Nature Lodge

A beautiful location, delicious food and friendly helpful staff

Reviewed By annegH4107BI

Nature Lodge is a very attractive wooden building with far reaching views out to the Mozambique Channel in one direction and the Indian Ocean in the other. The bungalows are comfortable and the view from our balcony was superb. Nathan couldn’t have been more helpful.Even though he was busy, he was very friendly and went out of his way to be helpful. We stayed full board and loved all the food that we had. We would definitely recommend Nature Lodge.

Good hotel, close to main attractions

Reviewed By Hannah B

We stayed for the weekend whilst we were working further south. Nice, clean rooms with AC and hot water. Wifi in the restaurant area. The staff were friendly and helpful, recommending things to do in the area. This is a mid-range hotel for the Diego area which is nicely done and right behind Rue Colbert - a great location.

Très belle surprise

Tout est immense dans cet hôtel : le parc, les chambres, les lits.. Petits et grands se régalent avec une famille de lémuriens, des crocodiles, et une piscine à débordement ! Le petit déjeuner est très complet et très bon, tout comme les repas, avec un rapport qualité prix excellent. Et pour finir l’accueil : tout le monde est au petit soin, le patron a le cœur sur la main et se démène pour que les touristes soient comblés ! Merci merci, on n’oubliera pas notre passage à Diego grâce à vous!

Sakalava Lodge

Created in 2000 by Greg, a Windsurf passionate, what was once a simple surf camp became the reference in Madagascar for windsurf, kite and SUP. In a splending park of 5 hectares facing the lagoon, sheltered from the wind, nestled in the shade of the filaos trees, today the Sakalava Lodge offers services that will satisfy a demanding clientele in search of charm, authenticity and sharing. A human-sized ecolodge built of local materials; 100% solar powered, a restaurant offering refined cuisine based exclusively on fresh products, a friendly bar, a kitesurfing center equipped with Airush 2019 equipment, a team of experienced IKO instructors best riders of the country, a windsurfing and SUP center and always the same state of mind that from the first day contributed to the success of the lodge.

A unique place

Reviewed By vingre

My wife and I spent 18 days at Sakalava Lodge in May 2022 on a kitesurf trip to Madagascar. It was exactly the place we were looking for our stay. Welcoming, comfortable and professionally run. Bungalows are located directly on the beach under the shade of filaos and shielded from the wind. The room and the bathroom of our bungalow (number 2) were spacious with good storage space for clothes and luggage (however not enough drying lines for kite gear), a mosquito net around the bed, fresh water (as opposed to sea water in other lodges along the beach) and a small terrace with armchairs and a table. Local rosewood furniture and pebbled floor in the bathroom gave a rustic touch to room decoration. Neither fan nor air conditioning but at no time was it necessary as the wind provided enough natural ventilation. Sakalava Lodge only offers an all-inclusive formula with food, accommodation and unlimited access to the kite center whether for renting equipment or taking classes. This may not seem the right formula for those wanting to use their own equipment. However, all things considered it brings real benefits. First, it takes out logistics issues as bringing equipment to Sakalava Bay is not that easy (at the time we were there only 3 flights a week between Paris and Antananarivo and 3 flights a week between Antananarivo and Antsiranana/Diego Suarez). Second, the equipment provided (Airush) is top notch and in sufficient quantity to equip all users. In almost 3 weeks I never had an availability issue with equipment when I needed to change kite. Food is clearly one of Sakalava Lodge's strong points. Tasty, fresh, with a lot of variety and even with unexpected products such as local "foie gras" or local frog legs. No pre-set menu. Everyday before lunch and dinner Tinay, the lodge manager, makes suggestions based on the catch of the day and products from nearby markets. No obligation to follow the suggestion however. If you just want a salad or a grilled fish the request can be accommodated as well as customers' dietary restrictions. This is very flexible. I haven't mentioned yet the other place's main strong point, the kite spot. Simply amazing. Allowing beginners to safely practice, more advanced kiters to play in the reef waves and big air fans to try new tricks. Greg, the owner and an excellent kiter himself, knows the spot first hand and can provide useful information on weather, wind or the presence of coral rocks. All this makes a stay at Sakalava Lodge a unique experience. Consider however that this is a lodge as opposed to a beach resort. Yes there can sometimes be issues with water pressure in the bungalows or hot water availability but really nothing that can ruin your stay and that the team won't try to quickly fix. Just things that can occur in a remote place in a country largely insulated from mass tourism. To those who are looking for a world class kite spot, great natural scenery and a professionally run hotel/lodge with relaxed and laid-back atmosphere (special mention to the whole team from housekeeping staff to kite instructors) I highly recommend Sakalava Lodge.

Peace & security - would come back!

Reviewed By Gwylan

Found by chance after some trauma in Antananarivo. Collected from the airport and installed in a compfortable and well equipped room. Ended up spending best part of a week there. The little kitchen, fridge etc meant we could have catered for ourselves - or we could at least make a coffee or have a beer nearby.

Wonderful memorable stay. It was not easy to leave. Comfortable room, great services. Team (Staff and owner) very friendly. Amazing garden where if you're lucky enough get a chance to meet lemures and lots of birds. For sure I do recommend. They organize from the hotel a large choice of activities. They made us fall in love with Diego.

Spacious rooms, clean, very nice breakfast (buffet). Friendly staff, was unlucky to arrive when the whole city was without water due to problems with the supplier (Jirama). Very nice swimming pool and close to bars and restaurants.

Okay, not special

Reviewed By pickling

High flyers, don't come here. For the rest of us, there were some nice things here, but I wouldn't want to stay for more than a night or two at most. Room: simple and clean, but that doesn't include the bathroom. When there was water (hot water being a different issue altogether), I felt okay about washing my hands there, but not about getting in that shower setup. Maybe I'm a wuss (or not filthy enough), Reception, etc.: Desk folks were nice 90%. Got put in a dark, cold, room one of the nights we were there. They were not interested in shifting us to something less dark, etc... Wifi: sometimes, when there was electricity. AC: see above Neighborhood: I found from a local, after a couple of days, that tourists get fleeced on the streets with some frequency. Night walking from eating dinner did make me nervous. Good idea: don't walk around the outside of the hotel under windows, since the panes might just fall out if someone decides to open it up. I don't know if there are options that are in the general price range that are truly different and better.
