It’s tempting to simply meditate in the serenity of it all and the house sunrise yoga and meditation sessions invite you to do just that. Water sports include catamaran SUP, sailing, kayaking, canoeing, water skiing and windsurfing. There’s a tennis court, volleyball and ping pong as well as library and fitness centre. Sunset dhoni cruises, sandbank picnics, dolphin spotting and excursions to the capital Male or a local village can all be arranged.
Whether you crave European delicacies, Asian delights or fusion fare, you can savor superb cuisine at the main restaurant, over water bar, the intimate Japanese restaurant By the Sea or from an array of private, romantic dining destinations dotted around the island or lagoon. Be sure to descend to the underground wine cellar and chocolate cave for a selection of over 400 wine varieties, artisanal cheeses, cold cuts and handmade chocolates.
Meera means ocean in the Sanskrit language and the glass floor panels beneath the massage tables offer recipients a unique peek underwater to heighten the sensual experience. The spa offers a range of holistic therapies and the signature massage with warmed aromatic oils presents yet another fresh encounter. The overwater treatment area also incorporates a yoga and meditation champa.
Tropicsurf provides a year round guiding and instructional service from the resort. Currents, wind, tide, swell directions and neighboring resort schedules all determine the best times and spots. Your guide is an expert in these complex waters and will ensure your time is maximized. Daily boat trips by fast speedboat are flexible and adaptable to guest needs due to the low surfer numbers at Gili Lankanfushi.
Tropicsurf operates from Gili Lankanfushi year round. Small waves begin in mid February or March, by April wind direction improves drastically and mid-sized swells from the SW start lighting up all of the best breaks. April is definitely a favorite month, normally delivering shoulder to head-high, glassy waves with lower crowds. May sees the start of the SW monsoon. June to October typically sees the biggest and best swells.
