Ile Sainte Marie (Nosy Boraha), a 57 km-long island off Madagascar's east coast, is an authentic tropical island with lush vegetation interspersed with many small villages. This island is beautiful, offering the ultimate escape from civilisation. The hotels along its coast range from basic to classy establishments with all necessary modern facilities. The lush surroundings bring to mind images of an enormous tropical garden. It's ideal for honeymoon couples or anybody with a romantic bent. Sainte Marie boasts numerous stunningly beautiful beaches and secluded coves, fringed with coconut palms. The coral reefs offshore offer excellent snorkelling and scuba diving. In August and September, hump-backed whales spend time just off-shore here.The roads beckon mountain bikers and most hotels offer bicycles and snorkelling gear for hire.
