The story of Nosy Be Hotel
Dear travelers in search of authenticity,
Allow me to share the captivating story of Nosy Be Hotel — a place that carries the deeply rooted heritage of our family, a story of love and dedication to our beloved Malagasy land.
It all began with my mother, founder of Nosy Be Hôtel & Spa. With roots in Madagascar, Scotland, China, and the UK, she spent many years traveling the world before returning to Nosy Be in 1989, drawn by the call of her origins.
Her dream was to create a place in her image — sincere and welcoming, where one feels at home while being far away.
I grew up by her side.
I am the youngest son of the Ross family, forever shaped by the soul of this island. Nosy Be saw me grow up — through its landscapes, its scents, and its unique light.
This land is my birthplace, my inspiration, and now, the essence of my commitment.
After studying at one of the world’s top hospitality schools, I chose to return to Nosy Be to carry on this family legacy and give it new life.
Together with my mother, I continue this adventure, combining tradition with modernity, and a constant pursuit of quality, kindness, and beauty.
In 1993, my mother opened the doors of Nosy Be Hotel — a modest lodge of twelve rooms, born of passion and humility.
Year after year, the hotel grew — through word of mouth, a loyal team, and a philosophy grounded in respect, authenticity, and elegance.
Today, our establishment is home to nearly seventy rooms and stands as a landmark destination on the island.
Our 3.5-hectare tropical garden, filled with baobabs and rare species, our sea-facing spaces, our peaceful beach, and our soothing atmosphere reflect a gentle and sincere island lifestyle.
But Nosy Be Hotel is more than just a place — it’s a human story.
For over 30 years, we’ve been working hand-in-hand with the local community, supporting educational, social, and environmental projects.
Our team, made up almost entirely of Malagasy talent, is the beating heart of this journey. Some of our collaborators have been with us for more than 12 years.
With my mother, we are shaping the future of Nosy Be Hotel — a future rooted in transmission, refinement, and authenticity.
Whether you’re seeking peace, beauty, or wonder…
We open the doors of our haven to you, and would be honored to share with you the Nosy Be we love and live every day.
We look forward to welcoming you,
