From the buildings at the front, guests can enjoy an early sunrise above the bay and the never ending sound of waves. Visible in the far distance towards the north is Windsor Castle and towards the east is Ramena and the passage to the bay.
The pier in front of the 11x5m pool was not built to receive ships but is a special venue for wedding receptions, photo sessions and selfies. It is also a very peaceful place where one can enjoy a few moments of calm in the early morning hours, watch fishing boats sail by or gaze the stars at night.

The area of Diego Suarez has much to discover. Water sport enthusiasts can dive into the rich underwater flora and fauna and relax at one of the many deserted beaches. An impressive viewpoint is the light tower near the Ramena village, overlooking the one kilometre wide entry passage to the giant bay.
Allamanda Hotel makes an ideal starting point for excursions in the near surroundings:
- Exploring the old harbour town of Diego Suarez with its unique architecture.
- A 15 minutes boat ride to the old ruins of the former military base Cap Diego.
- The turquoise shining bay Mer d'Emeraude (Emerald Sea) can be reached within one hour by boat.
- East of Diego Suarez, near the village Ramena, are three bays with wonderful and often deserted sandy beaches: Baie des Dunes, Baie de Sakalava and Baie des Pigeons.
- Ascent to the peak of Montagne des Francais (Mountain of the French) with incomparable views onto the Bay of Diego Suarez and the surrounding mountains.
- Guided tours by quad or 4x4.
- Montagne d'Ambre National Park, famous for its waterfalls and crater lakes (35km from Diego Suarez).
