Enjoy the Malagasy Dolce Vita in Nosy Saba

 
Located in the UNESCO marine biosphere reserve of Sahamalaza, about 100 km south of Nosy Be, accessible by boat and private plane, is Nosy Saba which means "Life is sweet". This 130 hectare island naturally offers everything that nature and sea lovers can expect.
 
Nosy Saba is a stop off location for men, especially for fishermen in canoes, surprised by the night or the wind, but also for green turtles who frequent the beaches to reproduce safely. The permanent inhabitants are lemurs, birds and chameleons as well as dolphins and whales who come regularly to welcome at sea.
 
The island has 2 types of coral reefs, 3 types of ecosystems, and a large expanse of seagrass beds under investigation for the existence of DUGONG: an endangered marine mammal.
 
Nosy Saba is covered with 10 hectares of primary forest that contains rare and endemic species: lemurs,
very large fruit bats, geckos, wild parakeets ... Trees intermingled with vines, huge tree ferns, lush vegetation make this place a magical place.
 
The landscape of the island is composed of small valleys and large hills that one can discover, at the turn of the winding paths, very varied landscapes. At the highest peak is the "Hazomanga" legendary place of Nosy Saba from which one enjoys a breathtaking view.
 
Nosy Saba is distinguished by space, authenticity, calm and communion with nature. This is the luxury of a private island in a region that remains one of the secret jewels of our planet.
