Before booking a kitesurfing holiday, the real question isn't "how much does it cost per night?" but "how much will I actually spend at the end of the week?" This is where most kitesurfing destinations trap you: an attractive starting price, then equipment rental, hourly coaching, meals out, drinks, transfers… and the final bill skyrockets.
At Sakalava Lodge, they've taken the opposite approach: a single, all-inclusive price, announced before your departure. Here, with supporting figures, is what a kitesurfing or wingfoiling holiday in Madagascar really costs.
Our promise in 4 words: unlimited, clear, no surprises, controlled budget
Unlimited access to our IKO-certified kitesurfing and wingfoil center: unlimited equipment, courses, and coaching, with no extra charges or fees. You can kitesurf in the morning, afternoon, and try kitesurfing and wingfoiling all in the same day—it's included.
Clear. One price per package and per duration, displayed on our pricing page. No hidden grid, no misleading "starting from" price.
No surprises there. Accommodation, full board, open bar, equipment, coaching: everything is arranged before your arrival. You land in Madagascar with a budget already set.
Controlled budget. Whether you stay 3 nights or a week, you know to the euro what your stay will cost — and you can simulate it online in 30 seconds.

In practical terms, for a couple of riders on an all-inclusive week-long package, this works out to approximately €171 per person per night — including beachfront accommodation, full board, open bar, and unlimited kitesurfing/wingfoiling. None of these services will be charged again during your stay.
What is included (and what remains optional, clearly displayed)
Always included in the all-inclusive package:
- Beachfront bungalow
- Full board (breakfast, lunch, dinner)
- open bar
- Kitesurfing & wingfoiling galore: equipment, courses, IKO coaching
- Access to Stand Up Paddleboarding
- Fitness & cross-training room, pickleball court
Optional, if you wish (never mandatory):
- Diego Suarez airport transfer: €25 for 1 to 3 people, then €10 per additional person
- Transfer from Nosy Be to Ankify (4x4, 5-hour drive, driver and fuel included): €270 to €370
- Red Tsingy excursion (half day): €70/person.
- Amber Mountain excursion (half day): €60/person.
- Kite Trip in the Emerald Sea: €50
- Childcare (nanny), on request
You see the total before you leave: nothing will be charged on site unless you have chosen it.
Why "all-inclusive" holidays are often cheaper than "budget" holidays
On a classic kite destination, with an à la carte package, you should generally expect to pay per day and per person: €40 to €60 for equipment rental, €50 to €70 per hour of coaching, €20 to €30 per meal excluding accommodation, not including drinks and time lost in transfers between the spot and the lodge.
Over a week, these combined expenses quickly exceed the price shown by our packages — without even considering the reduced comfort: at Sakalava Lodge , you take off on foot from your bungalow, directly to the Sakalava Bay spot.
Family budget: riders and non-riders together
The all-inclusive model is ideal for families or mixed couples (one rider, one non-rider). The "2 people, 1 kiteboarder + 1 non-kiteboarder" package (€865 for 3 nights, €1,760 for one week) includes the same full board, open bar, and accommodation for both, with free access to stand-up paddleboarding, fitness facilities, and pickleball for the non-rider—plus optional excursions to explore northern Madagascar (Red Tsingy, Amber Mountain, Emerald Sea). Children under 12 are €110 (3 nights) or €275 (1 week), and a babysitting service is available upon request.
