Andilana is a beach on Nosy Be, the island off the northwest coast of Madagascar, in Africa. It is a place to slow down: the main draw is the powdery white sand and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, which invite a long swim or simply an afternoon spent lying on the shore.
What to expect
- The beach: a stretch of fine white sand, well suited to a relaxed day.
- The sea: warm Indian Ocean water for swimming.
- The pace: a quiet, unhurried visit, best suited to those who want to rest rather than sightsee.
Planning your visit
Andilana fits naturally into a stay on Nosy Be, where a beach day can sit alongside time spent exploring the rest of the island. Since the beach itself is the reason to come, it is worth arranging your day around sun, swimming and the sea, and leaving room for unplanned time on the sand.
