Nosy Be, “the island’s island”
A tropical island of volcanic origin surrounded by an archipelago of other smaller, but all heavenly islands, just eight kilometres from the coast of Madagascar, the fourth largest island in the world
Madagascar is a kaleidoscope of colours that blend gently together: from the deep blue of the endless ocean and the dark green of the tropical forests, to the coral red of the sublime sunsets. Situated to the north west of Madagascar, Nosy Be is a fascinating island rocked by the calm, warm sea of the Channel of Mozambique. Accessible by sea and plane from the small Fascene Airport, it is nestled in the large protected bay of Ampasindava.

Nosy Be, which in Malagasy means “big island”, is also known as the “perfumed island” and is a coveted destination of nature lovers, who can explore the many small islands that surround it, with their beaches formed from shells and coral pulverised by the action of the sea, jagged coastlines and small bays. Between the Archipelagos of Mitsio in the north, and Radama in the south, passing by Nosy Komba and Nosy Sakatia, the islands reveal some wonderful surprises. Sea lovers and sailing enthusiasts find their ideal habitat here among the unspoilt islands that shield Nosy Be like the gems of the valuable jewellery piece.
