'''Antalavia is located in a protected bay on the western side of Masoala Peninsula, directly at the [[Antongil Bay]] in the northeast of Madagascar. There is no real village, only a few basic fishermen huts and a very nice eco lodge along a wonderful beach.'''
The mouth of the nearby Antalavia River is the natural border to the [[Masoala National Park]]. The river flows through the beach into the sea. Paddling up the river leads to cascades with little, refreshing cool swimming pools.
In October 2015, the newly built lodge was completely empty. The spacious bungalows and restaurant building are situated in a pine forest. The price for accommodation starts at 150,000 Ariary (2015).
Whilst sitting on the beach in the early evening, one can enjoy a beautiful sunset to the monotonous sound of the waves. With a bit of luck, one can spot an [[Aye-aye]] in the night or at least hear its calling. Throughout the day, one can see brown lemurs, endemic birds, geckos and chameleons.
