Miavana by Time + Tide

Surrounded by white sandy beaches and sprawling coral reefs, Miavana stands as a luxury sanctuary at the end of the world. Accessible only by helicopter from Diego Suarez and Nosy Be airports, this haven of peace is situated on the private island of Nosy Ankao, the largest of five islands forming an isolated archipelago off the northeast coast of Madagascar. Nestled within a protected marine reserve of over 15,000 hectares, Nosy Ankao offers breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean.

The luxurious villas, designed to seamlessly blend with their surroundings, invite you to immerse yourself in island life. Inspired by marine elements such as sand and air, the interiors feature hand-dyed textiles in turquoise shades, Malagasy wood, and finely crafted local stone. Each of the 14 private villas boasts a veranda overlooking the ocean and a private pool, while floor-to-ceiling retractable glass windows provide panoramic views of the shimmering waters. The interior space includes a spacious living area, a dining corner, a fully equipped kitchenette, a minibar, a safe, eco-friendly air conditioning, and both indoor and outdoor showers with stunning ocean views.

Miavana represents the ultimate destination for contemporary explorers, offering world-class luxury in a setting where rare wildlife and extraordinary landscapes converge. In this 10 km² sanctuary, you'll have the opportunity to observe various species of lemurs, sea turtles nesting from October to February, and humpback whales frequenting the surrounding waters of this private island. For underwater enthusiasts, Miavana's crystal-clear waters provide unforgettable diving and snorkeling experiences, allowing you to explore the richness and diversity of the marine environment.
