Best beach in the area for swimming and walking, very beautiful and pristine, nearly no people. I believe this is one of the rare pristine spots left where you can feel the luxury of amazing nature, views and tropical paradise feeling. The hotel concept is making guest feel like at home, with accommodation and cuisine of high quality and very relaxing vibe. Everything is created and arranged and run the way I felt super comfortable and really resting. Amazing sunsets and beach views, very beautiful and clean sea, finest sand without stones or sea urchins. Jean-Michel and Perle the owners surround guests with enough and gentle care, the cooking team makes very nice lunches and dinner, where you can pre-order from choice of two dishes. Breakfast is nice as well, and you can always choose what would you like to have. In 4 days stay every meal was super delicious and interesting, with local and Malagasy cooking mixed in chefs creation. First day we stayed in Forest side house that is very clean and authentic, later we moved to Beachfront Villa that is pretty luxury with large bedroom, bathroom and terrace overlooking the sea. An extra discovery was visiting the spiny forest reserve that is being taken care of by Kokoa Sands, with Baobab trees and other plants growing in their original state - I would recommend this to everyone.
For the evening or day, you can always order nice cocktails with natural tropical fruits, and the wine selection is great.

Le lieu est superbe : sauvage, isolé, préservé. La plage de sable fin fait 2 km de long et il y a très peu de monde, donnant sur un lagon turquoise. Perle et Jean-Michel sont aux petits soins : la cuisine est locale et bonne. La villa est grande, adaptée aux 4 familles que nous étions (dont 5 enfants et 2 de moins de 3 ans). Les services sont à la hauteur de la guest house : baleines, paddles, snorkelling, massages…
La convivialité de Jean-Michel et ses rhums arrangés ont achevé de nous conquérir. Encore merci!

Nous y reviendrons avec grand plaisir à Kokoa Sands. L’équipe, l’endroit, les repas, les activités… nous serions bien restés quelques jours de plus 🙂

Kokoa Sands is by the Ankasy beach! The owners are very accommodating, friendly and always willing to help. The food was delicious, made with care. They even make their own sorbet ice cream. Kokoa Sands is a wonderful family business that will make every possible way to make your holidays as enjoyable as they can! It was very much appreciated that they cared for me when I got a bit of cold/ sore throat.


What touched me that most is that the owners (this lovely couple) support their local community by providing a teacher for a month to the local village since the children have very limited opportunities for education. I was also informed that they provide rice to locals when there times of starvation. Last but not least, they protect their local Baobab park.

In terms of entertainment, I did snokerlling and I visited the Fasika Be! I loved both activities! I wish I could stay for longer. I would definitely recommend Kokoa Sands to anyone.
