The perfect holiday in Anjajavy

Anjajavy is exemplary in that it privately protects an extensive tropical dry deciduous forest packed baobabs and rare wildlife, deep in Sakalava country

Anjajavy sits on a remote peninsula on Madagascar’s northwest coast and is one of the country’s most exclusive and rewarding places to stay. It’s only accessible by light aircraft, which adds to the sense of arrival – and once you're there, it feels like you’ve stepped into a private, self-contained world of forests, beaches, and barefoot luxury.

What we love about Anjajavy is how effortlessly it combines comfort and conservation. You’ll stay in one of 24 elegant rosewood villas, each with sea views and easy access to the lodge’s private coves. Lemurs leap between the trees in the garden, chameleons laze in the sun, and tropical birds call from the canopy. It’s a place where nature comes to you, and you can choose how much or how little you want to do.

Days can be as active or as peaceful as you like – from snorkelling along coral reefs and kayaking through mangroves, to forest walks, tsingy explorations, or simply lying back with a book on a near-deserted beach. Anjajavy also plays a key role in protecting the surrounding reserve, working closely with local communities and rewilding projects. It’s luxury that feels thoughtful and grounded – a genuinely special place to end your Madagascar journey.
