Famata Lodge
Famata Lodge is a family-run eco-lodge on the southwestern coast of Madagascar around 19km from the city of Toliara, the capital city of the Atsimo-Andrefana region. Built entirely out of materials found on-site; dead trees, sand and stones from the beach, stone powder from Mahafaly limestone, locally made bricks sourced from the clay water table and thatched roofing. The furniture in the bungalows was handcrafted by local craftsmen, and all of the electricity used in the lodge is generated by solar power.
The individually appointed bungalows are integrated into the natural environment, offering breathtaking views over the sea, forest and sky from their private terraces or verandas, Famata Lodge is a naturalist paradise. With an incredible diversity of flora and fauna, the surrounding environment is also home to many species of bird, including flamingos and Humblot’s herons.
