Gili Lankanfushi lies on the island of Lankanfushi in North Malé Atoll, around 30 minutes by speedboat from Velana Airport. The resort has 45 villas and residences which, with their thatched roofs, stand above the lagoon and open onto the ocean. Shoes stay in the suitcase here, in keeping with the motto “No News, No Shoes”. The resort suits couples looking for peace, nature and plenty of space, and families too, as the living room in the residences converts into a second bedroom.
Every guest has a personal host, named after Robinson Crusoe’s loyal companion. Your Mr or Ms Friday is available around the clock and arranges excursions, spa appointments, sunset boat trips and restaurant reservations.
Beneath the island lies the Underground Wine Cellar with around 500 labels and 10,000 bottles. A sommelier guides you through the selection and suggests food to match. At sunset, the Overwater Bar is the place to be, known for its coconut martini.
Meera Spa is set on a secluded bay, with treatment rooms over the water. Every treatment begins with a foot bath in mineral-rich sea salt. The menu includes massages, Ayurvedic therapies, reiki and seaweed baths, complemented by visiting therapists.
The accommodation is divided into villas, residences and The Private Reserve. Depending on the category, the one- and two-bedroom villas have a rooftop terrace, an infinity pool and a Maldivian swing, with direct access to the ocean from the living room. The residences sit at the far end of the jetties or a short boat ride away, some with nets over the water and hammocks. The Private Reserve stands alone in the ocean, with a pool, a spa pavilion, a cinema and a water slide.
Gili Lankanfushi is firmly committed to nature and sustainability. At the heart of the island is an organic garden that supplies herbs and ingredients to the kitchen and the spa. Through its Gili Veshi programme, the resort works to protect the reef: guests can take part in the coral project, help with reef clean-ups or attend marine biology talks. Dining ranges from Kashiveli with its themed evenings to the Japanese restaurant By The Sea.
