About this episode

The episode explores the unique luxury experience of Miavana in Madagascar, featuring an interview with its General Manager, Damian Jardine.

Today we're taking you somewhere truly off the map, to a remote archipelago off the northeastern coast of Madagascar, where wild nature and ultra-luxury somehow coexist. Think pristine white sand beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and wildlife found nowhere else on Earth. Joining us is Damian Jardine, the General Manager of Miavana, one of the most exclusive private island resorts in the world. We talk about what makes Madagascar feel like an entirely different planet, from cutie its lemurs and chameleons to its landscapes. We also chat about the intention behind building Miavana, and what it really means to experience luxury in a place where nature still leads. Hope you enjoy this episode of Luxury Travel Insider.
