Set on the private island of Lankanfushi in the North Malé Atoll, Gili Lankanfushi™, Maldives is an intimate coral island in a sparkling lagoon, with jetties threading across the water out to spacious villa accommodations, where ultimate privacy can be found and where Gili stories with lasting memories are made. A place where you arrive as a guest, leave as a friend and return as family. This luxury resort is just a 20-minute speedboat ride from Velana International Airport at Malé, the capital of the Republic of Maldives. Here your idyllic personal hideaway is one of our 45 spacious, rustic overwater villas crafted from natural wood and glass. A palette of sparkling blues paints the horizon, the ocean stretching to infinity wherever you gaze. The open design, with indoor and outdoor living space, allows you the freedom to be yourself, the sounds of the sea and warm breeze soothing all senses. No noise, no distraction and a private, exclusive home that has to be seen to be believed. Simply kick back and relax in our island of no news and no shoes, our very own Mr. or Ms. Friday – so named after Robinson Crusoe’s loyal assistant and friend, a companion who will show you the way around the island and set you off on an amazing adventure right here. Available 24 hours a day, your Mr. or Ms. Friday, will be delighted to help arrange excursions, spa appointments, sunset cruises, restaurant reservations and even help pack or unpack your luggage. Parents will be pleased to know that Mr. or Ms. Friday can also keep the little ones entertained with storytelling and craft sessions.
