The "Villa Belvedere" is placed between sea and garden. The architecture, very original, shows here also all the attention paid to the environment. Its situation, in the immediate vicinity of the beach, makes that the villa is perfectly adapted the stays in family or between friends, or in love. The rooms and bungalows are spread over two levels and can accommodate up to 30 people in total. A vast central space, open on the horizon, takes the place of living room or games room but it is also the ideal place to admire the flamboyant sunsets.

Starting from the harbour and after some 26 kms through rustic and busy villages, the main road of Nosy Be reaches its final destination at Andilana Bay, located at the northeast part of the island. If arriving by plane, there’s an alternative 30-minute route that leads directly from Facsène Airport to Andilana, providing breathtaking panoramas and avoiding the bustling principle city of Hellville.

Andilana Bay is a charming and peaceful corner of the island, cherished by its inhabitants who strive to preserve its original characteristics. Throughout the year, visitors find serenity and beauty here. During some summer nights, sea turtles come to lay their eggs right on the beach. Each day is filled with sites of fishermen on their tiny boats, women dragging their fishing nets all along the shore or picking up seashells at low tide and also lively ladies selling souvenirs. The sea is turquoise boardered by white sand, while coconut and badamera trees offer soothing freshness during the hottest hours of the day.

For several years, a nursery has been set up to help the mothers of the neighborhood: it welcomes a dozen children, half of whom are enrolled in school with the support of the association 2a2m. Guests with small children can leave them for a few hours if they wish.
