In the North Malé Atoll, the tiny coral island paradise of Gili Lankanfushi is an easy 20-minute boat ride from Malé international airport and yet provides a true retreat from everyday life. The epitome of barefoot luxury, the resort has a real castaway feel with an intimate charm, perfect for couples, particularly honeymooners. Exquisite cuisine uses much from the extensive organic garden and includes casual beachside dining on pristine white sand beaches beside sparkling turquoise waters. Gili Lankanfushi has achieved EarthCheck Gold Certification, one of just three Maldives resorts to have this accolade, recognizing its long-standing commitment to sustainability.
Rustic-style villas, some with private plunge pool, are exclusively overwater. All have been built from sustainable and recycled materials and feature distinct areas for sleeping, lounging, and swimming, allowing guests the maximum personal space to relax and unwind. For a true sense of space, choose a Crusoe Residence, only reachable by boat. The Private Reserve - the world’s largest stand-alone overwater villa - is perfect for families or a group of friends. Complete with multi-level living, spa, infinity pool, gym, cinema and a slide that drops into the sea. The overwater spa offers personalized therapies from around the world, while marine activities galore provide a touch of adventure – from guided snorkeling on the house reef or learning to paddle board in the sheltered lagoon, to surfing some of the Maldives finest surf breaks just a short dhoni boat ride away.

United Arab Emirates & Maldives
This trip has been one of the most enjoyable trips my wife and I have ever been on. Without question one of the smoothest travel experiences I've had. Dave and the Mahlatini crew know what they're doing. It was super helpful to us that the team coordinated/hired folks at each destination to help us…
We could not have asked for a better trip, it was literally perfect! Going to another country can be a bit intimidating and Jessica had everything planned so we could be worry-free. From the time we got off the plane and had someone waiting for us till the time we checked our bags to come back home…
