Perfect is not a word thrown around lightly but Time & Tide Miavana seemingly ticks all the boxes effortlessly.
Expect to find picture perfect white sandy beaches falling into a calm warm sea of crystal clear water perfect for discovering the pristine coral reef on a snorkeling or diving trip.
On the island itself expect to find Limas running around the trees and beautiful corners ready to be explored.
It’s truly a beautiful and special place.
