Cheap hotels in Anakao

This is the best place to stay in Anakao. Unlike many travellers, we were coming not after long auto trip from Antananarivo, flying to Toliara instead. So we were not tired and open to everything. This place has amazing relaxing vibe, with everything very well-thought and designed to bring privacy, tranquility and sense of being at the immaculate nature beach part of Madagascar. The other properties at Anakao are too close to the boat arriving site and local village that is very nice to visit and might be eat/drink at local restaurants, but missing the real beach feeling. La Dune des Songes is 20 mins walk away from all that, with the porter guys carrying your luggage. Sea view and sound of waves is just great to get that tropic feeling, the beachfront villa where we were staying in was very comfortable, clean and beautiful. You can see both sunset (sea view) and sunrise (bush view) from your villa, choosing between sofa, hammock, sun lounges or your own bar deck with bar chairs. Food is chef-grade, very exquisite and diverse, also the size of the meals are enough even if you are hungry. You have some choice like fish/meat/veg but you don’t need to think much and this adds to the overall relaxation. Amandine the owner and her staff are super-friendly and ready to do everything necessary to make your stay great. We had terrific boat trip to see the whales and visiting the perfect white sand turquoise sea Nosy Ve onboard of local pirogue boat with motor. Chef was coming with us to prepare the lunch (salad, grilled fish and vegetables with rice), and the sailor guys were very professional, bringing us to see some 5 whales coming out of the water and later to the reef for snorkelling. The way back was under the sail. One more thing to mention are great bar cocktails and decent wine selection.

They have cute bungalows right at the beach with everything you could ask for. Everything was working well (Best water pressure I have seen in Madagascar) and was very clean too. I felt very safe throughout the whole stay. The beach is empty and there aren't any people trying to sell you things etc. like in Ifaty. Lots of things to do in the area like exploring islands, snorkeling etc. Just ask at the reception. The restaurant is exceptional, the host is very nice and will help you with everything you may need! I highly recommend the place!

Excellent attention from the owner and the staff, all our wishes were fulfilled (even the unspoken ones - amazing!). Perfect help with the organization of tours and transportation. Great food, truly awesome location right on the beach, we enjoyed your meals watching the waves and the sunset :) Highly recommended!

This is a nice place to enjoy a couple of days at the beach. Nice location and with the coral reef close by just next to the small island Nosy Ve. The staff was nice and helpful and the food was very good as well.
