Time + Tide Miavana
In Malagasy, the word Miavana means "to bring together" and Miavana does just that in bringing together exclusivity and adventure, travel and conservation. Located on the remote private island of Nosy Ankao off the coast of Madagascar, this intimate haven is situated within the 15,000 hectares of the Loky Manambato Protected Marine Area. Designed with conservation and sustainability at its core, this luxurious eco-resort offers a raw and refined ocean setting for the most discerning traveller, and is the perfect place to escape and unwind.
Miavana offers 14 luxury villas of different sizes (one-, two- and three-bed with ensuite children's bedroom), all carefully designed to reflect the natural elements of air, sand, and the surrounding sea. Each villa offers a private pool and lounge, butler service, and floor-to-ceiling retractable glass windows for making the most of the panoramic Indian Ocean views. For honeymooners, couples and families alike, there are so many ways to enjoy spending time together on this exotic and magical island - explore this land of lemurs and chameleons on foot or by bicycle, marvel at the untouched coral reefs and rare marine life that surrounds you, or just relax together over champagne sundowners or a private beach picnic. For that extra special occasion, the resort is also available on an exclusive-use basis.
