Eden Lodge

Enjoyed three night (curtailed from five due to political situation) in this remote, tropical eden with golden sand, azure sea and rain forest. ||The Lodge and gardens blend into the natural environment to offer a sense of space, privacy and peace. So much attention has been given to comfort, function and ecological features. For example, there were lights in the cupboards, a drying wire in the massage space, comfortable chairs on the veranda and beside the sea, and the night lights were triggered by movement sensors. ||Another highlight was the food - all beautifully presented and fusing local ingredients with a French twist. For example, the chef created delicious pea gazpacho with brown bread toast and mint ice-cream. The picnic on the excursion to Nosy Iranja was special too - the fish cooked to perfection. ||All the staff were attentive and considerate, both to the guests and maintaining this Eden.

Superb Lodge. Accessible only by boat even though it lies on a forested peninsula of sorts, on the mainland, you can see Nosy Be (horribly busy) in the distance, yet it feels a world away. Surrounded by nature, lemurs, birds, iguanas etc, not to mention a constant stream of turtles just off the beach, this is a highly recommended place. We spent 6 nights, which was perfect. Detached chalets had everything we needed, restaurant/bar was great, staff and manager couldn't do enough to make your stay more comfortable. The excursions are also excellent. The snorkeling in Nosy Tanekily in particular is better than my last visit to the Maldives. Thanks to all involved, we will be recommending to anyone who will listen.

I’ve stayed in many beach resorts over the years and Eden Lodge is near the top of that list. We pulled up in the speedboat about 40 minutes from Nosy Be to a beautiful isolated beach, perfect warm water, only 6 “Tents” with nice patios, fully furnished with private massage tables off the back, kayaks and a Catamaran at our disposal, beautiful grounds full of Baobabs, Vanilla, Cinnamon, Jasmine, Ylang Ylang, and a creative menu with 3 excellent meals per day even if we had to struggle to avoid uncooked vegetables which is surprising given the location and travel guidance. ||Highly Recommend!

We stayed at Eden Lodge as the last 3 days of a trip around Madagascar. We were staying there to unwind before going home to the UK. We are a family of 5, including 3 teenage boys. I cannot speak more highly of our stay. The rooms and the setting are beautiful, with real attention to detail. As with all of our accommodation in Madagascar, the staff were exceptional. Friendly and attentive to our needs. You can choose to do nothing but read a book or swim on the very private beach or go for a hike, fish, play volley ball or have a card game with the amazing staff etc. if you feel the need to do something. If you sleep lightly, bring ear plugs if you don't want to hear the unique animal noises on a night.

We were very much looking forward to staying at this hotel and its sister hotel L’Heure Bleue in October 2025. As a result of the military coup there, the UK government advised its citizens against travelling to Madagascar. I therefore requested a refund of our deposit of 25% of the total cost of our stay. The hotel said it would give us a credit note, which is of no use to us as we cannot travel to Madagascar. While I realise the that the coup was beyond their control, I believe that the hotel should refund our deposit as we are unable to travel there through no fault of our own. Beware if you are considering booking a stay here.

What a very special place! A beautiful secluded location only accessible by boat. We were the only guests so had the mile long golden beach to ourselves and the local fishermen. Fantastic accommodation lodges, very good food, excellent friendly staff, great free activities and a range of extra trips available, 4 species of lemur onsite, as well as lots of birds, turtles and baobabs …

We spent a week at the Eden Lodge following a week of rain forest walking and it was wonderful. It is only accessible by boat which makes it tranquil. It is a beautiful location, fantastic sunsets and nothing but the sound of the waves (and the occasional lemur!). |We went snorkelling in the mornings before breakfast and were delighted with the fish and turtles we got to see. The food was lovely, great choice for breakfast and choices of starter, main and desert for lunch and dinner, all of which were excellent, beautifully presented and always a vegetarian choice (which although we are not vegetarians I did have a couple of them). Everything was spotlessly clean and it was all done without any intrusion. We did a couple of trips which were well priced and very well organised. There were 2 water bottles in the room which we could fill up from the restaurant area at any time. There were only 3 other couples there at any time so that added to the quietness, relaxing was very easy! |The staff were second to none. Rouge the manager was lovely, helpful and engaged us every day. William and Rose in the restaurant were delightful and Dan the barman gave us a great selection of rums to try and chatted with us about local life. Sata the tour guide was attentive and reliable, he was great company and like all of the staff friendly and engaging. Everyone was so friendly. It was a lovely week and we were sorry it ended but we would highly recommend it.

This beautiful lodge provided a perfect three days at the end of a long trip around Madagascar. The staff were delightful, food delicious and the lodge very comfortable. The eco credentials of this lodge are exceptional and its links with the local community are very good, not least the fresh fish available.|It was a joy to watch the village children walk along the beach to school and to see the outriggered fishing boats setting out and returning.|The boat ride, the only way to access the lodge means that it is very peaceful apart from some arguing lemurs in the evening.
