Laid back in Madagascar

Q: My wife and I would like to holiday in Nosy Be, Madagascar, in Sept/Oct. We are really after a relaxing, wind down, laid back type of a holiday. We would prefer unpretentious, good value for money accommodation. - John Bennett.
A; There is a wide range of accommodation options on Nosy Be. If you want a real "getaway" resort, then check out the Sakatia Lodge. It is located on the little island of Nosy Sakatia, situated 2km off the north western side of Nosy Be Island. The lodge, which has four large bungalows en suite, offers deserted white sand beaches, turquoise water and a coral reef for snorkelling and diving. The island, which has no roads, is only 6.5kms long and 2km wide. Other resorts you could try are the 11-room L'heure Bleue Bungalow Hotel, the 12-room Sakatia Passions resort and the six-room Nosy Lodge. Your best bet is to book a package that includes international and domestic flights, accommodation, a night in Antanarivo and airport transfers. The cost of seven-night packages start at around R9000 including all flights and taxes. You can book packages through Selftour Holidays (www.selftourafrica.co.za), Exotic Vacations (www.exoticvacations.co.za) or Africa Trails (www.africatrails.co.za).
