As an island surrounded by the Mozambique Channel and the Indian Ocean, Madagascar is an exceptional seaside destination. With its year-round mild climate, it’s a delight for travellers who want to get away from it all and rediscover the pleasure of lounging on the beach. Kilometers of white sand stretching along a turquoise sea await visitors. Bathing, sunbathing, water sports, watching the comings and goings of the outrigger canoes and meeting the locals – all you have to do is let yourself be lulled by the gentle peace of life along Madagascar’s coastline.
