Sakatia Lodge

Sakatia lodge is a friendly, family run resort popular with divers and snorkellers, located right on the beach on little Sakatia Island, a short distance from Nosy Be.

It has its own scuba and training dive centre with over 20 dive sites to choose from. Each bungalow has a private bathroom with hot water, fan, mosquito net and an outside seating area. Enjoy a drink in the bar overlooking Nosy Be and dine at the lodge’s table d’hôte  restaurant which makes use of the rich variety of delicious produce that Madagascar has to offer. There is a small shop for souvenirs  and other items. As well as diving and snorkelling, excursions on Nosy Sakatia or to its surrounding islands can be organised.

Sakatia Lodge offers a total of nine bungalows and four glamping tents, each designed to provide comfort and a connection to nature. All accommodations come with 24-hour electricity, hot showers, fans, mosquito nets, and complimentary Wi-Fi (1 GB per day).
