Nosy Ambariovato has a long and storied history. It was first settled by the Sakalava people in the 16th century, who called it “Nosy Be”, meaning “Big Island” in Malagasy. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the island was a major trading post for the French and British, and it was also a popular destination for wealthy Europeans looking for a tropical getaway.
