Imagine hiding away on a tiny coral island resort in a sparkling lagoon in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Then imagine a retreat even more exclusive: your own 5-room sanctuary reached only by boat at this member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World. You have just envisioned the Private Reserve at Gili Lankanfushi Maldives in the Maldives. Designed in harmony with the natural surroundings, this stunning hideaway boasts two master suites, a natural coral pool and a private spa pavilion. From personal butlers to a customized wine cellar, no indulgence has been overlooked.

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!

If you are a family with kids you must must go to Gili! We are a family of 5 with two girls aged 11 and 7 and an infant of 3 months - at Gili all three of them were taken care of and pampered. From baby sitting facilities for our infant to activities organized for our two girls - Naff who was our Mr Friday aka personal butler was super organized and took care of everything. To an extent we thought that she was telepathic as she knew what we wanted just as we thought it! Walking around barefoot was just the icing on the cake! We were spoilt for choice with food with a different cuisine for all the 5 nights! From Brazilian to Indian and Thai - each meal topped the previous!
