Unplug in Madagascar

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Constantly looking down at your phone, refreshing social media feeds? Rushing to open your emails every time you hear that notification ping? Finding yourself looking at multiple screens at the same time, without really paying attention to any of them? Maybe it’s time to unplug for a while…

Taking a break for a digital detox isn’t about ditching your smart phone forever or deleting your social media accounts – it’s simply about taking some time out to rediscover balance, enjoy different activities, reduce stress and feel happier!

A holiday is always an opportunity to take some time out from your busy day-to-day life, but why not take it a step further and truly unplug? Madagascar is the perfect destination…

1. A secluded spot

Perhaps the easiest way to step back from tech obsession is simply to escape somewhere far, far away.

It doesn’t get more secluded than this!

Set on a tiny island off the northern tip of Madagascar, Constance Tsarabanjina is a world away from the hustle and bustle of city life you may be used to. In fact, it was recognised at the Indian Ocean’s Leading Private Island Resort by the World Travel Awards!

Discover an island paradise

The beauty of your surroundings will certainly be enough to encourage true relaxation.

2. Barefoot luxury

Have you ever heard of earthing or grounding? It’s the idea that our bodies benefit from direct contact with the earth and that we should make time to connect with it by removing our shoes and getting outdoors. Kick off your shoes (literally!) and enjoy the laid-back atmosphere of our intimate island retreat at Constance Tsarabanjina Madagascar.

You’ll enjoy a private eco-friendly palm-thatched bungalow set right on the beach, with incredible views out across the sparkling ocean.

Can you imagine yourself here, cocktail in hand?

Indulge in delicious Malagasy-influenced dishes and cocktails in our sand-floored restaurant and bar, where bare feet are welcome, accompanied with an ocean breeze and stunning views. Your day job really will seem a world away!

3. Natural wonders

It’s easy to get overly obsessed with the digital world, so it’s important to take some time out to experience and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us.

What will you see?

Plunge into warm waters teeming with exotic sea life; wander along the iconic Avenue of the Baobabs; discover fascinating rock formations like the Organ Pipes at Nosy Mitsio and experience Madagascar’s extraordinary biodiversity.

Behold the Avenue of the Baobabs!

Take the opportunity to be wowed by nature – it doesn’t happen all too often in daily life!

4. Expand your horizons

Travelling to a new and far-flung place can give you a valuable opportunity to dip your toes into a culture very different from your own.

Homemade ginger and cinnamon rum is on the menu!

Foodies will relish the chance to dig into intriguing local culinary delights, which may even be accompanied by some folk dance and music.

Immersing yourself in another culture can really help you see your life from a different perspective and truly understand what brings you happiness and fulfilment.
