The shallow waters surrounding this tranquil island host a huge aggregation of whale sharks and coral reefs that we will explore by boat, collecting valuable conservation data.
With an added splash of luxury this retreat is held in charming exclusive-use accommodation where we will take time to stretch, swim, meditate and come together to set our intentions for the year ahead.

Itinerary
After a thrilling scenic flight in a single prop Cesna aeroplane, you will arrive on Mafia island and be transferred to your accommodation at Bustani Lodge. Settle into your room, then join the group for a light lunch in our private garden restaurant looking out over the Indian ocean. Have a dip in the pool, and fully arrive before our afternoon orientation. As we have the place completely to ourselves, enjoy your surroundings and the facilities then meet over dinner. Sleep well in comfortable beds to the sound of chirruping cicadas.
