The Anjajavy Resort, Madagascar
7 days drive from the nearest civilisation, it is hard to believe such luxury is possible. The resort is run by South African team Carlton & Wendy, who run a tight, friendly ship and go out of their way to ensure each guest has a fantastic and memorable stay. The resort’s Malagasy staff are also incredibly welcoming and extremely talented, doubling up their regular day duties as site chef, gardener, waiter, maid etc. to perform spellbinding traditional song and dance spectaculars in the evenings. If you go to this resort go for a surreal afternoon tea with the wild lemurs, visit the 2000 year old baobab and go deep sea fishing, you'll never catch fish like it again in your lifetime. Oh, and of course I forgot to mention, the whole resort is genuinely magical.
