Ankasy Lodge… a dream lagoon in southern Madagascar !
In a stunning setting, beside an emerald and turquoise lagoon, on a beautiful white sandy beach, time stands still… Welcome to Ankasy Lodge, a small world within a world, unspoiled by mass tourism. An ecolodge nestled in wild and unspoilt nature, which fits perfectly into its surroundings to offer you a moment of happiness and serenity.
Ankasy Lodge is one of the best kept secrets of Madagascar, an unpretentious paradise where natural luxury and exotic charm combine to delight the senses.
Located on the coast, 80km north of Tulear under the Tropic of Capricorn, next to the beautiful lagoon of Ambatomilo, Ankasy Lodge offers nine spacious bungalows of great comfort, and a charming restaurant, all nestled in the hollow of a white sandy beach that is 1.3 km long. A place of truly breathtaking beauty.
An exceptional discovery that will mark your stay in Madagascar!
With a surface of 100 m², each bungalow offers exceptional comfort. Our challenge and our ambition is to give you the feeling of being at home inside, and in your own piece of paradise at the end of the world as soon as you step outside! A unique design with a heat chimney that works as a natural air conditioning, large sliding doors with views and direct access to the beach, no vis-à-vis or obstacles between the lagoon and your eyes… The ecological management of hot water provided each evening from a solar trunk reminds us that we are in the bush in the middle of a very dry region where the need to optimize the use of water is primordial…

Supervised by Maroussia, the kitchen staff prepares these fresh products straight from the sea into meals much appreciated for their diversity and taste. On the menu: all the varieties of fish found in the region (daisy, grouper, captain, dorado dolphin fish etc.), squid, lobster, slipper lobster… and even sea urchins or oysters that you can collect yourself during your excursion to the lagoon by boat and that bring their touch of iodine originality when the cocktail hour arrives.
