Situated 120 km north of Mahajanga is the luxury Anjajavy Hotel. It is built on a peninsula in a large bay and surrounded by a 450 hectare reserve of dry deciduous woodland - perfect for nature lovers! There is no road to Anjajavy. Anjajavy lies in the heart of the Menabe Sakalava territory. There are only barely signposted paths through the bush and forest.

Anjajavy can be accessed by plane from Antananarivo or Nosy Be. An extraordinary change of scenery is guaranteed as soon as you take off! After a flight of low altitude vistas of the scenery, you will land on a private runway on the Anjajavy peninsula.

A large swimming pool faces the ocean. The beach in front of your villa is reserved for sunbathing and swimming. A second beach with a marina offers the following water sports: Sailing boats, windsurfing, canoes, snorkelling, aqua gym, ski boarding, fishing boat excursions (to see the Morombe Bay, la Garconniere des Dieux…).

A small oasis of Caillebotis Palissandre (trees) offering welcome shade. This garden known as the oasis and it attracts a wide variety of birds and is a relaxing place for afternoon tea served here every afternoon at 17h00.

The forest surrounding Anjajavy is home to the daytime lemurs - Coquerel's Sifaka, Brown Lemur which are in good condition and easy to see. Nocturnal lemurs here include Mouse Lemurs, Fat-tailed Dwarf Lemur and Milne-edwards Sportive-lemur. Many species of bird occur here including Madagascar Buzzard, Grey-headed Lovebird, Tototoroka Scops-0wl, Sickle-billed and White-headed vangas, and Red-capped Coua. Madagascar Flying Fox are common in the nearby mangroves. Botanically this is a very interesting area with amazing groves of Baobab (Adansonia madagascariensis), Pachypodium, Euphorbia, Combretum and Albizia species, three species of palm and magnificent examples of Cycas thouarsii and many, many others.
