Like most beaches in the Maldives, Lankanfushi is covered with a dense layer of white sand, the texture of which resembles talc. Because the beach frames the island, it is surrounded on all sides by the waters of the Indian Ocean. The color of water at Lankanfushi is azure with silver tints and highlights. Entrance to the ocean is very gentle and shallow Lankanfushi is located in a natural lagoon, so there are no waves and strong tides on the island. In addition, this phenomenon favorably affects the temperature of the water, which rarely drops below 27 ° C.

Near the island is a coral reef, so marine life often swim near the beach, completely unafraid of people. Crystal clear water allows you to see underwater life even without a mask.

However, in 2019, the island suffered a severe fire, which forced a partial reconstruction of the beach and the resort as a whole. At the time of repair for a period of 8 months, access to the beach is limited.

When is the best time to go?

Maldives – is an equatorial country with a tropical climate, where the weather is always warm at + 27-30ºС. But the islands have some seasonal features. From mid-April to the end of October it often rains here. The dry season lasts from November till April. At this time, the initially clear sea becomes completely transparent, and the sun illuminates in the sky 12 hours a day.

Important: A large amount of plankton is collected in October and November off the coast, which is why the ocean takes on a slightly unclear hue. On the other side – plankton illuminates the sea at night, creating an indescribable picture. At this time, coastal waters are filled with stingrays – fabulously fascinating creatures that are in no way inferior to the dolphins.
