Culinary Delights

The dining options at Gili Lankanfushi blew me away! Every meal was a treat, especially the breakfast buffet which had an very nice variety, including a unique smashed avocado station where you could customize your toppings. The culinary creativity didn’t go unnoticed, with nice theme nights like Mediterranean and Indian Tandoor that truly showcased executive chef Hari's passion for his craft. The dining experiences added a special touch to my stay.

Relaxation Paradise

I indulged in some treatments at the Meera Spa, and I must say, they are among the best I've ever experienced. The setting is stunning, surrounded by lush greenery, and my therapist, Esther, provided a massage that left me feeling completely rejuvenated. The spa’s tranquility helped enhance my overall relaxation during my stay.

Luxury Villas

I stayed in an overwater lagoon villa that was a dream come true. With unblocked ocean views and a spacious layout perfect for a family, it was exactly as described on the website. The semi-outdoor shower was particularly nice, giving me a unique experience amidst nature. I loved how thoughtfully the villa was designed, focusing on sustainability without compromising on luxury.

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.
