rare kitesurfing spot inside

The only known destination that combines flatwater inside a protected tropical bay with clean reef waves — in a natural, private setting free from crowds.

Consistent wind, two worlds in one place. Located in Andovokongo Bay, northern Madagascar, Mantasaly offers:

  • warm flatwater, ideal for freestyle and freeride;
  • clean, regular reef waves, perfect for wave riding
The wind blows steadily side-onshore (~45°), from the southeast, averaging 20–26 knots, with up to 95% reliability in season.
The water stays warm year-round (26–28°C), and the spot is completely free of dangerous currents, crowds, vendors, or noise.

Integrated infrastructure and real comfort:

  • tick icon Direct launch from the resort – with ideal onshore wind at 45°
  • tick icon Storage space, freshwater showers, shaded rest zone
  • tick icon Kitesurfing school, rental equipment, downwind, and kite excursions
