Andilana: the bay, the beach and the heights
This picturesque village of Nosy Be is home to the ecolodge Le Grand Bleu. From the hotel you have a breathtaking view of the bay. During a walk, you can climb to Mount Andilana. At only 104 m above sea level, you can have a 360 view of the ocean and the surrounding islands. These include the Mitsio archipelago, Grande Terre, the Baobab peninsula and Sakatia Island. You can also admire the beauty of the wilderness. The whole landscape is adorned with these beautiful villas erected in height. Among these buildings are restaurants ready to offer you the best of their specialties. At Le Turquoise restaurant, for example, try the "hena ritry", a kind of beef bourgignon concocted with Malagasy.
From Mount Andilana you will have the opportunity to contemplate the sunset. When the season comes, tourists like to observe, binoculars in hand, the jumping and antics of whales.
If you wake up early in the morning, go to the terrace of the hotel Le Grand Bleu. You will have the pleasure of witnessing from afar the comings and goings of boats on the bay of the peninsula. Indeed, it is the place of departure for those who want to start a crossing to the Bay of Russians or towards the Bay of Ampasindava. Who knows? You too can try the adventure one of these days! A crossing from island to island would only do you good!
