Pointe Mahabou & King Andriantsoly's Tomb
Pointe Mahabou is a scenic botanical headland in Mamoudzou overlooking the ocean bay, housing the revered royal tomb of King Andriantsoly. As the last Sakalava King of Boina who ceded Mayotte to France in 1841, Andriantsoly was assassinated here in 1845. The sacred Malagasy-style royal tomb remains a deeply venerated pilgrimage site, where visitors report encounters with royal phantom guardians and unexplained spiritual phenomena.
