Bakuba Lodge

Toliara

It’s difficult to explain Bakuba. It’s almost as if Gaudí met an oriental art connoisseur from Africa – and together they built a lodge in the dunes close to the town of Toliara. It’s quite simply a completely unique and very special place.

From the outside, the lodge looks like something you would expect to find in Barcelona. Gaudí’s soft, organic shapes have clearly inspired the architect.

Inside, you can clearly feel the influence of the African continent. Brown colours, wood and stone dominate, but in a luxurious and tasteful way. Everything is beautifully decorated, and it almost feels as if you’re visiting a private art collector.

There are only six rooms, so you have to book well in advance if you want to stay here. The rooms are all individually decorated, each with their own charm – but in the same style. Expect to be surprised by the rooms – Bakuba is not a classic lodge!

From the pool, you can glimpse the sea and Madagascar’s own table mountain, which is as flat as a pancake. Above the lobby is a lounge area which invites you to relax on the sofa, read a good book and enjoy the beautiful view.

The beach is only a few minutes away on foot, but there are mangroves in the area, so the sea here is not suitable for swimming.

You should be aware that the lodge runs on its own solar energy, so the sockets are primarily for charging a mobile – not for using a hairdryer.
