Isalo Rock Lodge, Madagascar

The spacious rooms and suites feature a wealth of amenities and stylish furnishings as well as private balconies boasting fine views of the surrounding landscape.

Isalo Rock Lodge features some fantastic facilities including a lovely pool, a pool bar and top-class restaurant, serving a mixture of European and local Malagasy accompanied by incredible views of the Sandstone Mountains and forests below.

The region itself is a wildlife-lovers paradise and one of the best places on the island to see Ring-Tailed Lemurs and Giant Chameleons amongst others. Guided walking tours, jeep safaris and horseback adventures are just some of the ways to explore the national park and its unique ecosystems.

We like: The restaurants and rooms allow incredible views of the surrounding landscape.

Best for: A fantastic base to explore one of Madagascar's great eco-tourism hotspots.
