La Croix du Sud is the reference hotel in Fort-Dauphin. Located in the heart of the historic center and a few steps from the beach, its 32 rooms are arranged around a small inner garden, source of tranquility and conviviality.
A lodge far from any crowds where lemurs have free reign and nature feels incredibly close
Just about in the middle of nowhere, Berenty Lodge takes off-the-beaten-track to a new level. In this case, 'nowhere' is actually one of Madagascar's oldest protected reserves, and Berenty is tucked amongst a forest of tamarind trees on the banks of the Mandrare River. You'll spend most of your time exploring the private wilderness on foot, where residents include multiple species of lemur, fossas and eye-catching birdlife. The lodge is family-owned and functional with little to detract from the natural surrounds, but you'll be more than comfortable. And even when you're at base, keep your peepers peeled for the lemurs who hang out on the grounds!
A delightful boutique property on one of Fort Dauphin's prettiest beaches.
Set amidst a forest of beautiful casuarina trees, high on the the hills above Libanona Bay, Talinjoo Hotel is one of the finest in Fort Dauphin. Talinjoo's design has kept the natural motifs of Madagascar throughout, from stacked stone feature walls to creative, hand-carved furnishings. Outside, enjoy the spoils of the fabulous location from a cushioned spot beside the infinity pool or cradling a cocktail as the sun dips below the horizon. The beach below is more than tempting for a day of sunbathing, swimming or learning to surf, and waking to the gentle lapping of waves and views of the sun-dappled sea is our idea of perfection...
