rare kitesurfing spot inside
The only known destination that combines flatwater inside a protected tropical bay with clean reef waves and kiteboarding between islands — inside a tropical bay as large as Sakalava Bay, almost entirely yours.
Consistent wind, two worlds in one place.
This unique setting makes it a standout destination for kitesurfing in Madagascar, combining performance conditions with complete privacy.
Located in Andovokongo Bay, northern Madagascar, next to Sakalava Bay, one of the top Madagascar kitesurfing spots, Mantasaly offers:
- warm flatwater, ideal for freestyle and freeride;
- clean, regular reef waves, perfect for wave riding
- The only beachfront kitesurfing resort in Madagascar, where riders enjoy direct access to the spot while families experience a luxury beach vacation.
The wind blows steadily side-onshore (~45°), from the southeast, averaging 20–26 knots, with up to 95% reliability during the Madagascar kitesurfing 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:
-
Direct launch from the resort – with ideal onshore wind at 45°
-
Storage space, freshwater showers, shaded rest zone
-
Kitesurfing school, rental equipment, downwind through Sakalava Bay to Mantasaly Turquoise, and kite excursions including the Emerald Sea
These conditions make Mantasaly one of the most reliable destinations for kitesurfing in Madagascar.
