Madagascar lies off the east coast of Africa and is the world’s fourth largest island. The animals, plants and people are unlike anywhere else. This extraordinary country has long remained obscure as a destination and is little known even amongst the most serious of travelers. Nosy be is a smaller island off the North West coast and has become the favorite destination for tourists. Coastal views are spectacular and there are some excellent beaches. The presence of coral reefs means that the sand is white or golden and more often than not a lagoon completes the perfect picture. On the same beach as the villa is a restaurant serving meals all day long. Nearby is the Lokobe Reserve where lemurs, snakes and rare birds unique to Madagascar can be seen
