IT06-H-Madagascar Nosy Be: Sakatia Lodge *** (on Sakatia Island)

Nosy Sakatia is the second largest of the islands within the immediate vicinity of Nosy Be. There are no roads, cars or bicycles on this island - a small natures paradise with the typical unspoilt tropical fauna and flora of this area. Sakatia Lodge is situated on the east side of the island in a protected bay. It is run by a wonderful couple, Jose and Isabelle, who have a natural flair for good food and making one feel pampered. The lodge consists of eight brick and thatched bungalows with en suite bathrooms. Four of these bungalows are ocean facing and are larger than the rest with hot and cold water showers. The other four garden bungalows are smaller with cold water showers only and cater for the more budget conscious traveller. There is also one room suitable for the elderly or guests in wheelchairs with easy access from the beach. No air-conditioning but all the rooms have fans. The Lodge also offers a beautiful lounge/bar area and separate restaurant all overlooking the ocean and fringed by the sacred forest of Sakatia.

Sakatia Lodge has its very own NAUI approved dive centre, affiliated to DAN SA, and caters for beginners and advanced divers. The numerous dive sites around Sakatia vary in depth from six meters to fifty meters, consisting of walls, drops, coral reefs, sand and pinnacles. During boat rides, encounters with dolphins and whales are not uncommon. The lodge offers superb diving and snorkelling, fishing, canoeing, scenic walks, quad biking, and birding. It is suited to families, couples, divers and honeymooners.
