Villas for sale in Nosy Be: Andilana and beachfront
Villa with pool, panoramic view of the Indian Ocean, property close to a beach or tropical house: how to search for an exceptional property in Nosy Be?
Looking for a villa for sale in Nosy Be is choosing much more than just a house. On this island in the Indian Ocean, the landscape, proximity to the sea, vegetation, views, access, and privacy all contribute directly to the value and enjoyment of a property.
The market includes very different types of villas: tropical houses with swimming pools, properties overlooking the ocean, villas close to a beach, large wooded plots or properties suitable for a tourism project.
Why look for a villa in Nosy Be?
Nosy Be concentrates a significant portion of Madagascar's high-end beachfront real estate offerings. The island combines beaches, tropical vegetation, water sports, and tourist infrastructure, while offering very different residential environments depending on the area.
The buyer can therefore search for a house intended to be occupied several months a year, a secondary residence for holidays, a family property or, after thorough study, a property associated with a rental or tourist activity.

Andilana: villas and properties north of Nosy Be
Located at the northern tip of Nosy Be, Andilana is one of the island's iconic locations.
Its white sand beach stretches for approximately two kilometers , and the area is home to several high-end tourist establishments. Its image is closely associated with turquoise waters, beaches, and a sought-after tropical environment.
In real estate, the name Andilana covers very different situations: villa near the beach, property located on the heights, house surrounded by vegetation or estate enjoying a panoramic view of the ocean.
Therefore, it is less the simple name of the sector than the combination of location + view + land + quality of construction + amenities that allows one to understand the positioning of a villa.
What types of villas can be found in Nosy Be?
Cap Doré · Andilana: a villa facing the Indian Ocean
The Cap Doré estate , in the hills above Andilana, offers a concrete example of what the high-end market of Nosy Be can represent.
Propriétés De Charme currently presents a villa offering 474 m² of living space on a 5,021 m² plot . The property overlooks the bay and enjoys a 180° panoramic view of the Indian Ocean.
The property also features a solar installation, allowing for complete energy self-sufficiency. Here, the value of the property is therefore not solely based on its size: the view, the land, the swimming pool, the privacy, and the energy independence all contribute significantly to its appeal.
What budget is needed for a villa in Nosy Be?
There is no sufficiently homogeneous public rating to assert that a villa in Nosy Be is worth a specific amount per square meter.
The available listings, on the contrary, show a wide range. For example, a listing published in August 2026 offers two villas in Andilana, described as beachfront, for €290,000, while higher-end properties can be listed for several hundred thousand euros more.
Our villa in Cap Doré is currently listed at €850,000 (agency fees included). These examples primarily illustrate the heterogeneity of the market: surface area, land, condition, architectural quality, access, view, and legal status are not comparable from one property to another.
🌊 “Feet in the water”: an expression worth checking out
In island real estate advertisements, phrases like "seaside," "waterfront," or "right on the water" are particularly appealing. However, they should never replace a physical and legal verification.
It is necessary to determine the exact distance between the house and the coastline, the nature of the access, the configuration of the land, any passages and the rules applicable to the coastal zone.
A villa boasting a magnificent ocean view may, in fact, be located on a hillside and not have direct beach access. Conversely, immediate proximity to the sea does not necessarily guarantee a panoramic view.
8 points to consider before buying
Foreign buyer: the land must be studied before purchase
For a foreign buyer, the beauty of a villa should never overshadow legal due diligence.
Article 18 of Malagasy Law No. 2023-002 on Investments stipulates that foreign individuals or legal entities cannot directly acquire land. They may instead use long-term leases for a maximum duration of 99 years, renewable according to the terms established by law.
The exact nature of the rights relating to the land and buildings, as well as the corresponding documents, must therefore be checked with competent professionals in Madagascar.

Holiday villa or rental project?
The tourist appeal of Nosy Be may naturally lead some buyers to consider seasonal rentals. However, it's important to distinguish between the quality of a holiday villa and the actual profitability of a rental business.
Seasonality, on-site management, staff, garden and pool maintenance, energy, marketing, taxation and regulations must be studied before any financial projection.

How to sell a luxury villa in Nosy Be?
To attract an international clientele, a villa must be presented with more than just a series of photographs. The listing must immediately convey the property's location, what it offers, how to access it, what makes it unique, and the legal framework under which it is offered.
Sea view, land, swimming pool, autonomy, architecture, distance to beaches and quality of photographs are particularly important for a buyer who is discovering the property from abroad.
