Madagascar

Ankasy Lodge reveals itself as a closely guarded secret in the deep south of Madagascar, 80 km from Tuléar. With a white sand beach stretching nearly 2 km, a pristine and translucent lagoon, and nine bungalows set directly at the water’s edge, it promises an exceptional experience in Madagascar.

Drift peacefully in a pirogue across the lagoon, relax on the suspended beds of the spacious private terraces, enjoy your favorite music in the large lounge equipped with Hi-Fi, explore for wild oysters on a quad bike, hike to majestic baobabs, sail the lagoon’s waves on a Hobie Cat or traditional Vezo pirogue, snorkel in a coral garden, and marvel at the beauty of the world on a small sandbank perched on the reef. At Ankasy Lodge, enjoy the freedom to unwind as nothing is imposed. Indulge in the luxury of being where time seems to stand still.

Perfectly in harmony with its natural surroundings, Ankasy Lodge is committed to environmental preservation and sustainable development for the region and the local community. From solar energy and LED lighting to employment creation and responsible water management, Ankasy Lodge embodies sustainable tourism, ensuring its unique environment is preserved for generations. Every improvement at the lodge reflects our dedication to guest satisfaction while safeguarding the surroundings that make Ankasy so extraordinary.

The Bungalows

Each 100 m² bungalow offers exceptional comfort. Our goal and challenge? To make you feel at home inside your bungalow and at the edge of the world once you step outside into your own piece of paradise.

Designed with a natural cooling system using a heat well, the bungalows feature large sliding glass doors with direct beach views and access, ensuring unobstructed views of the lagoon. Hot water is sustainably managed, provided nightly by solar heating, reminding us of the importance of optimizing water use in this arid region.

Flavors of the sea

Ankasy Lodge offers simple, healthy, balanced, and flavorful cuisine to complement your lagoon-side vacation. Daily supplies come from the surrounding villages and Vezo fishermen, whose catch of the day is purchased by the lodge. This sustainable partnership economically supports the local community while integrating the lodge into its environment.

Guided by Maroussia, the kitchen team prepares fresh, local seafood daily, creating menus that are as diverse as they are simple. Expect a variety of regional fish (such as snapper, grouper, dorado, and sea bream), squid, lobster, slipper lobster, and even sea urchins or oysters you can gather yourself during a lagoon excursion, adding a unique touch to your aperitif.
