ONE OF THE MALDIVES’ MOST EXCLUSIVE RESORTS
Just 20 minutes by boat from Malé, the tiny coral island of Lankanfushi is the setting for Gili Lankanfushi, one of the Maldives’ most exclusive resorts.
A network of wooden walkways thread out from the island across the sparkling waters of the lagoon to 44 stilted, over-water Villa Suites and Residences all of which define the Soneva philosophy of ‘intelligent splendour’.
THE EPITOME OF LUXURY IN THE INDIAN OCEAN
Crafted in traditional style from natural materials, each of these very spacious villas boasts an open air bathroom with bath and separate shower, quadraphonic hi-fi with television and VCD and two private sundecks, one rooftop and one cantilevered just above the water, with sumptuous daybeds. For the ultimate in privacy and only accessible by boat, there are also seven Crusoe Residences and the 1400m² Private Reserve – the epitome of luxury in the Indian Ocean.

The destinations were fabulous, but what really stood out was the care and patience Tania showed as she guided me and my sister through every question and hesitation. Nothing felt rushed or too much trouble. The result? A truly wonderful holiday. Thank you.
