The creation of a sanctuary for birds and animals on a natural island with only saline water source is amazing. The planning, effort, determination and the vision to create the infrastructure with potable water, electricity from wind mills and home for over 11,000 birds and animals makes this place unique. The luxury Anantara offers, is the icing on the cake.
