This March, we’ll be launching a unique castaway experience on the beautifully remote Madagascan island of Tsarabanjina.

At Constance Hotels we are carrying out a multi-million pound revamp to add a splash of luxury to the Crusoe-chic that is Constance Tsarabanjina.

With The Sunday Times listing Tsarabanjina in its 100 greatest holidays on the planet, this is the year to discover for yourself what makes the resort so stunning.

Luxury all-inclusive package

When we re-open Tsarabanjina in March, guests will be able to enjoy all the treats the resort has to offer under one luxury package. So from the moment you arrive, you can relax knowing that all your needs will be catered for.

Laid-back elegance

Careful to maintain the barefoot charm and eco-friendliness that guests have always loved about Tsarabanjina, we have revamped our beautiful beach huts with the added luxury of air conditioning.

Embracing Malagasy culture we’ve updated the interiors using natural materials, and local art and sculpture based on marine life to add a boutique feel to the beachfront accommodation.

Guest can chill out in relaxed luxury on the bungalow’s enlarged terrace complete with elegantly comfortable furniture for hanging out with loved-ones or friends.

Laid back beach vibe

Lie back and enjoy this indulgent beach experience with our new massage rooms complete with ocean views, and an outdoor shower carved into the island rock for a genuine outdoor experience.

In the main building we’re also remodelling the reception and restaurant blending the Malagasy culture and art with a dash of Constance luxury.

How do I get there?

To top it all off we’ve made the inaccessible more accessible – the new helipad means you can choose to transfer from the mainland with minimal effort, or take the boat from Nosy Be.

  • At Moofushi we take seclusion and privacy one step further by offering you and your partner the opportunity to dine together at a table for two under the stars on your very own sandbank.

And so to bed…

Whichever accommodation you choose, you’ll find yourself seduced by elegant luxury and romance. Escape to one of our water villas floating above the tranquil waters of a lagoon at Moofushi, Halaveli and Le Prince Maurice, or head to the seclusion of the hillside villas at Ephélia or the peaceful rosewood bunglows at Tsarabanjina.

All rooms, suites and villas have a private outdoor area specially designed for late night star-gazing with the one you love. We’ll even add to the romance by drawing you a candlelit bath with scented oils and flower petals.

If you’re in need of some warm sunshine right now, there’s no place better to head to than the Indian Ocean.

Here are our top 5 reasons why you should pack your bag and escape to one of our unique resorts or super deluxe hotels.

1. Beaches, beaches, beaches

Imagine the softest white sand between your toes, and the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean stretching as far as the eye can see. Your holiday playground is set on some of the most beautiful beaches in the world – from Anse Georgette, the private beach at our Seychelles’ Lemuria Resort, to the soft sands of Moofushi.

2. Luxury

It’s hard to resist the idea of a little luxury at this time of year, and Constance hotels offer this in spades. Wonderfully designed rooms, delicious food, stunning locations and an attention to detail means you can expect to find everything you could want in just the right measure.

3.  Sunshine

While it’s freezing cold in the Northern hemisphere, it’s hot and sunny across the Indian Ocean. Immerse yourself in the warmth of the sunshine, and give your body the boost of Vitamin D it needs to restore that delicious sense of well being.

The Constance culinary spirit is central to the luxury experience you’ll find at our resorts.

Having garnered a loyal following among celebrities, sports teams and those looking for treatments that really deliver, Brice’s treatments are now available at Le Prince Maurice.

Here are Brice’s top 3 tips for 2013:

1. Health

Take good care of your feet all year long and not only summertime when you show them. Having a medical pedicure at least 3 times a year will help you treat painful or esthetical issues. It’s the ideal way to get beautiful and healthy feet all year long, and also to prevent and anticipate issues.

2. Beauty

In our treatment room, we offer you a huge range of nail polishes and long lasting nail polishes. In order to optimise the durability of your nail polish and prevent you from nail damage, it is important you also come and visit us for nail polishing treatment in 3 steps.

3. Well being

Massage your hands and feet every night before going to sleep with a nourishing balm for at least 15 minutes. A long massage will help the cream to penetrate and provide your skin with all its benefits.
