Manafiafy Wild Beach, Manafiafy, Madagascar

Manafiafy Beach and Rainforest Lodge

Beach and Island Escapes
Beaches and Islands, Madagascar

Offering the perfect antidote to the dusty and adventurous Mandrare (its sister camp), these enormous, open-plan, luxury cottages are about exceptional service and being wined and dined.

The rooms themselves and private decking are discreetly tucked away on a remote and wild stretch of mangrove beach, with the main lodge open but designed in such a way as to create a cosy and convivial atmosphere.

The large, oak dining table sets the stage for the lodges exceptional food – fresh lobster caught from right outside the lodge – washed down with chilled wine or a cold beer before nightcaps are enjoyed sinking into the cushions around the fire to the sound of the rolling surf.

Why We Like Manafiafy

The sense of space and rugged beauty around the camp accentuates the cosy and convivial atmosphere inside. And this is to say nothing of the fantastic seafood, including freshly caught lobster, served up in the evenings.
