Co-founded by Phillippe Kjellgren, together with hospitality investors Benjamin Habbel and Jeff Coe of LimeStone Capital - Voaara in Madagascar was dreamed up by Philippe and his wife Vi. Founder of PK’s List and Kiwi Collection, Philippe has made it his life’s work to become an expert in the world’s luxury hotels, staying in over 2,000 of the world’s best hotels in 150 countries, identifying the need for a true barefoot luxury experience as a result.
Now realising his dream, Swedish Philippe and his Canadian wife Vi is taking inspiration from their travels to ensure every element of Voaara Madagascar and the wider Voaara Hotels brand is thoughtfully and deliberately chosen to create places and spaces of quality, innovation, and authenticity - with other properties already identified in the Caribbean, Africa, Mexico and Brazil.
‘Voarara’, meaning forbidden or sacred; and ‘Voara’, meaning nature or fruit - Voaara Madagascar illustrates a place of simple elegance incorporating a rustic tropical wabi sabi style design with quiet luxury for those seeking unspoiled nature, surrounded by all the luxuries of a five-star resort.
The first of its kind in this region, Voaara Madagascar brings with it an exciting new approach to resort living that not only invites guests to visit, but also become part of a community, with a limited number of villas available for inaugural guests to purchase. Set to launch initially with seven 1 & 2 understated, yet luxurious bungalows and one three-bedroom villa - a renovation of the existing resort - this private paradise will eventually expand, through a phased launch. Kjellgren worked with South African-Chilean architect Luis F Mira to design spaces adorned with local materials and reclaimed wood, along with infinity pools. Voaara Madagascar is the perfect destination for a twinstay for those travelling to adventure in Africa, providing an exciting new luxury Indian Ocean beach destination.
