"Lagoon View or Forest Side? The choice is yours! We have the ideal formula for your stay, whether you're on your own, a couple, a family or a group. Ask us about all the options available. Simple comfort by European standards and a choice of accommodation in a villa overlooking the lagoon (Lagoon View) or traditional accommodation in a comfortable wooden Vezo hut in the shade of the trees (Forest Side). So that you can make the most of the Kokoa Sands experience, we welcome you to stay for a minimum of 2 nights. We offer a very affordable 3-meal full-board service, giving priority to fresh produce, regional products and seafood. Table d'Hôtes formula where you compose your menu with Perle and Haja our cook. Contact us before you arrive, as you will probably need to hire a 4WD vehicle and driver to get to us, as our access road is superb but also sandy.

We regularly organise tailor-made tours for our customers with the best professionals and in complete safety, departing from Toliara to discover the most beautiful jewels of this part of Madagascar: the Isalo massif, the Ambatomilo lagoon from Ankasy (where Kokoa Sands is based) to Andavadaoka further north.
