Voaara makes CNT Hot List & T+L IT List 2025!

We're so proud to see that our incredible client in Madagascar, Voaara, has been included in the 2025 Condé Nast Traveller Hot List and the 2025 Travel + Leisure IT List!

Recently open in January, Voaara is a barefoot luxury resort, located on the island of Sainte-Marie, off the northeast coast of Madagascar. With just eight elegant bungalows and a stunning three-bedroom villa, the resort blends wabi sabi inspired design with five-star comfort, using local materials and reclaimed wood. Founded by PK’s List creator Philippe Kjellgren, Voaara offers refined dining experiences—including the panoramic Bird’s Nest—and activities from beachfront spa treatments to outdoor cinema and water sports. Authentic yet elevated, it’s a rare and exciting new Indian Ocean destination, ideal for pairing with adventures in nearby Reunion Island, Kenya, or Madagascar’s lush interior.

The lists are both curated by editors who have spent the last 12 months exploring the globe to uncover the best new places to stay.

Voaara is featured in Conde Nast Traveller's The Best New Hotels in the World and The Best New Hotels in the Middle East & Africa.

It was featured in Travel + Leisure's The 100 Best New Hotels of the Year.

Congratulations!
