“BLUE”
THE ENCHANTING NORTH

The North West, from Diégo Suarez to Baie de Baly accounts for the most beautiful sites in Madagascar.  Pristine beaches, creeks, and rocky shores stand along an islets-dotted sea.  The hinterland, combining a magnificent marine environment with a remarkably interesting coastal one, symbolises the uniqueness of the Big Island.

Located off the northwest coast of Madagascar, Nosy Be is the largest island of the archipelago of the same name. The archipelago is considered to have some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The exotic island is the location of a lot of luxury hotels, gourmet restaurants, nightclubs and shops – but it has maintained the most important: the natural harmony and the quiet atmosphere. The rare black lemurs and the chameleon live on its territory. World-famous diving spots await the divers on Nosy Be Island. In addition to hundreds of exotic sea-dwellers, one can see the ruined old ships in coastal waters.

The Antongil Bay and the SAVA regions are biodiversity-rich with a lot of their history written by pirates.  It is also believed that it was one of the very first places of human settlements in Madagascar.  Could this be the reason why in each Malagasy house the North Eastern corner is considered the ancestors’ corner?
