Directions Guide

Dzaoudzi Pamandzi International Airport lies on Petite Terre, about twelve kilometres from the lodge as the crow flies, but separated by the sea. The crossing uses the barge, called l'amphidrome, from Mamoudzou to Dzaoudzi, which takes around fifteen to twenty minutes, plus waiting time.

Flights connect Mayotte mainly with Réunion, Paris, Madagascar and the Comoros. Schedules are limited and can change, so booking early and confirming flights is important.

On Grande Terre, renting a car is almost indispensable. Taxis exist but are rare outside Mamoudzou, and shared taxis follow fixed routes. The lodge offers car rental and paid shuttle services.

Roads connect all villages of the island, but traffic around Mamoudzou is heavy during rush hours. Journeys that take twenty minutes in the evening can take an hour in the morning.

For lagoon excursions, boat operators leave from Mamoudzou, Sada, Boueni and other ports. Many include lunch on a sandbank or a small island.
