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.

Everything! Very cordial staff, most beautiful view, coral barrier. And incredible cooking. The excursion to the lemurs park is wonderful.

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.

Short version: stop looking and just book this amazons place. Longer version: we travel a lot and are a bit picky. This place really surprised us and was far beyond our (pretty high) expectations. Property: As there are only 4 chalets, it gives a very private and exclusive feeling. The chalets are simple but classy and beatiful and with amazing balconys and views. You could stay there all say - but don’t :) The outside environment is lovely with a beatiful garden with lots of trees, flowers and plants. The beach area is very pretty with comfy sunbeds and umbrellas perfectly placed in privacy. There are SUP boards and kayaks free of charge to use and you should! The sea is lovely, warm and safe and you can see fish and some turtles just swimming off the beach. The main building terrace where you have your meals is stunning with the most amazing view over the sea. If you are like us interested in birds you will be able to see some beautiful ones in the garden and from your balcony ! Food: We stayed for 9 nights and were never bored of the food. Breakfast is lovely with eggs, fruit and bread with a variety each day. Dinner is three courses and of course lo of focus on fish. Great, tasty and fresh food with lots of local produce. You can also get light lunches like a salad or a burger. Really good and very affordable. Service/staff: What makes this place so great is the people. Owners Sunette and Isak are just amazing warm and friendly hosts (and even more amazing persons !)and they Will make you feel like home (but better). Nothing is a problem, great attention to details and help with anything you need. For example great excursions for snorkeling and other stuff. Rest of the staff is also really great and you will be very well looked after. We really didn’t want to leave !! We had our last nights in another place on nosy be , was nice but far from this place. If I knew before I had definitely stayed here instead.

Food was delicious, they were so helpful with our 2 year old son. We also did 2 very nice boat trips with the owner and other guests.
