About the Resort
Forest-to-reef on Lemur Island
Tsara Komba is barefoot eco-luxury with genuine credentials: just eight villas on the forested slopes of Nosy Komba, and a member of National Geographic's Unique Lodges of the World. Black lemurs and chameleons live on the island, the snorkelling and diving reach into the Nosy Tanikely reserve and Lokobe National Park, and the kitchen draws on the sea and an organic garden. Run by Time + Tide, the same operator as Miavana, it adds Madagascar's wildlife dimension to a stay.

“I had stayed at Four Seasons, One&Only and Velaa before visiting Time + Tide Tsara Komba. They are all magnificent. But this is different in a way that is hard to articulate.”
