The lodge occupies the Anjajavy peninsula within the Anjajavy Protected Area, a conservation priority designated by the World Wildlife Fund. It is situated on a sandy beach facing the Mozambique Channel in Madagascar's west coast. The site provides access to distinctive tsingy rock formations (coral remains sculpted by erosion), paleontological caves, deserted creeks, and nearby fishing villages.
The landscaped garden was designed by architect Camille Muller and contains rare local species including lemurs, chameleons, tortoises, hummingbirds, cocoa, vanilla, ylang-ylang, papyrus, and carnivorous plants. Guided tours of nearby villages are arranged to experience local lifestyles and customs directly with residents.
The hotel comprises 24 private villas, each 23 sqm with a patio and sea view. Guests choose between Seaview Villas and Exclusive Villas. Both types accommodate single or double occupancy with a queen bed, or larger groups with a queen bed plus two twin beds. Villas are dispersed throughout the landscaped garden to minimize visual impact on the reserve.
The hotel restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner as part of the all-inclusive package. Early dinner service and a children's menu are available for families. The chef offers individual cooking classes to interested guests.
Land-based activities include hiking, mountain biking, self-guided forest walks, fishing, billiards, and visits to paleontological caves. Water-based options include kayaking, canoeing, water skiing, trolling fishing, and nautical excursions. Massages and romantic picnics are also available.
The lodge arranges guided nature expeditions with expert guides to observe wildlife in its habitat, and visits to community development projects within the protected area. All activities are designed to support low-impact tourism principles.
The all-inclusive format appeals to families, who have access to baby-sitting services, family suites, and early dining options. Nature-focused travelers and couples interested in wildlife observation, hiking, and low-impact cultural exchange with local communities also find the property well suited to their needs.
