Miavana by Time + Tide
Nosy Ankao, Madagascar
Why Miavana by Time + Tide is one of The World's Best 100 Resorts 2026.
Miavana occupies an entire island off Madagascar, where helicopter arrivals, empty beaches and extraordinary marine life establish a genuine sense of expedition. The villas deliver uncompromising comfort, yet the most memorable moments happen beyond them: lemur encounters, reefs, fishing grounds and horizons with almost no sign of another traveller.
The essentials.
