An island that will give you that all in one experience. Where luxury meets local tradition & culture. From resorts, villas & hotels to the heart of Malagasy villages, pubs, clubs & “gargotes”

The drive from the airport is one of immaculate scenery, smell and sound. Ylang-ylang, cocoa, vanilla and pepper lingers in the air. The song of birds, cicadas and on some occasions you’ll hear families of lemurs off in the distance.  You’re surrounded by the view of the valley, the ocean and all shades of forest green.

This drive is fleeting yet memorable.

And then.. you’re met by civilization, the true “city life” of Nosy Be. Goats, chickens and Zebu (Humped Ox) roam the streets without a care in the world. Tuk-Tuks (or Bajajis as the locals call them) flying by in all directions and cafes, boutiques and side-stalls as far as the eye can see.

NOW THAT IS WHAT WE CALL CITY LIFE.

As the main island around here, it truly does have something for everyone.
