Nosy Be

Located in the Mozambique Channel, just 8 km off Madagascar’s northwest coast, Nosy Be spans 320 km² and rises to 450 meters at Mount Lokobe. As one of the region’s top tourist destinations, the island enjoys excellent connectivity - with domestic flights from Antananarivo and direct international routes from Italy, Réunion, Ethiopia, the UAE, Israel, Poland, and more, plus ferry access from the mainland.

Surnommée « Nosy Mantra », l'île aux parfums, pour ses abondantes plantations d'ylang-ylang, Nosy Be est la première destination touristique de Madagascar. Avec sa riche diversité ethnique, l'île allie pêche, agriculture et tourisme, et célèbre son patrimoine à travers des festivals locaux animés.

Ses plages idylliques, comme Andilana et Ambatoloaka, invitent à la voile, à la pêche et à des excursions vers les îlots voisins. Ses récifs coralliens regorgent de vie marine, des tortues de mer aux poissons colorés, en passant par les requins baleines en saison. Sur terre, l'île révèle une faune unique, notamment les lémuriens du parc national de Lokobe. Nosy Be est un véritable paradis où une culture vibrante côtoie une nature luxuriante.

Between turquoise lagoons, living traditions, and tropical serenity, Nosy Be reveals an authentic art of living. From fishing villages to vibrant markets, from outrigger canoe rides to fiery sunsets, every moment awakens unique emotions. Here, Malagasy culture, preserved nature, and warm hospitality meet to create a timeless experience.

Fascene International Airport, Nosy Be’s proud aviation hub, is undergoing a sweeping transformation—poised to become a contemporary gateway defined by elegance, efficiency, and sustainability. Thanks to a €215 million public-private upgrade, the airport has embarked on comprehensive renovations: terminal expansions, runway enhancements, and improved aprons—embedded within a 28-year concession under Ravinala Airports, in partnership with Meridiam and Groupe ADP (Airport of Paris). Already equipped to welcome long-haul aircraft like Airbus A340s and Boeing 777s, Fascene now hosts an expanding array of international carriers. As of 2025, it serves 10+ destinations across seven countries, including direct routes to Europe, Africa, and beyond. Reflecting AHUVI’s commitment to refined living, the airport has also embraced sustainability, with solar canopies now powering its operations. This eco-conscious move reinforces Nosy Be’s vision as a premium island retreat.
