Dotted with towering baobabs and ruled (in part) by King Julien himself, Madagascar is a wonderfully strange micro-continent of rainforests, exotic beaches and unusual species you won’t find anywhere else on earth. Located in the Indian Ocean just off the north-eastern tip of Madagascar, on its own private island, is the magnificent, remote and secluded hideaway, Miavana by Time+Tide, where 14 enormous design masterpieces each occupy their own hefty chunk of pristine beachfront. While understated in aesthetic, to call them “villas” would just be rude. Dive the reefs, dine outdoors, or doze on your deck as the ultimate antidote to all that go-go safari action.
