Madagascar

Madagascar is a huge island and country located off the southeast coast of Africa. It is home to thousands of endemic animal species such as lemurs,
as well as tropical forests, beaches and reefs.
Near the bustling capital, Antananarivo, is the Ambohimanga Hill, a collection of royal palaces and cemeteries, and the Avenue des Baobabs, a dirt road lined with giant, centuries-old trees.

Madirokely Beach

Madirokely/Ambatoloaka Beach is the most famous of Nosy Be. It covers the most beautiful bay and extends over one kilometer to the bustling village of Ambatoloaka, known for its typical bars and restaurants. Away from this friendly bustle, at the end of beach, l’Heure Bleue has a unique and privileged position,
with a stunning view overlooking the bay, and a beach with beachbeds and sun umbrellas.

On week end, Madirokely’s beach is also the meeting and bathing place for the people of Nosy Be, making it a very lively place then in the afternoon and evening. The “l’Heure Bleue’s Sunday” are also known for their succulent grilled dishes, which are served around our two swimming pools.
