Gili Lankanfushi is all about escaping the cares of the world. The 45 overwater Villa Suites and Residences line three jetties that stretch out from the island, ensuring total privacy. Each has a king-size bed, plenty of living space and an open-air bathroom. There is a rooftop sun deck with daybed, an overwater sun deck and dozens of cushions to keep you comfy. Every villa has been designed and constructed with the utmost attention to detail and all have the luxuries that you would expect to find in one of the world's most exclusive resorts. The Private Reserve is the largest overwater presidential suite in the world and comprises five separate buildings over 1,400 square metres.
Visit the overwater Meera Spa where you can choose from a wide range of holistic therapies. Experience a sensual massage, while gazing through the glass floor at the underwater world, or get back to basics with a traditional Maldivian sand massage. Begin a romantic evening with a sunset cruise on a traditional dhoni. Head back to your villa and enjoy an evening under the stars, as you sit out on your private deck sharing a gourmet dinner for two, accompanied by a choice of fine wines from the island's wine cellar. While there are plenty of reasons to relax, there is also plenty to keep you busy. Head out on a dive boat, have a game of tennis or challenge your mind with a game of backgammon.
Perched at the end of the western-facing jetty, the Family Villa offers unrivalled panoramic views of the surrounding seascape and exquisite sunsets. The spacious master bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom plus an outdoor tub and shower area. Two large air-conditioned living rooms provide ample living (and extra sleeping) spaces. There’s also a private gym, steam room and rooftop Jacuzzi. The Family Villa with pool has an L-shaped swimming pool, a private rooftop terrace and a family room at the far end of the villa, which offers endless views of the Indian Ocean.
Standing alone in the middle of a sparkling, turquoise lagoon, 500 metres from the main resort, Gili Lankanfushi’s Private Reserve is the essence of luxury, privacy and seclusion. Sprawled across multi-tiered levels, this rustic-chic fort is the largest overwater villa in the world. Explore its master suites and guest bedrooms as well as its collection of open-plan living and dining spaces. Be amazed by the infinity swimming pool, spacious sundecks, couple’s spa pavilion with a sauna and steam room, air-conditioned gymnasium, cinema, bar and even a water slide that runs from the Private Reserve’s top deck into the sea. A private boat is yours to come and go as you please – most people, however, never find the need to leave.
