The name means "big island" and is pronounced "nossi bay" by the local Sakalava people, although "nooss bay" is nearer the highland pronounciation.

It is blessed with an almost perfect climate for much of the year.
Fertile and prosperous, with the heady scent of ylang-ylang blossoms giving it the tourist-brochure name of "Perfumed Isle", this is the place to come for a rest-providing you can afford it.

Compared with the rest of Madagascar, Nosy Be is expensive.
Tourism developed here long before the mainland, so inevitably the island seems touristy to adventurous travellers.

Since the recent demise of the sugar industry, all available land is being bought up for hotel development.
This, in turn, has pushed prices every higher.
