About Ambre Nature Lodge

Comfortable garden bungalows at this oasis in Madagascar's tropical north.
Charming, eco-friendly Ambre Nature Lodge lies near the sleepy French colonial village of Joffreville, in Madagascar’s far north. Here, simple and relaxed Malagasy style blends beautifully with the astonishing tropical location, making this a great base for nature lovers wishing to explore the Ambre (Amber) Mountain National Park, just a few kilometres away, and the other parks and small towns nearby. Accommodation consists of 12 comfortable thatched bungalows in lush tropical gardens, with far-reaching views over the rolling hills and dense forests all the way to the Indian Ocean.

Property details

The property

The heart of the lodge is an open-plan thatched timber dining room and bar, with rich natural tones of rosewood and bamboo, and colourful locally produced works of art. Outdoors is a terrace with several comfortable seating areas where guests can relax and enjoy a special Malagasy cocktail while admiring the views. Cuisine is a tasty fusion of French and local dishes featuring seasonal local produce and delicious seafood. (Vegetarian? Try the ratatouille.) There's limited wi-fi in the main area.

The rooms

Winding pathways lead from the main area through the garden to 12 spacious, thatched wooden bungalows, spaced well apart for privacy. Each has an en-suite bathroom, and plenty of space for an extra bed or two for families, if required. The furnishings are simple and comfortable, with mosquito nets, warm natural colours throughout, and an elevated private outdoor timber deck facing the Ambre Mountain Forest or the Bay of Diego in the distance.

Activities

Ambre Mountain NP is one of the most biologically diverse places on the island – a wonderland of lush montane forest, crater lakes and sparkling waterfalls. Guided walks to view lemurs, birds and other endemic species can be arranged, and the park is within easy driving distance if you prefer exploring on your own. The vibrant coastal town of Antsiranana (previously Diego Suarez) is about 30 kilometres away. And when you can explore no more, the lodge offers great massages.
