The best accommodations Côte Des Contrastes

Overlooking the bay of Libanona (beautiful sunsets), this "boutique-hotel" has an incredible charm. Perfectly conceived, it combines a sober and refined contemporary design with traditional materials. The 15 well-decorated and original rooms have private terraces and open bathrooms (separate toilets). Other charming assets: the amazing infinity pool with its magnificent panorama and the Joo Spa with its excellent massages - with a breathtaking view of the sea. Bar service and very good restaurant with terrace. We love it!

In 2017, the warm Jeannot and Antoinette, the owners of the Antemoro hotel in Manakara, took over the management. An address in an exceptional location: overlooking the beach of Libanona, the 6 bungalows on the hillside offer undoubtedly the most beautiful view of Fort-Dauphin. The sunsets are idyllic. The whole is warm, peaceful and very comfortable (with free wi-fi), always well maintained. The hosts will be able to advise you on all kinds of activities, especially water sports (surfing and kitesurfing). A charming establishment, appreciated for its true value.

Great location, overlooking the river. Beautiful rustic bungalows with tiled floors. You can eat it (bread, pizza, lobster in season), it's very good. The best option for a 2-day circuit from Manakara to Fort Dauphin, especially as the reception of Victor, a Marseille, is to small onions. A good plan!

Rustic ecogîte but of good comfort. Jihnie (fine stove) and Patrice, a Malagasy-Island couple, provide excellent personal hospitality. The location is perfect for recharge (overnight). All kinds of excursions in the corner and region, and even everywhere in Mada with their Flower travel agency. 

Former property of the Colbert group, this beautiful structure has recently been discharged. However, it continues to assert itself as a practical place of residence in Fort Dauphin: there is no more central, spacious and comfortable rooms, quality bakery/quality, complete spa with outdoor swimming pool (a bit exigüe), fitness space, indoor garden, free internet everywhere and a cosy bar…

In the middle of the reserve and an Olympian calm, here is a charming structure to stay as close as possible to nature. The choice is between (ventilated) bungalows and more recent and luxurious rooms, which offer optimal comfort with lounge, air conditioning and Italian shower. What a joy to fall asleep to the sound of lemurs and sometimes to see them on the terrace when they wake up. Plan to spend at least one night in the reserve, an unforgettable experience, in the heart of an amazing and preserved nature.

On the lake in a charming setting, this hotel offers spacious bungalows with bathroom, private terrace and fan. Charming and well integrated into the environment. Restaurant and bar. Nautical centre for walking on the lake. Many activities for recreation and excursion to the island of Portuguese. Surf site, so an ideal plan for the amateurs (confirmed).

A charming hotel, quiet, well kept and very comfortable. The 32 air-conditioned rooms (8 of which have a mezzanine) surround a flowery patio. It is welcoming, well thought out, and very nicely decorated. The Cinnamon Bar overlooks a pleasantly landscaped garden for a relaxing break. Wellness area (massages). All kinds of excursions are proposed in the region with multilingual guides: Berenty reserve, Saiadi park, Portuguese islet, Lokaro bay, Saint-Louis peak. An excellent choice in this price range, with a smiling and professional welcome.

For a long time, Le Dauphin was the only hotel worthy of the name. Neighboring La Croix du Sud, and owned by the same group, it is set in a particularly pleasant wooded park, with fifteen rooms, eleven of which are air-conditioned. The restaurant is one of the town's best-known establishments, serving delicious meat and seafood dishes... Tours of the town and surrounding area are available, as are numerous excursions: Berenty reserve, Saiadi park, Lokaro bay, Pic Saint-Louis, Islet des Portugais.

Very rustic.

The name is associated with the service station next door. The comfort is good (private health) but for the charm we will go.
