Hotel Ecolodge Riake Resort & Villa - A beachfront resort with thatched bungalows, sea views, and a private beach area
Hotel Ecolodge Riake Resort & Villa is a 2-star beachfront property on Sainte Marie Island, offering a private beach area and a restaurant. The thatched bungalows and villas feature terraces with sea views, simply decorated with wooden furnishings and local architecture. Each bed is draped with a mosquito net, and units include a desk and safety deposit box. The restaurant serves local Malagasy cuisine, seafood, and French and Italian-inspired dishes, with the option for meals on the beach. Drinks are available at the Riake Café. The resort provides a 24-hour front desk, a games room, and a tour desk. On-site activities include hiking, snorkelling, darts, evening entertainment, and live music. A continental breakfast is available each morning at Hotel Ecolodge Riake Resort & Villa. The property also offers a spa and wellness centre with massage and spa packages, a children's playground, and a private beach area. Airport shuttles from Antananarivo (1-hour flight) and Tamatave (30-minute flight) can be arranged for a surcharge.
Pros
The resort is located on a private stretch of white sandy beach with direct sea views from the bungalows.
Guests can enjoy a variety of on-site activities, including snorkelling, hiking, quad bike excursions, and evening entertainment.
The restaurant serves fresh, locally inspired cuisine with options for beachside dining.
Staff are noted for attentive service, including personalized touches like babysitting and tailored meal requests.
Cons
The resort is remote, requiring over an hour drive from the island airport.
The ocean surf in front of the resort is too rough for swimming.
“The service here truly stands out, with staff anticipating needs to ensure a thoroughly relaxing holiday on an exceptional, untouched beach. The excursion to the natural ocean pool was a remarkable experience, complemented by fresh, flavorful meals, though some kitchen details could see refinement. It's a place where comfort and a well-organized environment allow for genuine enjoyment.”
