Hotels near Ambanja

Kind service and great lodges overlooking the sea.

Les Jardins d'Ankify is a beautiful retreat in a stunning setting. The extensive, extraordinary garden is nestled amidst a forest above the village and contains two spacious, well-crafted and comfortable 'guest-huts' that are refreshed daily. The staff is wonderful, attentive and accommodating as well as committed to offer the best possible experience. The food is excellent and the small gestures, such as a daily arrangement of fresh flowers, is delightful. Just five minutes to a local beach and the quiet fishermen's village of Ankify.

We had issues with our flight and could not make it to the hotel our first night - the boats dont go once its dark. They were very understanding and advised us a hotel nearby the port on Nosy Be and made arrangements for our transfer the next day! The staff made sure it was a wonderful time. They also bring coffee each morning and make sure your terrace is rain proof by gathering all the stuff each night. We went for a full board and everyday the lunch and dinner varried. They mentioned it"d be 80% fish, but we saw that if you prefer meat they can cater to that. The cocktails are also great and if you can't choose, just let them make you something and be surprised! The dog and cats were friendly, a big plus for us animal lovers.

The best stay ever in a little paradise! Staying in a little bungalow on the beach surrounded by a beautiful environment. Amazing fresh and local food and Annie and the other staff went above and beyond to make our stay pleasurable. I would definitely recommend staying here!!!!!

Such a fabulous location, right over the beach 🏝️, with some of the most glorious sunsets I have ever seen. A reef 5 minutes swim off the shore, and bioluminescence in the water at night … it’s hard to believe this place exists.

Our stay at Komba in the Rocks was nothing short of incredible! My family and I spent three unforgettable days there, and from the moment we arrived, Isak made us feel like we’re at home. His warm and welcoming nature truly set the tone for our entire experience. We were lucky enough to have the place to ourselves, which made it feel even more special. Isak recommended an excursion to Nosy Tanikely for snorkeling, and we’re so glad we took his advice. It was, without a doubt, one of the best snorkeling spots I’ve ever experienced: an unbelievable variety of fish, crystal-clear waters, and so many turtles! His team made sure everything went smoothly, with his friendly skipper and one of his staff who gave us great insights about the area. Back at Komba in the Rocks, everything was just perfect. The rooms were beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, and you could tell that Isak and his team pay attention to every little detail. The food was another highlight!! Breakfast was generous and delicious, and the dinners were just as incredible. Each day, we were served a different local dish, always fresh and of high quality. If you’re looking for a place that combines breathtaking nature, outstanding hospitality, and a true home-away-from-home feeling, Komba in the Rocks is the place to be. A massive thank you to Isak and his team for making our stay so special - we’ll definitely be back!

We stepped off the boat onto the Coco Komba beach to a wonderful greeting by the owners followed by a family of lemurs. Our boys even got to feed them bananas (the lemurs, not the owners 😂). The family accommodation is really well designed and comfortable with 2 separate bedrooms divided by the bathroom and an outdoor sitting area. It’s located in the beautiful gardens and a fine viewing spot for the lemurs once more. The food was exceptional. Very thoughtful, very tasty and very well presented and served. We particularly enjoyed the whole crabs and the homemade bread, butter and jams. We really liked spending time relaxing at the beach, snorkelling out to the fantastic reef, the amazing sunsets and all the games and books provided. Big thanks to Patrick, Naik and the rest of the staff for making our stay so special and memorable!
