Gili Lankanfushi

Our second stay at Gili Lankanfushi and once again the best holiday experience of our lives. We visited Gili for our honeymoon in May 2024 and returned this year for our anniversary. Everything was exceptional – the villas, food, service, atmosphere and hospitality. The anniversary arrangements touched us deeply. The beautiful decorations in our villa, thoughtful surprises, gifts and kind gestures throughout our stay made this celebration incredibly special for us and we are truly grateful. A very special thank you goes to Rayaa, our Friday during both of our stays. Having her again made our return even more meaningful and special. She was always there for us, always reachable, attentive, caring and exceptionally professional. Her warmth, kindness and dedication truly enhanced our Gili experience and she played a significant role in making our honeymoon and anniversary stays unforgettable. Rayaa is one of the reasons why Gili feels like home to us. We would also like to sincerely thank Haneef for taking exceptional care of our villa every day. Everything was always beautifully prepared, perfectly clean and organised with great attention and care. Our heartfelt thanks also go to Mailundeen, Meflal, Uno, Lolsi, Amee, Ali, Ramen, Irfan, Alam and Amani for their kindness, warmth and hospitality. Every breakfast, lunch and dinner felt special and our table always felt beautifully prepared. The food experience was outstanding. Every meal was fresh, delicious and prepared with great quality and care. The Japanese restaurant and the tuna tasting were unforgettable highlights. Although we mention specific team members, we would like to emphasise that everyone on the island was incredibly kind and welcoming. Gili feels like family and we already cannot wait to return again.

Me and my wife had a great time at Gili, Rooms, food was amazing. The service and care at Gili is on next level, Hari, Rodrigo, Lolzy, Hassan, Amaani, Stanley, Ramen, Florian and everyone so amazing. And of course our one and only Mr. Friday Miffy such a pleasure meeting you. The team at Gili will go above and beyond to make your stay unforgettable. We will visit again for sure. George & Sarah

My solo getaway was truly incredible thanks to Rodrigo and his phenomenal team. Special shoutout to Miffy, my “Mr. Friday,” who made me feel at ease from the moment I arrived and ensured my stay was seamless and enjoyable throughout. Everything was centered around relaxation and personalized service — from the beautiful villa and stunning surroundings to the delicious food. A million thanks to the entire team for such a memorable experience. I will definitely be back!

Gili Lankanfushi is more than just a resort; it is a place close to my soul where I truly feel at home. This was my second trip here, and I was so happy to find that despite the passage of time, nothing has changed—the magic, the peace, and the barefoot luxury are exactly as I remembered them. The service continues to be world-class, and some people truly made our stay unforgettable. A huge thank you to our Mr. Friday, Bobbo, who was absolutely extraordinary and made everything feel effortless. Another highlight was the experience at the cellar. I highly recommend the wine tasting with Ramen, the sommelier. His passion and knowledge made the afternoon special and also his wine recommendations were amazing. Also, a special mention to our waiter, Ibey (I hope I got the name right!), who was incredible—he had this amazing talent for anticipating our every wish before we even said a word. Gili stays in your heart long after you leave. I am already thinking about coming back the third time and looking forward to it!
