EXCELLENT Based on 243 reviews Posted on Louis Schecked A fantastic holiday combining sport and good cheer! A fantastic experience learning kitesurfing! The whole team goes out of their way to ensure you have the best possible holiday. Thank you and see you soon!Posted on Matheo Mchecked Great stay! Great place, lovely and super professional staff, and very accommodating! We went there as a family to learn kitesurfing! We left extremely satisfied with the setting and the atmosphere.Posted on LISA Schecked Go for it! A truly perfect stay in every way! The staff were incredibly kind, the food delicious, the kiteboarding instructor was wonderful, and the location was magnificent! I highly recommend it!Posted on Giel Vchecked Best place ever! What an incredible stay at Sakalava Lodge! Incredible location, the sweetest and caring staff you can imagine and beautiful rooms with very comfortable beds! And the food… my goodness! Would definitely recommend anyone looking for an adventurous vacation but with the perfect stay to check this place out. 10/10!Posted on Martinent Jean Pchecked #1 on Sakalava Bay Everything contributed to the success of our family holiday: consistently favorable winds for kitesurfing, a prime location on the beach near the protective mangroves, and a property large enough to allow for freedom of movement—unlike the other, much more cramped lodges on the beach; personalized service expertly orchestrated by the housekeeper; varied, delicious, and plentiful food; a warm and friendly atmosphere where the owner and his family, other guests, staff, and their children mingle; qualified, smiling, and passionate instructors; appreciable comfort (hot water available, rooms cleaned at least once a day, spacious family bungalow); and architecture that is both refined and respectful of its environment. Kiteboarding novices (like us) will find just as much to enjoy as the pros. In this regard, the unlimited package is more than just a plus: firstly, because starting out in kitesurfing takes much longer than the ten hours offered by other providers in the bay, secondly, because it removes a mental burden you don't need in addition to the stress inherent in learning :) In short, it's easy to see why a good portion of the clientele returns year after year!Posted on Kader Achecked Amazing place, incredible people! I've just returned from my second visit to Sakalava Bay, and once again, this place exceeded all expectations. This time I stayed at Sakalava Lodge and they were absolutely amazing - their warmth and professionalism create an atmosphere where you feel welcomed from the moment you arrive. Everyone goes above and beyond to ensure guests have everything they need. The owner, Greg's attention to detail and his generosity toward both staff and guests creates a positive vibe throughout the lodge, and you can feel how much he cares about providing an exceptional experience for everyone who stays there (the new espresso machine were such a beautiful gesture - thank you). For anyone serious about kitesurfing or simply looking for an authentic, well-run lodge with heart, and amazing kite crew Sakalava Lodge is the place to be.Posted on Philip F.checked A very relaxing holiday. Gregory and his team are well-prepared to ensure you have a dream vacation in the land of kitesurfing. For those who don't kitesurf: yoga, massage, excursions, beach... A holiday to truly disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and escape the noise.Posted on Niclas Echecked Sakalava Bay is a dream come true for any kiteboarder. Constant wind, a huge emerald-colored lagoon with waist-deep water. Perfect for learning, progressing, or just having fun. And if you're looking for more excitement, you can head out past the reef and ride the waves. Sakalava Lodge was the perfect base. Relaxed atmosphere, delicious food, and super friendly and helpful staff who made everything easy. I wingfoiled during high tide and took kiteboarding lessons at low tide - the best of both worlds. Everything was smooth, fun, and so well organized. The boat excursion to Emerald Sea was an absolute highlight. Don't miss it! Highly recommended to anyone who loves wind, water, and good vibes.Posted on Eyal Mchecked Amazing Kitesurfing Getaway – Perfect for Kiting and Relaxation Just got back from an incredible week at this kitesurfing resort. The wind was amazing – blowing strong every hour of the day – and the vibe on the water was always energetic and supportive. The kite instructors are top-notch and always looking out for you. Big thanks to Origino 👑 for the guidance and good vibes! The food was great, and the rooms were clean, comfy, and welcoming. Special thanks to Tinay for running the kitchen so smoothly – every meal hits the spot. Gregory and the entire team are warm, caring people who make sure you have everything you need. Can't wait to come back!Posted on Ambroise Mchecked Kiteboarding holiday at Sakalava Lodge Excellent stay at Sakalava Lodge! Beyond the spot and the kitesurfing (and/or wingfoil) coaching we received, the hospitality was outstanding: a super welcome, a very friendly team, and we were pampered. Greg also gave us great advice on other activities if the conditions weren't suitable for kitesurfing. The atmosphere is great, especially in the bar where guests gather between sessions to chat and enjoy an aperitif. Special mention goes to Tinay's cooking: everything is homemade and caters to everyone's preferences. There's a choice of sweet or savory breakfast options, and there are always two choices for the evening menu (for both the starter and the main course!). I'll be back. 😉
