From the moment you step foot on Gili Lankanfushi you realise you've chosen a very special/memorable holiday. Having read so many rave reviews before our departure we were a little worried that our expectations were set too high, however, we needn't have worried as they were absolutely surpassed during our 10 day stay. A huge thank you to all the... More

There is no better place on this planet for real relaxation, delicious food and fantastic service in what must certainly be one of nature's best playgrounds. Since our last visit here, the villas have been upgraded with higher specifications of entertainment systems, coffee machines and minibars. There is nothing else you could need. The villas were already fabulous, and now,... More

To my mind, the genius of Gili Lankanfushi Maldives Resort is a combination of quite luxury and subtle decadence. From the moment I set foot on the arrivals jetty, to be greeted by my personal Robinson Crusoe style ‘Friday’, I knew I was at an exceptional resort: the property is beautifully maintained and sparkling clean and the staff are welcoming,...

We just stayed at Gili Lankanfushi in mid May 2013. We were looking forward to the trip having read the reviews. This is our 3rd trip to the Maldives having tried 2 other resorts.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Gili Lankanfushi, Maldives is a short 20 minute boat ride from Male, the capital of the Maldives.It is a tiny coral island in a sparkling lagoon, with jetties threading across the water out to spacious villas. The forty-four stilted villas plus the vast Private Reserve are crafted in a traditional style from natural materials and offer roof-top and over-water sundecks, featuring open air bathrooms, sumptuous daybeds and a personal entertainment center. For ultimate privacy, we have seven Crusoe Residences that are only accessible by personal boat. Come ashore for some great dining and equally great wines or perhaps a romantic moonlit dinner delivered right to the villa. The possibilities are endless.The interior decoration has been devised to recreate a natural habitat, using sustainable woods, natural materials and traditional fabrics, whilst still offering all the modern day amenities and creature comforts of true luxury. At Gili Lankanfushi, Maldives we are very sensitive to the environment. The utmost care has been taken in developing the island with respect to its ecological balance.The Maldives is a paradise for snorkeling and diving and the resort has its own fully -equipped PADI diving school plus a variety of water sports. This place tops the list of must-do destinations for those in the know. ... more   less
