Pure island bliss off Madagascar's coast

Between pristine rainforest and mysterious crater lakes, palm-fringed sandy beaches and historic colonial charm, Madagascar's Nosy Be promises individual vacation dreams.

Around ten kilometers separate the inhabited volcanic island from the northwest coast of Madagascar. Surrounded by several small islands, this place of longing, literally referred to as the "big island", invites you to go island hopping.

Extensive plantations exude the seductive scent of ylang-ylang, vanilla, cocoa and coffee. Endemic plant and animal species such as lemurs and orchids feel equally at home on the famous perfume island. Diving or trekking, swimming fun or sightseeing: discover Madagascar's prime destination for a paradisiacal island break with Nosy Be.
