A TASTE OF TRUE BAREFOOT LUXURY
Perched above a sandy beach between rich forest and the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, this secluded property offers travellers a taste of true barefoot luxury.
Isolated from the rest of the world on the remote Madagascan island of Nosy Komba, Tsara Komba is the perfect place for a honeymoon or luxury getaway. You’ll find eight individually decorated thatched lodges assembled on a hillside full of tropical flowers. Each has four-poster beds, spacious bathrooms, private terraces and large openings that let in plenty of sunshine and natural light. Granite pathways lead down to an expansive beach where you can stroll along golden sands or stretch out on a sun lounger.
Those who want to make the most of the exquisite surroundings will find themselves well catered for. Accompanied by knowledgeable guides, you can enjoy fishing, island-hopping and hiking through the verdant forest in search of lemurs, chameleons and rare birds. You can even learn how to sail a traditional pirogue. The island itself is a paradise for snorkelers and scuba divers, surrounded by warm, clear waters that teem with an abundance of multi-coloured fish.

Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
