The sun leans low over the Indian Ocean, and an air‑conditioned vehicle eases onto a quiet sand track as the beach opens like a stage. Guests step down onto firm wet sand while wind and surf argue for attention; the guide lays a blanket, pops a bottle, and the last light flattens into gold across the water.
