Nestled at the base of the snow-capped Sangre de Cristo Mountains, features the tallest sand dunes in North America. In late spring and early summer, snowmelt creates the wide, shallow Medano Creek right at the base of the dunes. This creates a seasonal beach experience where visitors can splash in the water and sandboard down massive hills simultaneously. 19. Cape Charles Beach, Virginia

Uncle Chester says: “This is not a beach. It’s a mood.” Nestled at the base of the snow-capped Sangre

Yes, it’s famous. Yes, it’s crowded. But Uncle Chester insists: “The sand is 99% pure quartz—it never gets hot. You can walk barefoot at 2 PM in July.” The powder-soft texture feels like baking flour. Arrive before 9 AM to claim a spot.

JOURNEYS

Stop. Listen.
Look closer.

We are guides and guardians to some of the most beautiful places on Earth, with a collection of luxury properties in Zambia and Madagascar. Our safari camps are linked by the lifeblood of the land; the rivers. Our story begins in Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park, where beautiful tributaries feed into the Luangwa River as it bends toward the mighty Zambezi. The river flows through the Lower Zambezi National Park, joined by the gentle waters of the Chongwe River. Once the Zambezi has run its course, it spills into the Indian Ocean where it’s carried by the currents across the seas. It finds itself on the shores of Nosy Komba off the northwest coast of Madagascar and ends somewhere between a fairytale and a dream on our private island sanctuary, Miavana by Time + Tide.

Escape to the extraordinary

Miavana by Time + Tide

An exhilarating helicopter ride over mountains, baobabs and shipwrecks dotting the wild coastline ends in a gentle landing on a remote private island off the coast of Madagascar. Rediscover your sense of wonder in a place where luxury means stepping foot where no man has before, surrounded by an unspoiled horizon. Raw and refined, Miavana brings together exclusivity and adventure as well as true sense of travelling with purpose. At around 10 square kilometres in size, Miavana is an intimate haven of time and space, a chance to escape and unwind.
