Surrounded by vibrant coral reefs and the Indian Ocean’s spectacular maritime wonders, Miavana will consist of only 14 one-, two-, and three-bedroom villas strung along the island’s western pure white beaches. Reaching nearly 5,000 square feet in size, these palatial villas have been perfectly designed and will allow guests to step directly onto the powder-soft sand from their private decks to enjoy spectacular panoramic Indian Ocean sunsets extending to the far contours of mainland Madagascar

Miavana was specifically designed for nature lovers who appreciate the finer things in life. The island itself is surrounded by a pristine reef offering superb snorkeling and diving opportunities, as well as whale and dolphin watching, deep-sea fishing beyond the reef, jet skiing, kite surfing, helicopter flights, and more. The resort’s “blue safari” comprehensive guided water activities provide fascinating insights into the surrounding ecosystem as guests explore the aquamarine bays, beaches, lagoons, and channels of the archipelago.

Of course, when simply wanting to relax and enjoy the wild beauty of the island, opt for strolls along the beach, fly fishing from the front door of the villa, get up close with the resident hatching turtles, lounge under a palm tree watching the world go by, or indulge in a bit of pampering in Miavana’s world-class spa. It is also possible to embark on rainforest treks and lemur safaris on helicopter day trips to mainland Madagascar.

Perched on the hill of Faravohitra overlooking the city, the Maison Gallieni is ideally situated in Antananarivo. It was built in 1879 on the site of a granite quarry and used to house the first bank created in Madagascar. Located in the historic heart of the Malagasy capital, it offers a spectacular view overlooking the town. From your room, you can hear the bells of Faravohitra Cathedral chiming throughout the day.

The intimate maison includes only 4 bedrooms, giving visitors an exclusive and home-like atmosphere the moment they walk inside. Each of the rooms is equipped with air-conditioning, a flat screen TV, a safe, and WIFI. Guests can also enjoy the indoor and outdoor lounges and small heated swimming pool during their stay. This is the perfect place to relax during your stay. The delicious home-made breakfasts are a fabulous way to start the day.

Antananarivo is full of history and culture. As the largest city on the island of Madagascar, it has been an economic and political hub since well before colonization. In the city and in the surrounding areas, all eighteen of the Malagasy ethnic groups can be found providing a rich exploratory experience. Surrounding the city are three ridges that intersect at their highest point. The Manjakamiadana royal palace is located at the summit of these hills and is visible from every part of the city and the surrounding hills. And the city skyline is a jumble of colorful, historic houses and churches.
