Nosy Be Madagascar
Along the northwest coast of Madagascar there are several islands, the
largest of which is Nosy Be. A tropical island that stands out from a
large coral shelf in the Mozambique Canal, Nosy Be is surrounded by several
exquisite islands nearby, including Nosy Komba, Nosy Tanikely, Nosy Sakatia
and Nosy Mitsio. Nosy Be offers excellent fishing and diving opportunities,
as well as a natural lemur reserve, restaurants and a resort-style atmosphere.
Nosy Be is both a starting point for boat charters, excursions on the
sea and the ultimate tropical island escape for a relaxing vacation. On
the way from Fascene Airport you will understand why Nosy Be is called
the Scented Island (Nosy Manitra) or "Perfume Island". An intoxicating
mix envelops you: the perfume of the Ylang Ylang flower, coffee, pepper,
vanilla, cinnamon, saffron and sugar cane. You'll find all these delicious
spices in the ‘bazaar’ and the boutiques in Hell Ville, the
chief town in Nosy Be. Other highlights include the harbour with its dugout
canoes, and close by, the Ylang Ylang distillery, the CNRO (National Centre
for Oceanographic Research) and the Maritime Museum are well worth a visit.
Diving Nosy Be
North of Nosy Be is the Archipelago of the Mitsio and to its south the
Archipelago of the Radama. In its immediate surroundings, Nosy Sakatia,
Nosy Tanikely, Nosy Iranja and Nosy Fahinihi offer excellent diving.
The "Perfume Island" offers a large variety of local marine
life: soft and hard coral, groupers, turtles, mantas, whale sharks, barracuda
- for the beginner and advanced diver alike. For more information on diving,

On entering this hotel through the verdant
garden at the foot of the cliff that marks the end of Ambatolaka
beach, you feel as though you've been welcomed into an exclusive
family home, whose hidden charms add to the magic of the place.
The restaurant is open for breakfast only, but a bar is open

service is on offer. This hotel provides special attention
to kids, and both the large garden and the portion of beach
