laugaut's Bungalows

Tucked into Nosy Be's Djamandjary stretch, minutes from the Indian Ocean vibe and about 6.3 km from Madirokely Beach. Nearby draws include Mont Passot and Lokobe National Park, with Fascene (Nosy-Be) Airport roughly 25 km away.

A small villa made up of three individually decorated bungalows. Rooms come with kitchenettes or kitchens (fridge, stovetop or microwave), private patios, 42-inch TVs, safes, separate sitting areas, air conditioning and daily housekeeping. Expect a relaxed, beachfront-meets-local-artwork vibe.

Seasonal outdoor pool and an outdoor tennis court sit on the grounds. Sip at the poolside bar or unwind in the bar/lounge after a day exploring. There's a barbecue area, concierge and a tour desk to book local excursions—wake up to sea-breeze mornings and easy island days.

Wireless internet is available on-site. Practical touches include luggage storage, laundry facilities, a safe-deposit box, free self parking and a roundtrip airport shuttle (available 24 hours for a surcharge).

Start with a complimentary continental breakfast served daily from 7:30–9:30. 24-hour room service keeps things flexible, and the bar and poolside drinks set the scene for relaxed evenings.
