Fodor's Expert Review Antsanitia Resort

A stunning beach, amazing food, and a social conscience make this off-the-beaten path resort worth seeking out. The eco-tourism experience mainly employs residents of the neighboring village of Antsanitia and the local Sakalava tribe—mostly fishers and farmers—have a say in the complex’s programs. You can stroll the village with a local, join one for a fishing trip, or learn about medicinal plants from another. Rooms, bungalows, suites, and villas are airy and quiet with lovely redwood furnishings. The restaurant serves organic food for every meal.
