My favorite moment at Anjajavy was concluding a 20-minute walk with the discovery of a private, empty stretch of beach, with beautifully eroded rocks at either end. I was privileged to have a direct view of the setting sun over the Mozambique Channel.
Located on an isolated peninsula on the remote northwest coast of Madagascar, Anjajavy is a 4-star eco-retreat and the only Relais & Chateaux property in the country. Access is by private airline, enhancing the sense of exclusivity and giving a spectacular view of the teal-colored waters of the Mozambique Channel and lush environs.
Baobabs and Sea
The 25 thatched, rosewood, air-conditioned villas are each perched along the boardwalk framing a pristine private coast that is bookended by monumental rocky outcrops. Set in over 1,000 acres of reserved forest, the grounds are beautifully manicured and teeming with brightly colored birds, statuesque palms and an inviting, blue swimming pool.
Activities abound at Anjajavy – enjoy waterskiing, nature walks, private beach sunsets, boating and observe Coquerel’s sifaka, Brown lemurs, “hairy” crabs, ancient baobabs and an amazing assortment of birds, reptiles and more. There is a village market on Sunday mornings, caves to explore and a number of private picnic locales. And while this is not really a “beach” destination, the truly adventurous can still swim, play tic-tac-toe in the brown and black sand and do a number of other water sports on offer, then retreat to the elegance of polished wood and superior service.
And when you hike down the path to see the sunset on a secluded beach, don't forget the Champagne.
