The Hotel
Miavana is a 5*GL (grand luxury) hotel and is located on the island of Nosy Ankao, a protected marine area of 15,000 hectares. Designed by Silvio Rech and Lesley Carstens, the same architects who designed the North Island hotel in the neighboring Seychelles Islands, and the landscaper Greg Wepener, in charge of the rehabilitation and ecological preservation of the island (more than 70,000 trees have been planted on the island so far).
14 spacious and luxurious villas and a magnificent central common space equipped with large walls in local stone, various pergolas that invite the long-awaited intimacy or the opposite, to the sociability increasingly non-existent in our busy routine. Palm leaf roofs, curvilinear shapes, arches and hand-dyed textiles in brown, turquoise blue tones… a corner dedicated to a small museum the “Cabinet des Curiosités” that houses extraordinary collections such as the skeleton of a pygmy hippopotamus, 17th century cannons, the famous giant egg of the Aepyornis, the elephant bird… Restaurant, wood-fired pizza oven, bar, cellar, museum, swimming pool, rooftop,
