Resort in Nosy Boraha, Sainte Marie

Nestled in an exceptional natural setting between tropical vegetation and the waters of the Indian Ocean, Riake Resort & Villa is a peaceful retreat located on Sainte Marie Island, Madagascar. More than simply a place to stay, Riake is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with nature and discover the authentic rhythm of island life. Inspired by local architecture and harmoniously integrated into its natural surroundings, our bungalows and villa offer a simple, comfortable and authentic experience. Natural materials, local craftsmanship and the warm atmosphere of the property come together to create a stay that remains closely connected to the spirit of Sainte Marie. Each accommodation has been designed to offer comfort, privacy and tranquillity, in a setting where nature and the unique environment of the island remain at the heart of the experience. A Cuisine Inspired by Sainte Marie At Riake, dining is an essential part of the experience. Our cuisine focuses on fresh, locally sourced ingredients, selected whenever possible from nearby villages and local fishermen. Malagasy flavours are combined with French and Italian influences to create simple, generous and flavourful dishes. The ingredients available each day inspire our cuisine. Our menu may therefore evolve according to seasonal products, daily arrivals and the fresh produce available locally. Guests can enjoy their meals in our restaurant area, in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere at the heart of Riake. The Apéritif Lounge – A Place to Share At Riake, some of the most memorable moments of a stay are not always planned. Our apéritif lounge is a space created for people to come together, slow down and share moments. It is a place where conversations begin naturally, where travellers can exchange their experiences of Sainte Marie and where unexpected encounters can become part of the journey. Before dinner or simply throughout the day, this space becomes a true place of life and conviviality. Guests come together to share a moment, talk about their discoveries, tell stories from their day or simply enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of Riake. Beyond the landscapes and the comfort of our accommodations, we believe that it is also the encounters, conversations and spontaneous moments that give a stay its true soul. Discover Sainte Marie Differently Riake Resort & Villa is an ideal starting point for discovering the landscapes, nature and unique atmosphere of Sainte Marie Island. Whether you are looking for relaxation, discovery or adventure, there are many experiences to enjoy. Hiking, snorkelling, excursions and island discoveries can be arranged with the assistance of our team. During whale season, generally from June to the end of September, Sainte Marie also offers the opportunity to observe magnificent humpback whales in their natural environment. A Place to Slow Down At Riake, we believe that the most beautiful memories are often created through the simplest moments. Enjoying a peaceful breakfast. Sharing a meal prepared with fresh ingredients. Meeting in our apéritif lounge. Talking with other travellers. Discovering new stories and enjoying the slower rhythm of island life. It is this simplicity, this sense of togetherness and these moments of sharing that give Riake its soul. Riake Resort & Villa is more than simply a place to stay. It is an authentic and welcoming place where nature, human connections and shared experiences become an essential part of discovering Sainte Marie. Riake was created with a simple purpose: to offer a different way of travelling — away from mass tourism, in a peaceful natural environment where guests can slow down, enjoy their surroundings and experience Sainte Marie in complete tranquillity.

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The best service on the island — where your wishes truly come true. This hotel has everything for comfort and safety. The organization is so well thought out that you can simply relax and enjoy your vacation. An exceptional, pristine stretch of beach — incredibly long and untouched in places. Stunning sunsets and sunrises over breakfast right by the sea. The buggy tour to the natural ocean pool we booked left an unforgettable aftertaste! Sea urchins and other ocean delicacies — absolutely delightful! Thank you! 🌺 The only suggestion — improve a few details in the kitchen. I’ll be happy to return again!
Summary: The best service on the island
