Wouldn’t it be lovely if you were on a tropical island right now, with the sound of the sea lulling you into a state of serenity?
In lieu of a luxury Caribbean holiday, Sonus Island will do a great job of making you feel like you’re on a paradise isle. This meditation app is, in fact, modelled around the idea of a tropical island.
Go to what looks like a treasure map, and you can tap on various areas of the island to listen to the sounds of those locations. Choose the sunset beach, for example, to hear rolling waves. Tap on the forest to hear rain and birdsong. Or, tap in the surrounding ocean to listen to underwater whale sounds.

In each of these areas, you can choose to participate in a minute-long breathing exercise or set a timer for up to eight hours of continuous relaxation sounds.
The app also has three island locations (Lunar Beach, Ora Beach and Silva Forest) at which you can take “Guided Tours”. These are guided meditations in which you can listen to an instructed relaxation session, with nature sounds playing in the background.
It’s almost – almost – as relaxing as the real beach.
