| Ranveli - literally meaning Golden Sand in the local language, the island with its beautiful sandy beaches, the tall palm trees and mirror-like clear water, is a self-contained paradise. One of its most distinguishing features, and also its most beautiful, is the long white beach that stretches away from the island. Like a deliberately constructed road to the edge of the sea, this naturally created stretch of white sand lets you understand the true meaning of “a walk on the beach”. |
