Begin your trip at Miavana by Time + Tide, a remote isle off the coast of Madagascar. Arriving by helicopter, you’ll fly above glorious mountains, enthralling baobabs and shipwrecks scattered beneath the blue. Pitch up in paradise where a private villa complete with personal pool and expansive living and dining areas awaits.

While in Madagascar, exploring nature is the only thing that should be on your agenda. We highly recommend a private expedition to see lemurs in the wild and a marine safari to swim with whale sharks, turtles and manta rays.

After seven nights surrounded by jungle and an endless horizon, it’s time to dial up the pace with five nights in Dubai at Mandarin Oriental Jumeira. Arrive by Rolls Royce transfer and enjoy incredible food at one of three fine-dining restaurants, relax in the sumptuous spa with a signature ritual and take in the Emirate with a helicopter flight experience. Conclude your UAE stay with a private yacht charter around Palm Jumeirah before a VIP shopping experience at the iconic Dubai Mall with a personal stylist.

Overview:
  • 7 nights at Miavana by Time + Tide, a private island escape
  • Private helicopter expedition to see lemurs in their natural habitat
  • Madagascan marine safari spotting turtles, rays and whale sharks
  • 5 nights at Mandarin Oriental Jumeira in Dubai

"The concierge team at Miavana offer a range of experiences that are perfect for couples. My favourite? It’s hard to choose between the sunset dhow cruise with Champagne and private helicopter picnic on a deserted sandbank."
