The resort

Overview

Gili Lankanfushi is a barefoot-luxury resort in North Malé Atoll, home to the Private Reserve — the world's largest standalone overwater villa — and a collection of thatched-roof villas and residences with direct ocean access.

Guests choose from one and two-bedroom villas with rooftop terraces and infinity pools, or secluded residences reached by a short boat ride, some with catamaran nets hovering above the sea. Dining spans the organic-garden-sourced Kashiveli, Japanese fine dining at By The Sea, and an Underground Wine Cellar holding 10,000 bottles. Meera Spa and a PADI-certified dive centre round out an island built entirely around barefoot seclusion.
