The Masoala Peninsula holds Madagascar’s largest remaining tract of lowland rainforest and is a haven of biodiversity and endemism. Accessible only by boat, our Masoala Forest Lodge is a perfect castaway retreat lovingly built over two decades by modern day adventurers Pierre and Maria Bester. Its seven tented rooms are raised into the tree canopy on timber decks and peep through the lush greenery directly onto the golden beach.

The gentle wash of the ocean on the sheltered beach lulls you to sleep at night, and one day blends into the next here as you reconnect with nature and marvel at the evolutionary miracle that is Madagascar while forgetting that you ever wore shoes.

Reaching the Masoala Peninsula you’ll be hard pressed to see the camp from the sea so hidden is it in the coastal forest. Just the way we like it.
