Nosy Be
Nosy Be, also known as Nossi-Bé, is a small island located about 5 miles (8 kilometers) off Madagascar's northwest coast. The moniker "Big Island" refers to the size of the island. It's 19 miles (30 kilometers) long, 12 miles (19 kilometers) wide, and covers around 120 square miles (310 square km). The island was formed by volcanoes and is forested, with several craters and crater lakes. Mount Passot is its highest point (1,079 feet). Rum, vanilla, black pepper, and bitter oranges are among the island's products, which include sugar and oils for perfumery. Hell-Ville, a resort and port for international ships and trade along Madagascar's west coast, is the main town in the south.
There is an airfield at Fascène that is 7 miles (12 kilometers) away. Since 1896, the island has been a part of Madagascar. Nosy Be is becoming Madagascar's most developed tourism resort. This is the only spot in Madagascar where you can find major all-inclusive resorts.
