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.

Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
