ACCOMMODATION

A jewel of the Indian Ocean, Miavana by Time + Tide is a private island resort set on the remote, pristine shores of Nosy Ankao. Accessible only by helicopter, this rarefied retreat offers a seamless fusion of untamed wilderness and refined indulgence. Here, time slows to the rhythm of the tides, and every experience is tailored to the most discerning travelers seeking absolute seclusion and sophistication.

The resort’s 14 palatial villas—each an expansive masterpiece ranging from 620 to 1,050 square meters—are architectural symphonies of Malagasy craftsmanship and contemporary elegance. Designed to harmonize with the island’s ethereal beauty, they feature handwoven textiles, indigenous stone, and artisan-carved rosewood. Each sanctuary boasts a private infinity pool, direct beach access, and floor-to-ceiling glass doors opening onto the turquoise expanse of the ocean. With 24/7 butler service, a personal kitchenette, and bespoke in-villa dining, every detail is orchestrated for an unparalleled sense of ease and exclusivity.

At Miavana, the culinary journey is a celebration of land and sea, with daily-changing menus crafted from Madagascar’s rarest flavors. Guests may dine beneath starlit skies, on secluded sandbanks, or in the privacy of their villa, as the finest wines and handcrafted cocktails complement each gastronomic masterpiece. Every meal is an event, curated to enchant the palate and the senses.

Beyond the indulgence of stillness, Miavana offers extraordinary adventures tailored to the elite explorer. Plunge into protected coral reefs teeming with marine life, embark on helicopter safaris over Madagascar’s emerald rainforests, or track endangered lemurs in their untouched natural habitat. For the ultimate thrill, deep-sea fishing, kite surfing, and private yacht excursions unlock the island’s boundless playground. After days of discovery, the Miavana Spa beckons with immersive wellness rituals, where ancient Malagasy healing techniques restore balance in the most serene of settings.
