Anjajavy Le Lodge ANJAJAVY VILLAGE, MADAGASCAR
On Madagascar’s northwest coast, where red earth meets the turquoise waters of the Mozambique Channel, lies a peninsula accessible only by plane. Here, Anjajavy Le Lodge, a Relais & Châteaux property, offers a rare blend of untouched wilderness, community engagement and exceptional gastronomy. The lodge is surrounded by a 27,000-acre
Protected Area that harbours seven lemur species, more than 130 bird species and an extraordinary array of flora, from towering baobabs to hardwoods found nowhere else on Earth. Visitors encounter a landscape largely unchanged for millennia, with dry deciduous forests, mangrove labyrinths, pristine beaches and sculpted limestone peaks. A landmark conservation initiative has reintroduced Aldabra giant tortoises, absent for more than 500 years, while researchers continue to discover new reptile species within the reserve. Cuisine lies at the heart of the Anjajavy experience.
Twice a week, local fishermen arrive with lobsters, octopus and reef fish, while farmers and beekeepers bring tropical fruits, heirloom vegetables and wild
honey to a market within the lodge grounds. Guests can meet producers and follow each ingredient’s journey from harvest to plate. Created by chef Fidèle, a Malagasy native born in Anjajavy, menus evolve daily with the tides and seasons, celebrating baobab fruit, zebu, wild honey and herbs sourced through ultra-short supply chains. Dining experiences are equally remarkable.
Banquets unfold beneath ancient baobabs, barefoot picnics take place on secluded beaches and lantern-lit tables invite guests to dine under the Southern Hemisphere stars. Every setting reflects the island’s landscapes, turning each meal into a celebration of Malagasy culture and terroir. Guests can kayak through mangroves, trek tsingy
spires or explore villages, with lemur-watching and quiet moments in gardens inhabited by sifakas completing the retreat. Twenty-four villas built from precious hardwood open directly onto the ocean. Anjajavy Le Lodge is more than a destination; it’s
a model of integrated luxury and conservation. With 99.5% of staff Malagasy — 85% from nearby villages — it sustains both biodiversity and community.
