Gili Lankanfushi

Luxurious eco-resort in the Maldives, renowned for its overwater villas, barefoot philosophy, and stunning natural beauty

Gili Lankanfushi

Nestled in the pristine waters of the North Malé Atoll, Gili Lankanfushi is an award-winning luxury resort in the Maldives, renowned for its seamless harmony with nature and outstanding service. Just a 20-minute speedboat ride from Malé International Airport, this secluded paradise offers guests a chance to slow down and embrace barefoot living as a true way of life.

The resort features a collection of spacious overwater villas crafted from sustainable materials, combining rustic elegance with modern comforts. With only 45 exclusive villas—including the world’s largest overwater residence—privacy and tranquility are guaranteed. Each villa boasts panoramic ocean views, direct access to the turquoise lagoon, and a dedicated Mr./Ms. Friday personal host to attend to every need.

Sustainability lies at the core of Gili Lankanfushi’s philosophy, reflected in its organic gardens, eco-friendly architecture, and marine conservation efforts. Guests can indulge in gourmet dining under the stars with locally sourced cuisine or unwind at the Meera Spa, perched above the waves and offering holistic treatments inspired by the island’s natural beauty.

Whether snorkeling vibrant coral reefs, enjoying a sunset dolphin cruise, or simply relaxing in a hammock over the water, Gili Lankanfushi provides an unforgettable experience that reconnects guests with nature, loved ones, and themselves.

More than just a vacation, it’s a soulful escape into barefoot luxury, timeless beauty, and genuine hospitality.
