One of India’s best-kept secrets, Lakshadweep is not just a place to visit; it is an experience. Turquoise lagoons, powder-soft white sand beaches, both offer an unforgettable adventure that will live with you forever. Many guests return with memories of yoga at sunrise on deserted islands; midnight star-gazing under clear skies that are free of pollution. What makes these coral islands so special? It is their unique ability to connect you to nature in its most raw and unspoiled form, along with genuine hospitality that feels like a family reunion. Let’s look at the activities that will leave you with lasting memories after you visit.
Escape to Pristine Beaches, Unlimited Adventure
When you wake up to the sound of waves crashing gently on your shore, and step out onto pristine beaches that are like a postcard from heaven, you will realise what paradise really is. Guests have described their experiences of snorkelling on the stunning coral reefs in Agatti, where vibrant, colourful fish swim around like gems, while graceful sea turtles glide past. "I spent hours floating, weightless and surrounded by a living aquarium. Time seemed to stop!" said one guest. Dawn or dusk, kayaking through still clear lagoons, or sailing in a traditional odam boat is thrilling, while glass-bottom boat rides allow you to view the ocean floor without getting wet. All of these experiences give you an incredible feeling of serenity and are far removed from the crowds of the mainland.
Luxury Meets Serenity at Praveg Atoll's Lakshadweep Resort
In the evenings, guests can participate in beach barbecues featuring fresh lagoon lobster grilled right on the beach or enjoy spa treatments under the stars using the many indigenous herbs found in Lakshadweep. The friendly and professional staff at the Lakshadweep Resort anticipates the needs of their guests before they arrive. They also make arrangements for private picnics located on secluded sandbanks, as well as guided night snorkelling trips that showcase the beautiful bioluminescent plankton that reside in the lagoons.
Eco-Adventures and Wellness Retreats
For the Eco-Adventure and Wellness Retreats at the Lakshadweep Resort, adventure seekers can experience diving at Bangaram Atoll while observing manta rays and eagle rays swimming in some underwater world rich with marine life. Health-conscious vacationers are now enjoying Ayurvedic massage treatments that utilise the unique and powerful properties of coral-laden oils and foraging for wild herbs to brew a healthy tea.
Families enjoy building sand castles, and while doing this, the children learn about the ecosystems in the tidal areas while collecting hermit crabs and starfish. These activities have a strong sustainability element associated with them, and guests play a role in restoring coral reefs through Coral Restoration Projects and planting marine-friendly saplings on beach clean-up days to ensure the islands stay healthy for generations to come.
