Turquoise lagoon of Nosy Be
Island

Nosy Be, the perfume island

The most touristy of the Malagasy islands, yet always endearing: white-sand beaches, ylang-ylang plantations, Nosy Tanikely marine reserve and Nosy Komba lemur sanctuary.

Nosy Be is served by an international airport and lends itself well to a beach stay at the end of a tour, or combined with Ankarana and Diego-Suarez.
