Thermal Hotel, Ranomafana, Madagascar
Home Hotels Thermal Hotel

Thermal Hotel

Contact us

The Thermal Hotel is the newest lodge in Ranomafana, having been completely refurbished. It benefits from its location in the centre of town – perfect for those who like to explore.

The 21 rooms are split into three large blocks, and whilst the size of the buildings makes the interiors seem a little empty, the rooms are very clean and comfortable, with pine panels lending the place a decidedly wood-cabin feel.

The restaurant is excellent and many people come here from outside the hotel to eat. What it lacks in atmosphere, it more than makes up for in service, food and efficiency.

Location

Where to stay

Some of the wonderful places to stay that we frequently recommended.

Setam Lodge £££££

  • Madagascar
  • Safari and Wildlife Lodge

Setam Lodge is at the entrance of Ranomafana National Park and makes the most of its location, with each of the spotless, but simple chalets, taking advantage of the fantastic views over the forested river valley over which it looks. Given the lodge’s fairly remote location, the food is surprisingly good and the restaurant is large enough to create a great atmosphere but small enough so that you quickly befriend the brilliant staff. Walks from the lodge into the park offer a chance to spot rare lemur species, including the golden bamboo lemur. The great setting and lovely views make this one of the best options in the region.

  • Madagascar
  • Safari and Wildlife Lodge

Like most lodges in Ranomafana, simplicity rules and the small number of rooms here are hidden amongst the lodges beautiful verdant gardens, with the more recent rooms built up on the hill making the most of the location, on the edge of the park itself. The rooms are cooled by fans and mosquito nets keep you safe. The restaurant serves surprisingly good local Malagasy food and a handful of European dishes if you’ve had enough of rice. This place can’t be beaten for location, and its the closest to the village, meaning you can head out and explore the area at leisure.
