Tao Resort - A kitesurfing lodge in Anjiabe near Babaomby with sea- or garden-view rooms, bungalow terraces, a restaurant, and free private parking
At Tao Resort, a lodge in Anjiabe near Babaomby and Mer d'Emeraude, a 10/10 Booking.com score reflects a kitesurfing spot directly in front, views across the resort, and a family-like welcome from staff led by Patrick and Sevana. Family rooms include private bathrooms, ground-floor units, and sea or garden views; bungalows have spacious, clean interiors and terraces, with showers and wardrobes in every room. Guests may encounter small animals because the property is surrounded by nature. The on-site restaurant serves a buffet breakfast, and a bar, garden, terrace, free private parking, internet access, pets allowed, and non-smoking rooms are available. Reviewers describe the food at Tao Resort as outstanding and the team as always friendly and helpful. Tao Resort has no cars around, with only occasional traditional boats passing in front of the property. Behind the lodge is a small village, and Andavakonko is 200 km away. A guest who spent 12 days kitesurfing recommended a downwinder to La Piscine.
Pros
Low tide offers the best kitesurfing conditions, and the spot remains kiteable throughout the day.
The water area spans roughly 1x3 km, and during a 12-day stay there were never more than five kiters.
The chef designed a custom menu for a 20-person wedding reception, and the grilled fish was repeatedly praised.
Lemurs were spotted in the village behind the hotel.
“The kitchen facilities here are remarkably clean and well-equipped, a standout detail in Madagascar. Guests consistently highlight the exceptional care from the staff, who seem to foster a genuine sense of community. Views across the property are quite something, and the kitesurfing conditions are truly excellent.”
