If I could give more than 5 stars, I would in a heartbeat. My stay at Gili Lankanfushi Maldives was pure magic. From the moment I stepped off the boat and onto that soft white sand, I knew I was somewhere truly special. The views are breathtaking from every angle. Every single corner of the resort feels like a dream, crystal-clear turquoise waters, overwater villas that make you feel like you’re floating in paradise, and sunsets that look like they were painted by the universe- The food was an absolute masterpiece every day. Fresh, flavorful, creative—every meal felt curated just for me. The service was absolutely impeccable!! And truly the sprinkle of magic that made this resort my pure happiness—warm, genuine, and so attentive to every single detail. I felt like family from the welcome greeting to the heartfelt goodbye. I actually felt a slight heartache leaving my little spot of heaven! Every detail was thoughtful and filled with joy—whether it was the personalized touches in my villa, the peaceful, magical hammock above the ocean, or the magical turn-down moments that made each evening feel like a fairytale. If you're looking for a place that fills your heart, recharges your soul, and surrounds you with beauty beyond imagination, this is it. Gili is the resort.. true magic with such feelings, a dream, a memory you’ll carry forever. I left happier, lighter, and beyond grateful. Thank you, Gili Lankanfushi, for the most unforgettable experience of my life!! And I mean that - I’ll be back—because once your heart finds a place like this, there’s no letting go.

Our stay at Gili Lankanfushi was absolutely magical. We’re deeply grateful for the exceptional care and flawless service. Ms. Friday, KK went above and beyond—thoughtful, caring, and even prepared a romantic bath and set up our rooftop bed for stargazing. Ali and Rohan, our waiter and sommelier, provided impeccable service with a special dinner that touched our hearts. Every moment was filled with warmth and genuine hospitality. We felt truly cared for and cannot wait to return. Highly recommend this paradise for anyone seeking an unforgettable, romantic, and meaningful escape.

Gili Lankanfushi was the perfect tropical paradise for our honeymoon! Our Crusoe Sunset Villa made us feel like we had our own little chunk of the Maldives, and all the honeymoon details prepared for us by the team of the resort made the experience all the more magical for us. Add to that a great amount of sea-fauna to observe (our favourites were the sea turtles!) and delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner (best cinnamon ice cream you will ever taste) and it became the dream of any recent newly-weds. Most special for us, however, was our Mrs Friday Naph. She was a true professional, incredibly polite and smiley, but also convivial and with a good sense of humour. She made sure we did not have to worry about anything during our stay and was even personally responsible for some of the more touching details that made our honeymoon special. We are eternally grateful to her. Gili Lankanfushi shall forever remain the best resort in the Maldives!
