A TASTE FOR LUXURY LIVING, OUTDOOR ADVENTURE & WILDLIFE
Those with a taste for luxury living, outdoor adventure and wildlife will find all three combined at Miavana, a stunning property situated on the remote island of Nosy Ankao.
Scattered along the spotless sands, each villa boasts direct beach access in addition to a private pool, lounge and well-equipped kitchenette. The light interiors, featuring hand-dyed textiles and locally cut stones, are inspired by the colours of the surrounding landscape, whilst floor to ceiling windows open onto the sparkling Indian Ocean. After the adventures of the day, you can recharge with an in-villa spa treatment, or kick back for an unforgettable sunset.
Miavana offers an impressive range of activities that allow guests to really experience the wonders of this enchanting destination. The Madagascan-inspired ‘Blue Safaris’ feature a mix of land and water-based activities, which include kite surfing, fly fishing, whale watching and even helicopter tours. Snorkelling and scuba diving, which can be enjoyed just steps from your villa, is superb and reveals the island’s rich marine life, whilst lemur treks through the forest could reward you with a sighting of the country’s iconic creatures.
