Located just 40 minutes drive from the Avenue des Baobabs on Morondava Beach on the west side of Madagascar, Palissandre Cote Ouest – named after the precious rosewood with which the hotel is built – is a wonderful beach getaway.
Overview
Palissandre Cote Ouest is made up of made up of 30 bungalows, each with a private terrace over-looking the beach, and a restaurant set in front of a well-kept garden, surrounded by coconut palms and providing guests with locally-caught, freshly-cooked seafood. Ideal for those in search of a relaxing barefoot beach holiday, it combines especially well with a safari exploring the remote, dry, baobab-scattered landscapes of western Madagascar.
