Doany Beach

You’ll come away with memories of the village children’s laughter, beautiful sunsets, attentive staff, the chef’s dishes, and conversations by the sea with fellow travelers and Monsieur Poupard. The people you meet and the places you see are what make a trip, and Doany Beach will add a lot to that. This ecolodge sits in a lush, well-cared-for garden. Jean Michel and Florida are warm hosts who make you feel like part of their family. From the moment you arrive at Doany Beach, there’s hospitality, authenticity, and affection. Congratulations to the whole staff for their work in this beautiful corner of the Lokobe reserve.

Swimming here was a pleasure, with lovely fish to see and turtles to swim alongside. The bungalows are comfortable, the food is good, and the service attentive. Add the boat arrival and the beauty of the place and its surroundings, and it’s a special stay. Activities and excursions to parks and magnificent little islands are close by.

Between the sound of waves on the shore, wind in the palms, birdsong, and lemurs, it’s hard to imagine a better place to slow down. Come to relax, recharge, and take in the sunrises and sunsets. Jean-Michel and Florida have brought fresh life to this lovely little corner of paradise, reached by boat. It’s tastefully decorated and far from the noise and bustle. The staff are attentive without hovering, and there for you whatever the weather. I highly recommend it.

Jean Michel, Flo, and the whole team were so friendly, and the welcome, bungalow, and excellent meals made our stay wonderful and unforgettable. When we’re back in Nosy Be, we’ll definitely stay at Doany Beach again. We recommend it wholeheartedly.
