Getting there wasn't easy but apparently it is now possible to get there without flying to Tana first. Two flights, a 45 min car ride and a short boat trip and we were in paradise. The water is clear and warm and host to the best snorkelling sites we have ever experienced. The staff were great and attentive, always checking... More

We stayed in the three bedroom villa with our own huge balcony less than 10 metres from the beach. A mini bar, air con during the night and meals to die for. We booked with MadagasCaT Charters & Travel and will not hesitate to do this trip again. Thanks to Jose, Jacques and Isabelle for superb 5 star service for... More

This is a beautifully located lodge tucked away in an sylvan eastern corner of Sakatia island about 2-3kms from Nosy Be's west coast. The setting was pristine, lushious, intimate, nestling among trees with a forest adjacent. We had lemurs come to eat from the mango trees in the evening. The facilities were excellent, the menu was great, and staff very... More

First and foremost, some useful #Travel Tips# (That’s why you came here right!?) *Flights to Madagascar are expensive, (even from South Africa); we managed to get a good package deal through a travel agency (Jenman Safaris – highly recommended). * Flights are via Air Madagascar which is notorious for ridiculously long and erratic delays, so it is extremely risky to...

Sakatia Lodge is one of the best lodges I've ever stayed at! We stayed in the nature bungalows, which are gorgeous little huts under the trees and in the lush gardens. The food is amazing - in 12 nights we never had the same thing twice - and the staff and owners very involved, friendly and accessible. The island doesn't... More

As said by most, the facilities are great, the staff is fantastic. Sakatia Lodge is a one-stop solution to Nosy Be tourism willing to arrange any excursion. And... they speak English! Just don't go wandering around on the island alone without a compass!!

I think that the previous reviewers pretty much sum up how awesome Sakatia Lodge and staff are. The staff are friendly, polite, helpful and trustworthy. The facilities are spotless, the food scrumptious and the diving was great. We paddled around the Island, walked over the Island,bobbed around on tubes, drank copious amounts of wine, went for long walks on the... More

Sakatia Lodge is great value and a very friendly, welcoming lodge. The service and food are far better than the lodge's star rating would indicate. The staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. The dive centre is world class and the dive sites nearby are fantastic for recreational divers. Nosy Sakatia - Nosy means island - is a small island off... More

We stayed in Nosy Sakatia Lodge and it was the highlight of our honeymoon, the staff are so welcoming and cannot do enough to ensure you enjoy your stay. We have never felt so relaxed as we did here, the rooms are comfortable and the food was the best we had while in madagascar. There are lots of activities to... More
