INFO

The 12 bungalows, built by wood and stone, are in perfect harmony with the gardens of La Crique and offer all the comfort necessary for a relaxing stay. There is a shower with warm water and private bathroom facilities, terrace and a fan. All bungalows are situated a few meters away from the sea.

Located in front of the ocean, the restaurant offers different menus every day.
The typical dishes are created from natural and delicious products which have pleased the guests for more than thirty years such as the oysters freshly caught off the cliffs of La Crique, the lobsters, the crabs, the shrimps, and the fish.
To complement the dishes, a selection of arranged rums, punch coco, local or foreign wines and natural juices are also available.

LOCATION

La Crique is a small rustic hotel situated on the west coast of Ile Sainte Marie (one hour’s drive north of the airport)

ACTIVITIES

To enjoy the beauty of La Crique and to discover various endemic coral fish, you can use the local pirogue, masks, fins and snorkels.

You can also enjoy a game of table-tennis, bocce ball, or volleyball.

Motorcycles, motor scooters, bicycles and professional guides are available to hire from the hotel for your “self drive” excursions.

In the north, you will be welcomed in La Cocoteraie, where you will enjoy the tasty and delicious specialties by Grandma Robert, in an idyllic atmosphere. Also in the north, you will find the wild coast of the island and its majestic waves plus you can relax in the natural swimming pool for a regenerative bath.

The east coast, famous for its magnificent bay of Ampanihy and its peninsula, is only accessible by crossing the mangrove swamp in a local style pirogue. There you will enjoy the easy and quiet lifestyle of the island.

In the south, you will find Ile aux Nattes, a small island of beaches lined with coconut palm trees surrounded by crystal blue water. It will amaze and leave you feeling relaxed.

From June to the end of September, a team of professionals will take you to share unforgettable moments with the whales who come to the island to breed or give birth.

For scuba diving fans, the scuba diving centre, Il Balenottero, is located in the main town and is available for the guests. Bookings are done at Le Crique.

PACKAGES

True Blue suggest a minimum of 6 nights on the island. You will most probably have to spend a night in Tana due to the flight schedule. If you do have time on your hands, combine this trip with a stay on the island of Ile aux Nattes.

Le Crique is the best value for money option on the island and we have sent many guests who have always come back with positive reviews.
