Official Description (provided by the hotel):: Gili Lankanfushi, Maldives is a short 20 minute boat ride from Male, the capital of the Maldives.It is a tiny coral island in a sparkling lagoon, with jetties threading across the water out to spacious villas. The forty-four stilted villas plus the vast Private Reserve are crafted in a traditional style from natural materials and offer roof-top and over-water sundecks, featuring open air bathrooms, sumptuous daybeds and a personal entertainment center. For ultimate privacy, we have seven Crusoe Residences that are only accessible by personal boat. Come ashore for some great dining and equally great wines or perhaps a romantic moonlit dinner delivered right to the villa. The possibilities are endless.The interior decoration has been devised to recreate a natural habitat, using sustainable woods, natural materials and traditional fabrics, whilst still offering all the modern day amenities and creature comforts of true luxury. At Gili Lankanfushi, Maldives we are very sensitive to the environment. The utmost care has been taken in developing the island with respect to its ecological balance.The Maldives is a paradise for snorkeling and diving and the resort has its own fully -equipped PADI diving school plus a variety of water sports.

“Great Gili - a comparison with Baros”

Reviewed 12 May 2013

Review Monkeys have now spent a wonderful week at both Gili Lankanfushi and Baros, so if you're picking between the two - read on. Gili Lankanfushi is a fantastic resort that always feels peaceful and quiet - despite near full capacity. That's probably because the rooms are so good: everyone just wants to hang out, swim and eat in them.... More

From the moment you step onto the dock until they drag you away to the airport, the staff of this resort work to make everything perfect.

Reviewed 3 May 2013

This was the second time we've stayed at Gili Lankanfushi & the first time since the change in ownership. Initially, I was a little worried that the change from Six Senses would have heralded a number of changes and a "dumbing down"' whether in terms of service, facilities or quality of food. I can honestly say, that wasn't the case... More

We stayed 5 nights at the Gili Lankanfushi in April at the end of a 2 week break in the Maldives (first half of the holiday was in the Constance Moofushi in South Ari Atol; see separate review).
