Nosy Be Lodges | Places to Stay in Nosy Be

May 15, 2023 Kelli Reichel

“Nosy Be?” Is that a typo for “Noisy Bee?” Nope. It means “big island” and it is just that; a large island off the northwest coast of Madagascar. Here you’ll find volcanic lakes, lazy lemurs, rum distilleries, Ylang Ylang plantations and intricate coral reefs that are practically begging to be explored. Flora and fauna lovers will be in seventh heaven at the beautiful Lokobe Nature Special Reserve. Audiophiles should visit in May, to experience the four-day Donia Music Festival.

Dans cette ambiance intimiste que représentent nos 7 bungalows, vous bénéficierez de tous les services hôteliers sans oublier le sourire et les conseils de notre équipe pour rendre votre séjour agréable.

Terrible manager, don’t recommend

Reviewed By Sally R

The hotel it’s self is clean, the food is fine ( very boring menu and breakfast over priced but fine) and the bathrooms are lovely. The Malagasy staff who work there are also lovely especially Deno. The issue lies entirely with Eric the manager who is obnoxious, unwelcoming and inhospitable, and honestly that’s the nicest way to say it. We had noticed the fan in our room wasn’t working - this is advertised as air conditioning and is shocking even when it does work. We mentioned this to one of the staff before going out for the evening hoping it could be fixed. When we got back we asked if someone could come with us to look at the fan. Eric then decided to berated us saying it was far too late (8pm) to be raising problems, we were being extremely difficult and we can’t expect anything to be done if we refuse to speak French ( which is untrue we said the fan was broken in french ). He then proceeded to bring the person we had told the fan was broken into our room almost as if to prove we hadn’t asked. It was a horrible experience, he was extremely threatening and rude and racist towards the boy who we had asked to look at the fan. I highly recommend not staying here. There are loads of other lovely places to stay on the island and everyone else has been great.

Emeraude Lodge

Close to Paradise

Reviewed By Phileas53

Very close to Paradise I was at Emeraude Lodge on May 2022 an I spent one of my best Holidays at all. Quite place, confortable and very good quality/price ratio. Beautiful location. Vincenzo is an excellent host and staff is well trained and always kind and attentive. I could rest at the brand new swimming pool by the sea and my confortable room Baobab was in front of the beach. You can swim from early in the morning in the beautiful Bay and during the day I had nice walks around, and interesting excursions snorkeling in the green tortues Sanctuary not very far from the resort. They have a good organization for diving and snorkeling. I suggest to stay at dinner in the good restaurant with the malgash cook Hervé and the kind barman and waiter Edes. I will never forget this marvelous Holiday!

Les Chalets de Melinda

Like at home

Reviewed By JoseB3287

We made a reservation for just one night and at the end we said we would stay the rest of our vacations in this wonderful place for about 15 days. Les Chalets de Melinda, 5 min. From the beach, a place surrounded by fruit trees (which you can simply enjoy at breakfast) of wonderful nature, each chalet has a fully equipped kitchen, private bathroom, mosquito net, fan in bed, peace and tranquility. Tata, the captain and Melinda, are the family in charge of this jewel of Nosy Be and they make your stay with them a close and pleasant family. While each cake has its icing, it has at least two.  Awesome sunsets And a small pool where you can relax after your excursions or a simple day at the beach. Do not hesitate to spend your family holidays, help your economy and it's a good price for your portfolio. Unbeatable price quality. Thanks family. Jose and Paola

Vanio Lodge

A relaxed b&b on the beach, surronded by a tropical garden! Wake up to the sound of the waves and dive into the clear waters of madagascar! Enjoy listening to the sole sounds of nature but make sure to take a (10 min) walk down the beachto the liveliest part of the island!

Beautiful garden on the beach

Reviewed By Andrea S

I stayed there last june and loved the friendly atmosphere. Franco, the incredibly enterteining owner, invited us to have dinner with him numerous times and also drove us around and gave us lots of sugestions on what to do and where to go. The structure is very clean and minimal and really suits the tropical background. Nothing reads vacation and relax to me like waking up to the sounds of the sea and having breakfast on the beach seconds before diving in. Can't wait to leave the city life behind and go back!

Amazing Experience

Reviewed By 570thaliah

We recently were lucky enough to spend time at Sakatia Lodge.... and what an awesome experience. From the time of arrival on the beach and the warm welcome from Isabelle and the staff, the entire stay was exceptional. Isabell,Jose and the entire team made our stay memorable. The accommodation was spotless and beautifully decorated, the dining and bar area really welcoming. Isabelle prepared one of the most amazing creations of crayfish, langoustines and prawns I have ever experienced and Jose entertained us with hilarious stories. Can’t wait to return.

Beautiful Beach Home with Beautiful, Kind and Generous Hosts

Reviewed By Derick V

Chantal & Christian are gracious and kind hosts...Chantal is an incredible cook (chef) and many highlights of our stay was her ability to serve delicious meals with a graciousness and humor surpassing the best Nosy Be has to offer... Attention to detail...comfort...rustic luxury and long sunset sundowners overlooking the beach and the lovely Sakatia Island...added to a most enjoyable, quite and relaxing stay. We arrived to hospitality and the company of strangers and left with fond memories and new lovely friends... Well located for adventure and things to do...boat trips...quad trips...walks...island hopping and entertainment are just minutes walks away. We will indeed be back!

Naturalia Lodge

GARDEN OF PARADISE

Reviewed By coachman11

We ended our vacation in Madagascar with an 11 day stay at "Naturalia Lodge", a remote resort accessible only by boat. It turned out to be the perfect way to finish a wonderful vacation. The resort is set up on 14 kilometers of white sandy beach off of which there are 9 bungalows.The owners Loic and Valerie were very gracious. and attended to our every need. Loic is a professional fishing guide and he took me fishing on 3 occasions.I t was exciting catching fish native only to Madagascar! The food was very good with fresh fish being part of our menu every day. We had a very peaceful and relaxing vacation.Elena and I would highly recommend "Naturalia Lodge".
