About the Resort
A castaway island under the Constance name
Tsarabanjina is the Indian Ocean at its most elemental: 25 beachfront villas on a sacred 34-hectare island in the Mitsio Archipelago, north-west of Nosy Be, all-inclusive and barefoot, with two beaches and a sand-floor bar set out over the ocean. The villas are simple and air-conditioned, with no private pools by design — the sea is the pool here, and the castaway seclusion is the point. The diving and snorkelling are the draw, on the reefs of the Mitsio islands, the seafood comes fresh off the boats, and you can catch your own dinner; the open-air spa sits among the red rocks. It carries the Constance name with the feel of a desert island, on an all-inclusive Cristal package that covers meals, drinks and many activities. Reached by a flight to Nosy Be and a 60- to 90-minute boat, with a helicopter alternative, it suits couples and honeymooners who want seclusion over polish.
