The Details
The main island of Nosy Be’s smaller sibling, Sakatia Lodge, is just a short boat trip off Nosy Be which allows more flexible transfers. This close island also accommodates easy access to day trips to the main island to check out the main attractions there.
As you approach Sakatia Lodge from your boat transfer, you will first be greeted by the dense forested mountain which lies adjacent to the lodge. This ‘sacred mountain’ (so-called because it is off limits in terms of the superstitions of the local Malagasy people) commands attention when you’re at Sakatia Lodge.
The lodge owners, Jose and Isabella, make sure your stay is extra comfy. Their son, Jacques, runs the diving centre.
