Gili Lankanfushi

My hubby and I had the best time. It was an anniversary trip for our big 20th. Everything from the villas, the staff, the food, the views, the service was beyond expectations. It’s a trip I wish I could relive over and over. There are also lots of activities/excursions that are included which is amazing!

Where do I even begin? My husband and I celebrated our honeymoon at Gili. It is paradise, combined with the greatest service possibly imaginable. It is heaven on earth. Our “Mr Friday” Tesla arranged every detail of our trip from start to finish- from an incredible snorkeling trip, to the most beautiful private dinner on the beach, and everything in between. Perfection. The staff here are the friendliest, most welcoming people we have ever encountered in all of our travels around the world. Special thank you to Nalin for the incredible cocktails all week, Ibbe for his impeccable food service during our meals, the hostess Monica for making us feel so welcomed every day. The food, the drinks, the incredible selection of events and activities every day are just over the top. If you are thinking about coming to the Maldives- look no further than Gili Lankanfushi. We have yet to travel to the same place twice, but we will certainly be back here, and hopefully soon!!

From the moment you step onto the speedboat to head to Gili and you are handed a bag to put your shoes in, and given a delicious, healthy, non alcoholic beverage, it is obvious you are in good hands. Arriving at the resort,you will be welcomed by the General Manager, Resort Manager and your own personal Mr. Friday, The water, the sand, the food, the villas, the spa, the snorkeling, the staff…all exceptional! I cannot recommend this resort highly enough. Each member of the staff makes a point of knowing your name and where you are from, and you are truly treated like family. I hope we have the opportunity to return!

Oh my gosh if this isn't the best place in the Maldives! Service is out of this world . The attention to detail is phenomenal and we very rarely had to ask for anything the staff just know and read the guests. We tried the Japanese restaurant which was great and delicious, also eating at the main restaurant on a few occasions too. We booked a private snorkel with the marine biologist from Australia who was informative and friendly which was exactly what we wanted. The spa therapists are some of the best , haven't felt that relaxed in ages from a massage. The rooms are huge , we booked a pool villa and it was a bonus to have the pool which I would do again if I came back. Nikolas the GM and his team are top notch and I was struggling to find a negative to write on their feedback form! Miffy our Friday was always available and ready to book things or ask questions if we needed. You could see his passion and level of service comes from been a valued staff member for a long time. Thanks to all the gili staff for making our few nights so memorable we will be back for sure!

We had a wonderful time at Gili Lankanfushi. Even during high season, the resort was quiet and luxurious. The villa is roomy and decorated appropriately for an island lifestyle. It's the perfect place to relax and pass the time. If adventure is what you are looking for, there's plenty of excursions and water recreation to do as well. Our host Tesla was gracious and responsive to our every need. Also worth mentioning, the food, which was excellent, notably the Maldvian dishes and local, fresh fish. We will be recommending Gili to all of our friends!
