A beautiful little hotel with lovely rooms. Very clean and wonderfully hospitable owners. We had a wonderful time relaxing there after 2.5 days of traveling through Madagascar. It was the only place where I could eat a salad without any worries. The food is delicious and has local and European influences, combined with delicious dips and sauces.

My mom and I were very tired from our hike and managed to find this wonderful place. The owner was super friendly and nice, letting us stay as long as we needed to recover on the beautiful beach. We thank her and highly recommend this place.

Komba Cabana won our hearts from the moment we arrived, and we felt very comfortable and welcome throughout our stay. The bungalow is stylishly furnished, very clean, and decorated daily with fresh flowers. All the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. There’s a generous breakfast buffet with fresh crepes every day. In the evenings, you can choose between two menus, and the portions are plentiful. The owners were always open to questions and genuinely interested. We hope to return someday.

Our bungalow was simply paradise – surrounded by tropical greenery, overlooking the ocean… honestly, the most beautiful place I’ve ever stayed in! The entire garden is like a dream – full of blooming flowers, lush plants, and peaceful paths. Everything is so beautifully designed and thoughtfully arranged – you can feel how much heart has been put into this place. The owners are incredibly friendly and welcoming – we felt at home from the very first moment. The food? Absolutely delicious – fresh, flavorful, and made with love. If you’re dreaming of peace, nature, and a magical atmosphere – this is the place. Highly recommended for a truly unforgettable stay! 🌺🐚

We spent a wonderful week at this beautiful new small hotel, nestled like a botanical garden between the ocean and the forest. It’s lovingly built and run by a fantastic family, and from the very first moment you feel completely at home in this vibrant natural paradise. On Nosy Komba there are no cars or tuc-tuc, just peace and quiet. The bungalows are spotlessly clean, with a modern design that blends local materials and thoughtful details. The food is fresh, local, and absolutely delicious, and the service couldn’t be better. A heartfelt thank you to Spela, her husband Borut, and their daughter for their warmth, availability, and wonderful recommendations. Their dedication and passion for bringing their dream to life shines through in every detail.

From the moment we connected with Komba Cabana, our stay felt exceptionally special. Urska’s immediate and thoughtful email responses ensured all our needs were anticipated even before our arrival. Despite our very late hour, a warm welcome team was there to greet us as we stepped into this truly magical place. Our delicious first dinner was followed by a wonderful chat, setting the perfect tone for planning our adventures.
We stayed in a sea-view bungalow, a serene haven that was immaculately clean and beautifully appointed. Our spacious private terrace, embraced by swaying palm trees, offered wonderful privacy. Inside, the comfortable four-poster bed was a nightly delight, and we loved the thoughtful touch of fresh, beautifully designed sheets in different colors each day. The entire resort feels like a meticulously curated botanical garden – wherever you look, vibrant flowers burst forth, creating a constant connection to nature.
What truly elevates Komba Cabana is the personal touch of its owners. Spela’s genuine warmth ensured our every wish was fulfilled, and our daily chats over the presentation of a new, delicious menu were a highlight. Borut’s expertly organized excursions were seamless and exceptional. Our guides were fantastic, consistently punctual (a rare and appreciated quality!), and fluent in both English and French. Julian, our jungle hiking guide, enriched our trek with fascinating insights into local flora and fauna. Theo led us to incredible fishing spots, where my husband achieved his lifelong dream by catching a massive 91kg black marlin and a sailfish! Laurent’s two dives were among the best we’ve ever experienced, revealing an astonishing array of marine life. After all these thrilling adventures, a relaxing massage was the perfect indulgence.
Throughout our stay, the entire Komba Cabana team radiated genuine sweetness and welcome, always greeting us with smiles and politeness. Leaving this fantastic place was genuinely difficult. Everything, from the personalized service to the stunning natural surroundings and thrilling activities, was simply perfect. We are already counting the days until our return!
For couples seeking a truly personalized retreat, or anyone yearning for a relaxing escape where you can be spoiled with exquisite food, a peaceful atmosphere, and authentic connection to nature, we wholeheartedly recommend Komba Cabana.

I have been to many places around the world, but this was my best vacation ever.
– exceptional location
– exceptional food
– extremely friendly approach and attitude of the owners
– I highly recommend it to anyone who loves peace and unspoiled nature.
– for anyone who wants excursions and adventures, there are countless small islands in the area where you can explore the unspoiled nature and local customs.
– the owners will help you with advice, take them into account, because they are really good.

I will definitely come back.

Thank you Komba Cabana for an exceptional vacation and kindness! 🙂

If White Lotus were ever filmed in Madagascar, this would be the spot.

We’ve been lucky enough to travel to over 70 countries, staying in more hotels, bungalows, and lodges than we could begin to count. And yet, Komba Cabana stands in a league of its own.

From the moment we stepped off the boat, it was clear that we’d arrived somewhere truly special. Špela and Borut have created more than just a place to stay – they’ve built a dream. Every inch of Komba Cabana is infused with their love, creativity, and care. You feel it in the thoughtful design of the bungalows, in the little handmade touches, and in the way nature and comfort blend so effortlessly here.

Nestled in the wild, this immaculate lodge is both a sanctuary and a launchpad. The meals are tailored to you, made with incredible local ingredients and heart. Days were filled with unforgettable adventures, organised with ease and insight – we explored corners of the world we didn’t even know existed.

And when we came back to rest, the details were just as magical. One afternoon we got a little too much sun, and without even asking, they brought us freshly chilled aloe vera from the garden – not out of obligation, but out of genuine care.

There’s a small private beach just steps away, where time slows down in the best possible way.

But the real luxury is the people. Every single member of the team treats you with such warmth and attention that you feel looked after in a way that’s rare and real.

Komba Cabana isn’t just a stay. It’s an experience that will stay with you forever. ✨

Holiday · Friends: We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Komba Cabana! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcome with their warm and friendly hospitality. The resort itself is perfect for families, offering a great mix of relaxation and fun activities for both kids and adults. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, providing a cozy retreat after a day of adventures. The atmosphere was lively yet relaxing, and the attention to detail in making guests feel at home was truly appreciated. What really stood out was how the staff went above and beyond to make our trip special. Their kindness and enthusiasm created such a memorable experience for our family. If you’re looking for a family-friendly resort with excellent service and a fun, welcoming vibe, Komba Cabana is the perfect choice. We can’t wait to come back!

We stayed here three days me and my girlfriend. The island is an authentic pearl immersed in the wildest and most lush jungle. A few meters away there is a discreet coral reef where you can see many sea turtles pass daily, some even giants! The hospitality of the owners of the structure (beautiful and immersed in the jungle) is unique. Thanks to their professionalism and customer care they will make your experience truly unforgettable. We left there really with tears for how well we were treated. We left a piece of heart to Nosy Komba.

We arrived in Komba Cabana from Nosy Be and the difference was night and day. Private pick up arranged and the warmest of welcomes straight off the boat, greeted by the family and the team with waves, music, tropical flower necklaces and big big smiles. The place has been immaculately blended into the jungle island paradise. Luxurious private villas, refined landscaping and a touch of their history at every turn. The hosts and their kids have created a haven of beauty with unimaginable effort that will last for a lifetime or 2 ……

Where to begin with reviewing this beautiful resort. We came here for our honeymoon and it’s safe to say we felt we entered paradise. Spela (the owner), her son and the staff are incredibly welcoming. They really take care of you and you can feel how much effort goes into giving back to the island and its community.
The lodges were beautiful and allowed you to fully embrace island living. The gardens are one of a kind and the food is all based on the local cuisine, making your Malagasy experience all the more authentic.
We stayed here for six nights and had support booking all of our excursions and travel to and from the airport. Also important to note, the excursions were with local guides that the lodge has built relationships with, you can really feel everyone is working their best to give you a peak Madagascar experience. We cannot recommend a stay here enough ❤️

A very unique and special hotel, a little paradise. Do not miss this special hotel on your trip to Madagascar! Rooms: 5/5; Service: 5/5; Location: 5/5. Great view, Romantic, Quiet, Child-friendly

We were sprach less. The highlight of our trip to Madagascar. After our trip from Sakalava to Nosy Be, Komba Cabana was the best, perfect and most welcoming happy ending.
The lodge is designed wonderfully with such a good taste and lot of beautiful details with shells.
The food is incredible, home-made and freshly prepared, they even had a lot of delicious things for my vegan sister. The location is magical. Nosy Komba is beautiful. The view is incredible and from the beach on the big rocks you have one of the best sunsets you will experience in Madagascar. We went diving as well so we had lots of things to do and lovely activities and nature to explore. 🐢🐠🤿
And finally, the hosting family, is so welcoming and friendly, we felt like home over there. Their warm hospitality is unforgettable, we talked for ages and it was so wonderful to share all the story’s and memories altogether, one of the most beautiful places in Madagascar! We hope to come back very soon and bring my dad this time to show him how wonderful this place is ! 🤞🏼🏝️ thank you for everything Ela 🙂
