Manafiafy Beach and Rainforest Lodge

Facilities

General

God clearly made Madagascar when He was three years old during His nursery-school art session, just using too much of all his favourite things – vast empty yellow beaches that go on for ever, huge crunchy carpets of iridescent seashells, turquoise seas, great piles of granite boulders thrown petulantly all across the hinterland; tangled, glossy green forests full of funny-looking lemurs and chameleons. Behind Manafiafy Beach and Rainforest Lodge to one side is a huge, mirror-like mangrove swamp; to the other, wetlands seething with amazing carnivorous plants that look like art nouveau candelabra. The six traditional wood and thatch villas are enormous and eco-to-the-gills (don’t expect pillow menus or air con). Go fishing out at sea, snorkelling in the bay, take endless nature walks and don’t miss the awesome whale-watching – from June to October, this is the best place in South East Africa to spot leaping, splashing humpbacks.

Manafify Beach Rainforest Lodge se trouvent dans le Sud-Est malgache, précisément à 2h30 de Fort Dauphin, la grande ville de la région. Manafiafy, aussi connu sous le nom de Saint-Luce, est une baie calme, riche en biodiversité et en histoire. Aucune place pour l’ennui.
