Hell-Ville Market
Bazary Be
The largest market on Nosy Be, selling vanilla, pepper, ylang-ylang essential oil, tropical fruit, and seafood. A good place to buy spice gifts.
The market in the centre of Andoany is an open-sided hall selling fresh tropical fruit, vegetables, fish, and shrimp. Local specialties include vanilla pods, wild pepper, cinnamon, cashews, and ylang-ylang essential oil. Prices are lower than at hotel shops, and some bargaining is expected. It is busiest from early morning until midday, and some stalls close after noon. When buying vanilla, choose plump, oily pods. If you plan to take plant products out of the country, check Chinese customs rules on plant materials.
