If you look on a map of Madagascar, you'll see a glorious expanse of nothingness along the indented coastline between Mahajanga and Nosy Be.
This is where three entrepreneurs have established fly-in Resorts which come as close to perfection as you could hope for.
Lodge des Terres Blanches (www.lodgeterresblanches.com)
About 100 km from Mahajanga and 25 km south of Anjajavy, this lodge really does qualify for the cliché "best kept secret" (at least from English-speaking tourists) since it sees far fewer visitors than Anjajavy or Marovasa Be and no tour group.
Access is by light aircraft or boat.
There is quite simple, but comfortable accomodation in six double bungalows next to a gorgeous white beach fringed with forest.
Compared with the luxury lodges this is a simple, do-it-yourself resort.
Guests eat together in the lodge, and there is a bar with fridge for guests to help themselves.
Electricity is by generator.
If you want to go on a longer hike, or to be dropped off in a cove somewhere for the day, picnics can be arranged.
This is a popular resort for sport-fishermen, and the two boats are largely used for fishing trips.
However, you can arrange to be taken to some beautiful coves along the coast, or to baobab-arrayed islands, or to an area of tsingy.
