Gili Lankanfushi Maldives – A Dream Realised in Barefoot Luxury

If you could dream up the perfect island escape—one where eco-conscious design meets unrivalled luxury—it would look like Gili Lankanfushi. Set in the North Malé Atoll, this is one of the Maldives’ most iconic resorts, offering a soulful blend of sophistication, serenity, and sustainability. From palatial overwater villas to extraordinary service and marine-rich waters, Gili Lankanfushi invites guests to reconnect with the essence of pure indulgence.

Location

Located in the North Malé Atoll, Gili Lankanfushi is just a 20-minute luxury speedboat transfer from Velana International Airport. This seamless journey brings guests to a serene private island fringed with coconut palms and encircled by a vibrant house reef.

The Accommodation

With only 45 overwater villas, including the largest overwater villa in the world—the Private Reserve—Gili Lankanfushi delivers unmatched exclusivity. Each villa is crafted from natural, sustainable materials and designed with open-air living in mind. Expect sun-drenched decks, overwater hammocks, glass floor panels, private roof terraces, and direct access to the turquoise lagoon.

The Private Reserve is a standalone island of its own, complete with a waterslide, private spa, gym, cinema, and dedicated butlers—ideal for multi-generational families or the most exclusive getaways.

Activities, Snorkelling & Diving

The marine life around Gili Lankanfushi is extraordinary. The resort’s 24-hour Dive Centre offers access to more than 30 world-class dive sites, as well as guided snorkelling safaris with resident marine biologists. The house reef is thriving and easily accessible from your villa.

Other experiences include private sandbank dinners, sunrise surfing with Tropicsurf, sustainable fishing trips, cooking classes, and sunset dhoni cruises. For complete relaxation, unwind at the Meera Spa, suspended over the ocean with glass floors beneath the massage tables.

Conservation & Giving Back

Gili Lankanfushi leads the way in sustainable luxury. The resort has banned single-use plastics, uses desalinated water, composts waste, and grows much of its produce in an organic garden. Guests can participate in coral line planting, educational talks, and marine conservation projects supported by the Gili Veshi marine biology centre. Their ‘No News, No Shoes’ philosophy encourages guests to disconnect and slow down—emphasising meaningful travel.
