About Le Maki Lodge

A romantic cliffside setting, lovely rooms and unbelievably starry nights

Le Maki Lodge is a pretty little hotel near Ampangorina, a small village on the north shore of Nosy Komba. It's the perfect location if you're looking for a relaxed ambience, simple but comfortable accommodation, the freshest of foods and a creative chef. The daytime views from the lodge's rocky promontory setting embraces the entire palette of blues and, at night, the domed sky is alive with stars.

Property details

The property

The shaggy-thatched, open-sided dining area, bar and terrace are where guests gather to chat and eat, although you can choose to have your meals delivered to your bungalow. The food is imaginative and very good (opt for full board as breakfast is not included in the rates). Lunch and dinner include delicious Malagasy and Creole specialities that are too good to miss. This property is rated as one of the best value inns in Ampangorina.

The rooms

Le Maki Lodge has five stilted, sea-facing bungalows with extraordinary views across the ocean to Nosy Be and the eastern coast of Nosy Komba. The rooms are spacious, with warm hardwood floors, large netted beds, an en-suite shower and toilet and a small private terrace that could, in all truth, be a little larger. The bungalows are simple, but perfectly clean and adequate for a comfortable stay. There's electricity, mobile phone coverage and internet connectivity in the restaurant and bungalows.

Activities

The beach in front of the hotel is designed for lazy days and gentle swims. But as Nosy Komba is an island of lemurs, it would be a pity to pass up the opportunity to hike to see these endearing primates. Explore nearby Ampangorina village to buy handmade souvenirs. Arrange (at reception) an excursion to Nosy Tanikely to snorkel the shallows, scuba dive or loll on the beach. Or have a romantic island picnic.
