Our FAQ's

Thinnakara Island can be a good option for families with young children in terms of safety and the beauty of the natural surroundings. However, there are limitations to consider:

  • Limited Children's Activities: Unlike some resorts in other Lakshadweep islands, options specifically designed for children might be limited on Thinnakara Island.
  • Focus on Tranquility: The overall atmosphere prioritizes peace and relaxation. If your children require constant entertainment or have a high energy level, a different Lakshadweep island with more options might be better suited.
  • Resort Restaurants: The exclusive resort on Thinnakara Island will likely have its own in-house restaurants offering a menu featuring fresh, local seafood dishes alongside international cuisine. Expect a focus on high-quality ingredients and presentation.
  • Limited Outside Options: Due to the island's secluded nature, there won't be a variety of local restaurants or cafes to explore.

 

Similar to Kavaratti and Kalpeni, Thinnakara prioritizes a peaceful and serene atmosphere. Nightlife options are practically nonexistent.  The focus here is on relaxation, enjoying the natural beauty, and unwinding under the starlit sky.  The resort might organize special evenings with cultural performances or movies, but don't expect a bustling nightlife scene.

Thinnakara Island itself is very small and doesn't have any local villages. However, you can potentially arrange a visit to nearby Bangaram Island for a glimpse into the Lakshadweep way of life.  Interact with the local community, explore their markets, and experience the cultural aspects beyond the luxurious confines of the resort.

  • Formal Wear (Optional): While the overall vibe is casual, depending on the specific resort, you might want to pack one formal outfit for special events or dinners.
  • Luxury Toiletries: Considering the high-end nature of the resort, packing your preferred toiletries might be preferable.
  • Books and Entertainment: While the resort might offer entertainment options, having your own books, music, or games can be helpful, especially considering limited internet access.
  • Cash: While the resort will likely accept credit cards, carrying some cash is advisable for any incidental expenses or tipping.
