Gili Lankanfushi

Absolutely beautiful rooms, and huge, choose carefully as some have better outlooks than others. Special mention to the chefs who bowled me over with their willingness to accommodate my gluten allergy. Nothing was too much trouble - they came to my table at each meal to discuss how the menu could be adapted, rare service indeed. The staff are all very friendly and super helpful.

Our stay at Gili Lankanfushi was truly exceptional and unforgettable. The resort is pure paradise, but what makes it extraordinary are the people. A special thank you to Rodrigo, whose leadership and warmth set the tone for an incredible experience. Our MS Friday Naff was outstanding – attentive, kind, and always one step ahead, making everything feel effortless. The culinary experience was superb, with heartfelt thanks to Chef, Wabbe, and Gajan for consistently amazing food. The spa was equally impressive – serene, professional, and deeply relaxing. There are many more wonderful team members who made our stay so special. Gili Lankanfushi is not just a resort, it’s an experience we will never forget. We can’t wait to return.

All is perfect, location, staff, food. The island is beautiful, location is perfect, only 20 minutes speed boat from Male.

Our stay at Gili Lankanfushi was truly exceptional. The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and professional. They paid attention to every detail and fulfilled all our requests with genuine care and expertise. Our Mr. Friday, Tesla, was outstanding.

The variety and quality of the food were excellent, and the beautiful white sandy beaches surrounding the island are simply breathtaking. We can wholeheartedly recommend Gili Lankanfushi to anyone looking for a truly luxurious and unforgettable holiday.

Our honeymoon at Gili Lankanfushi was absolutely magical. We loved the island’s barefoot luxury—it was the perfect balance of relaxed, natural beauty and exceptional service. What truly made our stay unforgettable was the staff. We loved being shown the behind-the-scenes side of the island, including visiting Chef Hari’s garden and learning about the island’s water engineering with Rohan—such unique and thoughtful experiences. Our Mr. Friday, Tesla (Thasleem), was exceptional. He took care of every detail and recommended and booked activities that made our honeymoon truly memorable. We thoroughly enjoyed sunrise yoga with Komal, as well as her wonderful spa treatments. The Ayurvedic massages with Anu were outstanding, and we really appreciated the knowledge she shared with us. Brendan and Georgia from TopicSurf gave us fantastic surf lessons as complete beginners, and the snorkelling experiences with the marine biologists were incredible—their passion really stood out. A huge thank you to Ibrahim, Monica, Chef Ratul, Alisha, Chef Deena, Moti, Armin, and the entire team for going above and beyond with our meals and care. As a vegan and someone with a nut allergy, we felt completely safe and genuinely looked after throughout our stay. We loved every moment at Gili Lankanfushi and hope we can return one day. Highly recommended for a truly special and unforgettable trip.
