An extraordinary island adventure awaits you at the incomparable Gili Lankanfushi, voted Best Hotel in the World at the 2015 Traveller's Choice Awards. Truly in a class of its own, it uniquely manages to combine palatial luxury with genuine simplicity, along with a real commitment to sustainability and conservation of the world's resources. Setting out to provide a once-in-a-lifetime experience, it features everything you look for in a paradise holiday retreat - picture-perfect beaches and scenery, unbeatable levels of service, exquisite cuisine, and accommodation that is out of this world.
The relaxed, unpretentious vibe that permeates the resort is embodied in its slogan "No News, No Shoes", designed to ensure you leave your cares and worries behind. It starts on the boat transfer from Malé, when you are encouraged to remove your shoes and place them in the tote bag provided -- many guests spend their entire holiday barefoot. You are met on arrival by your personal Mr or Ms Friday, who will attend to your every need, desire and whim during your stay, and you are given a bicycle each, to get around the island.
Every meal at this resort is something special, with all food sourced from the island's organic garden and local fisherman, and prepared by top chefs from around the world. From the vast, stunning champagne beach breakfasts at the Main Restaurant on the sand, to the nightly themed dinners such as Mediterranean Spice Souk and Asian Street Market, or the exclusive and intimate Japanese-Peruvian fusion dining at By-The-Sea, at the top of a big thatched Roof House, you are assured of an endless journey of all the senses.
The Destination Dining venues are no less magical, and include the unique underground wine cellar and chocolate cave down a spiral staircase -- as well as gourmet dining round a driftwood tree-trunk table, there are wine-and-chocolate or wine-and-cheese tastings with a sommelier. The 360 Table is on an elevated platform in the midst of the coconut palm jungle, and Lagoon Champa is a beautiful pavilion right out in the lagoon and reachable only by boat, perfect for an intimate dinner. Or the boat can take you even further, to One Palm Island, the resort's own private island for a really special occasion
