Gastronomic Paradise

During my stay at Gili Lankanfushi, I was blown away by the dining options. Every meal was a delight, with a particularly nice experience at the vegan dinner in the garden prepared by Chef Harry. He sourced most ingredients right from the garden, which made the experience not only delicious but also farm-to-table fresh. The themed dinner nights were a highlight, allowing us to taste a variety of cuisines creatively presented.

Luxurious Hideaway

I stayed in a stunning overwater villa that exceeded all my expectations. The room was spacious and beautifully designed, with floor-to-ceiling windows that took advantage of the amazing views of the ocean. I loved relaxing on the deck and swimming straight off my private section into the crystal-clear waters. It truly felt like a dream come true!

Entertainment Bliss

The experience of watching the sunset from the overwater bar was fantastic. They had a great selection of cocktails that perfectly complemented the gorgeous views. After sunset, I enjoyed some fun evening activities offered at the resort. Between the movie nights and live music, it was a perfect way to unwind after a day full of adventures.

My stay at Gili Lankanfushi was nothing short of magical. The over-water villa was an exquisite sanctuary, and our dedicated 'Mr. Friday', Shazu, made everything so seamless and personal. While the food was exceptional, the dining experience could be slightly improved, perhaps by adding even more variety to the menu. The location is breathtaking, with stunning sunsets and vibrant marine life all around. Overall, I left feeling like I had experienced a slice of paradise, but a broader selection in dining would have made it perfect.
