VOI AMARINA RESORT is a small and welcoming village located on the island of Nosy Be in Madagascar. Waiting for you you will find the smiles and helpfulness of the director Marco (whom I applaud) and his staff, young guys who organize daytime and evening activities who are present but not intrusive. Spacious and comfortable rooms furnished in style, superlative swimming pool, impeccable cleanliness in all areas, varied cuisine offering suitable for every type of need, freshly cooked pasta and grill for fish and meat for both lunch and dinner. Taste the flavored rum at the bar and enjoy the aperitifs in front of sunsets that you will certainly not forget. The lobster dinner is highly recommended for the raw material and the romantic location. Inside the village you will find boutique services, excursions, wi fi in common areas and a bookshop available to guests. The positive energy of this village will win you over and make you experience days of true relaxation in a paradise. Thank you all for helping make everything so perfect!

We were in Madagascar, from October 30 to November 13. We arrived at this property and were immediately welcomed in a joyful way, in fact there was a native group that sang and danced and immediately inserted us into the Malagasy environment. The whole structure is very beautiful, built with a style that is in tune with the landscape that surrounds it. Roofs made with palm leaves, wooden structures, all very nice and pleasant, typically African. The resort is not large, there are about sixty rooms, divided into separate houses, upstairs superior, downstairs standard rooms. We found so much cleanliness, and the rooms are really belle.I services at the bars are great, always friendly staff, and good drinks with even local alcohol. A note of merit to the cuisine, really remarkable, we ate both excellent Italian dishes, Malagasy dishes, also daily fresh fish, zero km. We had no health problem, as there is much care in the treatment of food, washed with amuchina. I ate and drank everything, and I was very well. However, pay attention to when participating in trips organized by the beach boys, therefore outside the structure. In this case the food that you will be offered will not give any guarantee, and many because of this have had intestinal problems.Condiglio in these cases to avoid consuming uncooked foods (fruit and vegetables) We have made several trips with Alpitour, and we always had a great time, no health problems.The excursions that we have proposed are undoubtedly to be recommended, both those of sea and land, you will discover how people live, uses, customs, and then there is the fauna and flora, which both by land and sea will leave you speechless. Returning to the resort I can say that all the staff are very kind and considerate. Marco, the director, is a wonderful person and is easygoing, he bends over backwards to ensure his guests the best, really great.The animation is composed of a small team, but all boys and girls that we will never forget. Simone, the manager is a true professional, he sings, dances, acts and much more, a great, really impressed me his preparation and skill. Then there's Jacopo, lovely and very nice, Cristina fitness worker (I drove her crazy) also very good, Sabrina... who did a lot of jokes, then the legendary Chiara, laughing unique in the world (Barba Chiara) a lovely girl, then the talented singers Flavia who was succeeded then Emmanuela. All of them made our holiday a dream, made us feel like we were long-term friends, even special. I wish them much success in their future. In short, in Madagadcar we left a piece of heart, and we left it to all of them, special people. Finally, I highly recommend staying at this beautiful resort, which guarantees quality, cleanliness, health and a lot of sympathy. You will find yourself as if you were in a large family, which will give you a dream holiday.

Our experience here was unforgettable, so I can only recommend everyone to choose this property to anyone. We spent our holiday here in mid-September, arrived we immediately had a beautiful welcome with a welcome glass and a group of guys playing and dancers at the reception, we were brought our suitcases to the room and guided by the girl of Alpitour we walked for the first time the beautiful (although a little 'long but on vacation is a negligible detail given the view you can enjoy) avenue all facing the sea that led us to our room. I would like to make a small note even if I did not create any discomfort, indeed welcome, but the Wifi works only pool area restaurant and the rooms are very distant, fortunately we had added the prestige plus package with which we could take advantage of a super comfortable canopy with pillow mattress a stone's throw from the bar and from which we enjoyed unforgettable sunsets while sipping a nice drink.A nice large spacious room without so many frills but with attention to detail, mosquito nets in the bathrooms, always clean rooms. The view directly on the beach where we find the sunbeds with the room number. Good organization. The food is the big surprise! Excellent quality and for this I must offer my sincerest congratulations to the director Marco, really attentive to everything! And with the predominantly Italian clientele he made the right choice, with the all inclusive and the food so good it was difficult not to return to Italy with a few extra kilos. Even the activities organized by the boys of the alpiclub I liked a lot, Simone has a great energy really very good at entertaining and entertaining, also Jacopo very good at creating group among the people of the village with activities together with the girls: Sabrina Kristina and Chiara, have allowed us to meet many people and has created a really family and group atmosphere with many younger people and less because then on vacation a little 'everyone lets go and they are good at involving! We found ourselves after two days at dinner with other couples, hiking together still today we feel .. in short Beautiful! All the boys: from the waiters to the gardeners to the security (always present at all hours) all really nice and especially with a smile always ready. For the excursions, the fundamental part of this trip, we relied on a really golden boy that you find on the beach, FRIDO BE a guy who will really win you over for his energy availability and for the many knowledge about the place and the history, and because he understands and speaks very good Italian. Thanks Frido, if this holiday was unforgettable it is also thanks to you, thanks for the anecdotes you told us and for the good food the beers and laughter you gave us in that week. Outside the resort, in the Malagasy village a few meters away you will find the shop of his sister Fariba full of souvenirs also to bring a few thoughts in Italy at the last minute super cheap but you have to bargain as always in these countries is almost a rule!

Great food, smart and courteous staff, never intrusive entertainment Structure that overlooks the sea, spacious room with large bathroom but a bit 'old-fashioned A note of credit to the director and the Alpitour assistant who solved a problem for the return journey Perfect organization of the diving center that made us experience great emotions during the outings for whales and turtles The limited number of rooms and therefore guests allows absolute relaxation and a feeling of tranquility away from the chaos of the city

We chose Madagascar and the Seaclub Amarina for our honeymoon and we couldn't have made a better choice. Amarina is the right place if you want to combine an excellent dose of relaxation with the desire to discover a unique place in the world. The privacy and exclusivity of this resort are unparalleled and are certainly very rare qualities to currently find in a village and must be preserved. All rooms have a direct view of the private beach and allow you to enjoy a breathtaking 360-degree panorama from dawn to dusk. The Francorosso excursions were all organized down to the smallest detail and our guides (Floris, for the sea excursions and Mario for the land ones) were always very helpful and very good at telling us about their land. A further strong point is the diving, led by Elena, which offers unmissable experiences, such as swimming with giant turtles or spotting whales up close. Furthermore, all excursions depart conveniently from within the village. As for the staff, we immediately received an exceptional welcome both from all the Francorosso staff and from the rest of the resort staff and throughout the holiday they made us feel part of a big family, which we will remember forever. In particular, we will carry Alessia in our hearts, for the great professionalism with which she carries out her work and her profound kindness (personally, I will remember every sunset yoga done in her company); Alex, for his resourcefulness, contagious laugh and his ability to involve everyone in his activities; Gaia, the resort's biologist, who in every excursion was able to convey to us with her words her passion for her work and her love for this place and the people who populate it; and finally Giada, for her irrepressible charisma and her voice, which is the perfect fit in every sunset of this magical place. Equal compliments also go to all the kitchen, dining and bar staff and to the cleaning staff, in particular Julie, who took care of our room impeccably. We will take this place and all the people who are part of it with us; They are the ones who make everything even more special. We recommend everyone to live every day here to the fullest, to immerse themselves in every excursion, to visit the villages to discover the kindness of the people who live there, to stop and see every sunset, which offers different shades of color every day. Only in this way can we realize what a magnificent place it is. Thanks for everything Amarina, thanks for everything guys and thanks for everything Madagascar.

I spent two weeks in this magnificent resort. The structure is small and welcoming in Malagasy style, with around 50/60 rooms for around a maximum of 140 guests, with a dedicated beach with access reserved only for resort guests. The structure is organized in "villas", with the particularity of being all facing the sea. So all the rooms have a view of the beautiful sea of Nosy Be. A row of trees along the beach allows you to enjoy the shade, instead of the presence of umbrellas, giving the resort a much more natural appearance. Another gem: each room has dedicated deckchairs marked by the room number. This allows you, especially in high season, not to have to "grab" some sunbeds at dawn. The restaurant offers a wide choice of meat, fish and vegetables. Excellent quality. I have celiac disease and for breakfast they also offer gluten-free cereals and bread, as well as for lunch and dinner they can prepare gluten-free pasta. Furthermore, if you ask Omar, the boy who serves pasta in the room, he will prepare delicious gluten-free desserts for you, even every day. All the resort staff are delightful, helpful and very professional. All this is also due to the management skill of the resort director, the very Italian Marco Giancristoforo, a very kind and super helpful person. Congratulations also to the Alpitour staff with the wonderful Elisa. For the excursions I turned to the beach boys, contacting them from Italy before leaving. In particular I turned to Eric Hubert, with the Mora Mora agency: +261 32 43 812 03; Steven Sardou: +261 32 90 214 75 and Frido Be: +261 34 03 999 33. Contact them on Whatsapp and have the brochures sent to you. I particularly recommend, in addition to Nosy Iranja and Antsoha, going to the Mitsio archipelago (ask Steven), a true paradise on earth. Euros are easily used throughout the island, while they don't want dollars (more unfavorable for them at the exchange rate). Also start with pieces of 50 euros which they will gladly exchange for smaller coins or denominations, because with denominations of €50 and above the exchange rate in the local currency is more favorable for them. Outside the resort you will find a typical village full of small shops for shopping. If you want, there is also the possibility of buying rice from them (I bought a 60 kg bag) which is then distributed among families, especially with children. For these, if you go to Fatima's little shop you can buy biscuits to distribute to them, they will be very happy!!

Arriving from the airport they have us with a Malagasy group of musicians and dancers and by the resort staff we immediately felt at home... Large and spotless rooms, buffet restaurant with great food with a wide choice. The local staff super nice and always smiling. The friendly and very engaging Alpiclub staff! The tours organized to visit Nosy are super recommended and always guided by local guides who speak great Italian and immerse you in this beautiful Malagasy culture and nature.

We stayed at this resort for our honeymoon.The structure overall is not very large so it is very cozy and welcoming and you move easily in interno.Camera large, comfortable and spacious with sea view from postcard.Pulizia I would say excellent considered posto.Personale kind and always disponibile.Spiaggia with sunbeds but without umbrellas because the presence of trees guarantees shade for tutti.Mare clean even if sometimes the mangrove is on the shore (dedicated staff carefully removes it).Bottom clean but do not expect the Red Sea (on some excursions outside the resort however you can see starfish, turtles and a good variety of fish).Excellent cuisine with Italian management: buffet food and drinks served directly at the table.The water is filtered so you can brush your teeth without problema.Il resort is the ideal place for those looking for a quiet dream holiday without giving up the presence of entertainment that is able to guarantee activities for everyone and for all tastes, without ever being intrusive and respecting those who instead just want relaxation and rest.Point also ideal for numerous land and sea excursions that we decided to do with the structure and then the alpiclub team (tours, snorkelling, gip tour to nosybe, nosyiranja and lemurs).Excursions cost money but are well organized. We gave up the "beach boys" of which we had heard so much: remember that in Madagascar there is no coastguard and that a tour operator is certainly more reliable and safe. Our honeymoon was enlivened by the emotions of the place with its enchanting nature and by the people (including locals) incontro.Uno special thanks goes to the sparkling butcher and animator Simone always ready to tear you a smile and to the sweet photographer Alice who with patience and dedication followed the realization of a photo shoot that I have always wanted to have! Good luck guys for your future! Our stay was really great in this heavenly place: we will certainly always carry the memory of this trip in our hearts ❤️.Thank you all and good work! Un abbraccio! Annamaria and Raniero

We stayed at this resort from October 31st to November 7th. As soon as we arrived in Nosy Be, the hotel staff came to welcome us at the airport, taking us directly to the resort, where a Malagasy group was waiting to welcome us. Our room looked directly onto the beach and at night you could hear the sound of the sea waves! The room was very spacious and clean! The structure is very well looked after, you can see the attention and care for every detail! The meals were always plentiful and fresh! There were both Italian and Malagasy dishes. The chef ensures that everything is always perfect, often entertaining us with show cooking moments! We went on several excursions with the hotel staff. I suffer from seasickness and am terrified of the sea, the excursion guys took care of me and helped me in moments of panic! I recommend going on excursions with them, they are really very attentive to everything! It was a super holiday, I thank the director and all the staff of the facility for welcoming us and making us feel at home!

I stayed a week with my husband and my 9-year-old daughter. I left Italy with so many fears that disappeared as soon as I set foot at the resort! Upon arrival at the airport we were greeted by Elisa with a warm smile .. a smile that everyone and I say everyone gave you every time they saw us every single day 🙏.
Starting from the resort , wonderful ; large spaces kept neat and clean , comfortable rooms (Wi-Fi is not present but better this way ) . Our maid was Angela, our room was always perfect, tidy and above all clean! Thank you 🙏 .
The restaurant .. a discovery. Arriving in Africa and having such a special attention to food is priceless. Inside the resort there are water purifiers, the water you need is always bottles and with this anything prepared. The Executive Chef Rocco always among us during meals is ready to satisfy your every need! The food is really great guys made us feel like HOME! Congratulations to all the kitchen staff! Very good! The waiting staff is no less , always ready to free your empty plate from the table, always with a smile that is beautiful! Reception point also here what to say .. perfect! In the lobby there is a boutique with typical Malagasy clothes, products and customs .. a warm greeting to Valeria! Excursions, super recommended! Organize in the best detail .. a journey to discover nature and its beauty. Special thanks to Flo and our photographer ready to capture every special moment!
Then we move on to them .. the animation! They ❤️.. kept us company every single day starting from muscle reawakening , aqua gym , darts competition , beach volleyball , soccer and all this with the freedom to participate or not! Beautiful and fun evening shows!
You will find Chiara with her overwhelming laughter, Matteo with infinite sweetness, Manu with a beautiful voice, Sabrina from the mini club talented, Bianca had a great time! Jacopo super sunny and overwhelming and then there's him, Simone, who drove us crazy with the always ready joke and his unique ways!
