About
Maila Shanks originally hails from Montreal, Canada, while Abdul Rashid Lone is from the highlands of India. We luckily met in Goa, India, where Rashid was a renowned hotelier/restaurateur. A grand love story ensued, until together we began to run the very successful Meems' Beach Resort on the shores of the Arabian Sea, for almost 15 years.
We are completely delighted with this new-ish situation, which is at the opposite end of the spectrum, and still full of wonderful surprises and discoveries.
When folks ask how we came to settle in this wee Newfoundland outport, we like to say "we followed the capelin!"
