The place itself looks well-kept and beautiful but is much smaller and denser than the mouth seen in the photos

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.

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.

The owners Isak and Sunette made our whole stay exceptional and great! From day one we felt like we were staying with good friends. The property itself is beautiful and very well maintained down to the last detail (our respect goes to both of you, considering there was only jungle there before ;) ). The rooms are very clean and well-kept, the terraces/balconies of the bungalows are beautiful with a great view of the sea. Filtered water is available, can be constantly refilled and is included in the price (which is not self-evident of course: see Ankarana Lodge, for example ...), which is also very sustainable because it means that not too much plastic waste is produced. The lounge/bar/restaurant area, like the entire complex, is lovingly furnished with great attention to detail. The food is great and really delicious, with Malagasy and South African influences. My wife is a vegetarian and they came up with something new (!) every day and cooked delicious dishes for her. Isak's homemade cocktails are - unbelievably - the best in Madagascar (thanks Isak ;) ). Isak and Sunette are very helpful when it comes to buying vanilla and pepper, so a fair price is guaranteed. The two also organize numerous excursions and activities, the house reef itself is already beautiful and well preserved (also thanks to Isak, who introduces new corals). In general, the two are very keen to “give something back” to their surroundings and to run a sustainable business and support the local population. The price-performance ratio is more than fair and the location is great. Tip: Save yourself the stay on Nosy Be and (only) stay on Nosy Komba, because the reefs/coral at Nosy Be in the north are unfortunately dead (global warming and Cyclone “Gamane”), which is why the dive operators from Nosy Be always head south towards Nosy Komba to dive there, because the reefs around Nosy Komba are still beautiful. There are also plenty of (great) dive operators around Nosy Komba (e.g.

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.
