There are some evenings at Mabali Island that feel almost unreal — the sun dipping behind the hills, the sky turning gold and pink, and the sound of a violin gently floating across the lake. The waves shimmer, the air stands still for a moment, and you can feel the music becoming one with nature. That’s what makes Mabali Island truly unique — it’s not just a resort; it’s a place where art, nature, and peace blend beautifully together.
A Magical Violin Evening with Iftikhar Sb.
Every weekend, as the sun begins to set over Khanpur Lake, the peaceful rhythm of the evening comes alive with the soulful music of Ustad Iftikhar Sb., a gifted violinist who has made Mabali Island his stage. His music doesn’t just fill the air — it fills hearts.
Guests often pause their conversations, put down their phones, and simply listen. Families sit quietly by the lake, couples hold hands, and children watch in awe as the notes drift over the water. It’s not loud, it’s not forced — it’s pure emotion, played in harmony with the sound of gentle waves and the rustle of evening wind.
The experience is difficult to describe unless you’ve felt it. As one of our guests said, “It’s like the lake is singing back to him.”
Music that Complements the Dining Experience
Dining at Mabali Island is already special — the lake views, candlelight, and the scent of freshly grilled food all set the tone. But when the violin begins to play, everything changes.
At the Lakeside Restaurant, music adds a soul to every meal. Families enjoy dinner surrounded by melody, couples find a new spark in the silence between notes, and even solo travelers often say it feels like dining inside a movie scene.
The idea behind live music at Mabali is simple — to bring people closer, to slow time, and to let guests feel the peace that only nature and art together can create.
Learn the Art of Music by the Lake
Inspired by the beauty and calm of the lake, Mabali Island is now introducing music classes for those who wish to connect deeper with this art form. Guests can learn the piano, guitar, violin, or tabla, guided by passionate instructors who believe music should be felt, not just played.
Imagine learning to strum your first chord or play your first violin note while the breeze from the lake brushes past — it’s the kind of setting that turns learning into an experience. Whether you’re a complete beginner or already love music, these classes invite you to rediscover yourself through rhythm and melody.
A Harmony of Nature and Art
At Mabali Island, we’ve always believed that true relaxation isn’t just about adventure or luxury — it’s also about moments that touch the heart. Music by the lake is one of those moments. It connects people, calms the mind, and reminds us that beauty doesn’t need to shout; it simply needs to be felt.
In the End
From Iftikhar Sb.’s enchanting violin evenings to music classes for guests, Mabali Island celebrates the art of slowing down and listening — not just to music, but to life itself. So, the next time you visit, don’t just come for the lake views or adventure — come for the melody that plays softly between the hills, and let your heart hum along.
