Ile aux Nattes
Ile aux Nattes (Nosy Nato) is a small island located south of Ile Sainte Marie (Nosy Boroha) off the east coast of Madagascar. This car-free idyllic beach paradise can be easily reached by pirogue, leaving from the beach southwest of the airport runway on Ile Sainte Marie. The transfer is inexpensive and does not take very long.
Ile aux Nattes has many sandy beaches, with the best beeing at the north of the island. An eight kilometres walk around the island takes about three hours at low tide. Tiny villages and an amazing flora can be discovered during the walk. Ile aux Nattes is well known for its l'orchidee rose - a two metres tall orchid with pink flowers.
Accommodation on Ile aux Nattes
In February 2008, the cyclone Ivan destroyed and damaged quiet a few beach bungalows. In August 2008 some rebuilding was still in progress.
