Gili Lankanfushi, Maldives

 Gili Lankanfushi is located in one of the largest lagoons in the Maldives, with jetties threading across the crystal clear water out to spacious over-sized villas that provide spectacular water views of the ocean from every room. Apart from the sparkling waters, the tiny island provides a very intimate atmosphere fused with luxuries of the highest international standard to create a wonderfully serene and natural experience.

 Gili Lankanfushi is relaxed and casual. The all-year-round, comfortable, tropical temperature requires only light and natural fabrics so Polo-style shirts, summer dresses and sarongs are ideal. You may want a jacket or wrap in the winter when temperatures can be as low as 23 degrees Celsius, or 73 Fahrenheit. Shoes are not practical on the soft sand, so bring sandals or simply enjoy barefoot freedom.

 Ultimate privacy can be found at Gili Lankanfushi. With just 45 luxurious overwater villas, including Crusoe Residences and The Private Reserve reached only by boat, you’ll have a piece of paradise all to yourself. Each villa is designed with the utmost attention to detail, and built to be environmentally friendly. Your own private water garden and sun deck, as well as a separate shower linked to your bathroom by an open-air walkway allow you to live right by the water’s edge.

 Each villa is traditionally (and sustainably) designed, using thick beams of wood and other natural materials that blend rustic charm with modern comfort.

 Meera means ocean in the Sanskirt language, and glass floor panels beneath the massage tables offer a peek underwater to heighten the sensual experience. The Spa offers a range of holistic therapies, and the signature bamboo massage with warmed aromatic oils presents yet another new encounter. Other facilities include six overwater treatment rooms, a yoga or Tai Chi champa, steam and sauna rooms, as well as a relaxation area with panoramic views of the sea.

 Make yourself comfortable on the massage table, and you’ll be treated to views of underwater life through the glass windows beneath. Aches and knots are magically soothed away, thanks to an artful combination of therapies from all over the world; these draw on the healing wisdom of age-old cultures and are infused with modern know-how to rejuvenate your senses, calm your mind and uplift your soul.
