Gili Lankanfushi

As always, an absolute highlight – truly a paradise on Earth. The hotel is outstanding, combining elegant design with something even more special: wonderful people. From the moment you arrive, you feel genuinely welcomed. Just in front of the villas lies a fascinating underwater world, full of things to discover

We had the most wonderful stay at Gili Lankanfushi - the setting, the ambiance, the staff, the food - all amazing! Our Ms Friday - Shaany - looked after us and nothing was too much trouble. She was friendly, helpful and great at arranging surprises! Boa, Ibrahim and Alisha welcomed us at every meal and ensured that everything was perfect for us at all times. They were so friendly, kind and chatty and it was always a pleasure to see them. Ramen, the sommelier, showed us around the incredible wine cellar and ensured that our favourites drinks were always ready for us at every meal. Hari - the Head Chef - the creator of the most delicious food! So much thought, love and attention is put into every meal - so many culinary delights for us to enjoy. We can't wait to return!

The best hotel I’ve ever stayed at. The staff are the most engaging and friendly I’ve ever seen and I think it’s because they love what they are doing at this hotel. It’s full of passion. As a location it’s perfect as it’s a 20 minute boat ride from Male airport which is far enough away to not be impacted by the airport and still easy to get to. The accommodation and hospitality areas are all fabulous. They are clean, sustainable and have everything you need. Special shout outs to Shaany and Boa who went above and beyond to look after us and make sure we had a memorable holiday.

I know over 20 Maldives islands. Gili is one of the best and most authentic Maldives experiences there is. An excellent combination of authentic Robinson Crusoe feeling and outstanding service and comfort. Everyone should experience this special island once.

We celebrated our honeymoon at Gili for 6 nights in the overwater pool villa. Words are hard to describe the surreal experience from the moment you arrive on Gili to the final departure. This was our first time and we were not disappointed. Special thanks to our “Ms Friday, Shaany” who made sure our stay was exceptional in every way possible. From the breathtaking scenic views the Maldives has to offer, to the exceptional service and friendliness of all staff is what makes this the special 5 star resort it is! Food was absolutely amazing with some of the best breakfast and dinner menus we have ever experienced. Thankyou to Lonsy in the food service and all the staff for such welcoming smiles and exceptional service. Ramon the somlier also! The villas are huge with excellent amenities and plenty of private space. Thankyou Gili for such a memorable experience. We will be back again. And if you are reading this your review, do yourself a favour and book yourself an experience of a lifetime at Gili Langfushi!
