Welcome to The Maldives
Welcome to The Maldives
Unrivalled luxury, stunning white-sand beaches and an amazing underwater world make Maldives an obvious choice for a true holiday of a lifetime.
Unbelievable Beaches
Maldives is home to perhaps the best beaches in the world; they’re on almost every one of the country’s nearly 1200 islands and are so consistently perfect that it’s hard not to become blasé about them. While some beaches may boast softer granules than others, the basic fact remains: you won't find consistently whiter-than-white powder sand and luminous cyan-blue water like this anywhere else on earth. This fact alone is enough to bring well over a million people a year to this tiny, remote Indian Ocean paradise.
Resorts for Everyone
Every resort in Maldives is its own private island, and with over 100 to choose from the only problem is selecting where you want to stay. At the top end, the world’s most exclusive hotel brands compete with each other to attain ever-greater heights of luxury, from personal butlers and private lap pools to in-room massages and pillow menus. It’s not surprising that honeymooners and those seeking a glamorous tropical getaway have long had the country at the very top of their wish lists. But there’s also plenty of choice beyond the five- and six-star resorts.
Independent Travel
Maldives has undergone seismic change in the past 10 years, since inhabited islands have been opened to tourism and locals permitted to build their own guesthouses. Travelers no longer have to stay in resorts and remain separate from the local population, something that kept backpackers away for decades. Island hopping by public ferry, speedboat and domestic flights has opened up this incredible country to visitors on almost all budgets. A number of islands in Male and Ari atolls are now big centers for a booming guesthouse industry, with dozens of options on each.
Underwater World
With some of the best diving and snorkeling in the world, the clear waters of Maldives are a magnet for anyone with an interest in marine life. The richness and variety is astonishing; dazzling coral walls, magnificent caves and schools of brightly colored tropical fish await you when you get down to the reef. In deeper waters lurk manta rays, turtles, sharks and even the world’s largest fish, the whale shark. The best bit? The water is so warm many people don’t even wear a wetsuit.

Upon your arrival in Male's International Airport, you will be greeted by our fabulous team on the ground who will invite you to meet a Gili Lankanfushi representative, take your luggage and drive you over to your Speedboat to enjoy a gorgeous journey across the Indian Ocean to your resort!
Gili Lankanfushi for 7 nights
Gili Lankanfushi for 7 nights
The beautiful Gili Lankanfushi is an absolutely stunning property in the idyllic Maldives. Voted the best hotel in the world in TripAdvisor's 2015 Travellers' Choice Awards, every suite is exceptionally appointed and all over water. Excellent snorkeling can be found in the resort's lagoon and you can learn from the resident marine biologist. Gili Lankanfushi's main restaurant is found on the sand whilst you'll find the overwater Meera Spa has massage tables which offer views through a glass floor to the crystal blue waters below.
Your room: Villa Suite
Your Villa Suite hideaway is perfect for honeymooners and couples just wanting some downtime in sheer luxury. Spread across two floors, each boasts an open-air living room, a spacious bathroom, and a private rooftop terrace from which you can take in the sights. With direct ocean access, spend your days swimming and snorkelling around the coral gardens at the base of your sundeck. At night, lounge on catamaran nets while spotting shooting stars.

Faultless Services @ Gili Lankanfushi
The service is in the name, it really is faultless – hence why this incredible resort has been named one of the top lux resorts in the whole of the Maldives. Not only do you have your own butler to look after you throughout your stay, but the rest of the staff will also soon feel like old friends.
Enjoy a ray of activities (pardon the pun!) including your classic Maldives adventure such as snorkelling, diving & watersports, but also the additional touches and extras that you can't experience on your average Maldives resort, the list can go on!
DIVING
Delve into the Maldives’ theatrical underwater world at Gili Lankanfushi’s Ocean Paradise Dive Centre, a PADI-certified outlet that’s been recognized as one of the most environmentally responsible dive centres in Asia. Many renowned dive sites are at their doorstep: Banana, HP, Rainbow Reef, Okobe Thila, Maagiri, and Manta Point.

You can even join a science dive to collect data for the likes of SharkWatch and the Manta Trust!
SNORKELLING
Slip on a snorkelling mask and a pair of fins and head to the 15-metre drop-off zone at the edge of our house reef. There, discover vibrant coral walls inhabited by small sharks and colourful schools of fish, turtles, and rays. Their resident marine biologist can help you identify the array of aquatic life on guided trips, departing day and night, and explain the significance of their coral line projects and other underwater initiatives.
WATERSPORTS
Name your adventure, whether it’s windsurfing, kayaking, canoeing, catamaran sailing, or paddle-boarding—we offer it! Our blue lagoon is the perfect place to hone your moves, gain speed, and witness a dazzling underwater display of colourful aquatic life and healthy reefs. Need a lesson? They are more than happy to help you brush up on your skills. If you crave more motion in the ocean, they can also arrange wakeboarding, waterskiing, tubing, and private speed boat adventures.
SURFING WITH TROPICSURF
Surf’s up at Gili Lankanfushi. That's right! Ideally located in the North Malé atoll, Gili puts guests within striking distance of some of the best surf breaks in the country, three of which are just a five-minute boat ride away (and many more within 20 minutes). Tropical water temperatures, consistent swells, and light crowds only add to the appeal. They've teamed up with the experienced instructors at luxury surf company Tropicsurf to offer an array of lessons and surf trips, tailored to guests of all experience levels, from beginners and intermediate surfers to expert wave warriors.
TENNIS WITH A PRO
Work on your serve and perfect your backhand in a glorious outdoor setting shaded by towering palms. Whether you’re new to the game or an expert player, our tennis coach can provide instruction and helpful pointers for all levels. In partnership with Tipsarevic Luxury Tennis, our lessons are a great way to improve your game.
EXCURSIONS
Picture gliding through turquoise waters as hundreds of resident spinner dolphins swim by. Or reeling in large tuna and billfish as an experienced captain and crew cheer you on. At Gili Lankanfushi, we offer an extensive range of guided excursions for guests looking to explore what lies beyond our resort. Discover the markets, mosques, and minarets of Maldives’ capital city, Malé. Take a trip to Huraa, a tiny local island situated 20 minutes north of the resort and known for its its exquisite handcrafts. You can get another perspective on the sights by soaring above the archipelago’s spectacular atolls in a seaplane. This is just a taste of the experiences on the menu—we can’t wait to see what you discover!
GILI GOES VOYAGING
Sail the Indian Ocean on our luxury 14-metre Riviera yacht. Climb on board for a whale shark watching trip, a fishing excursion, or sunset dolphin cruise. Enjoy exclusive transfers to the airport, a private desert island picnic or explore atolls further away. With an en-suite master cabin, two smaller berths and full catering service on board, there’s no finer way to travel.
COOKING CLASS
The ultimate souvenir? Learning a few recipes to bring home with you! Sign up for a cooking class and whip up traditional Maldivian fish curry, sushi rolls, and other favourites of our menus. With the basic preparations already done, guests will spend their time bringing unique flavours to life under the direction of a specialist chef (and, of course, enjoying the fruits of their labour).

As one of the island nation's very finest hotels, you can expect nothing less than exquisite when it comes to dining at Six Senses. Home to six bars and restaurants, you know you will be spoilt for choice, so save your pennies for this expensive but worth-it dining experience they offer here!
Vegetables and herbs are grown on-site where possible and, if you don't mind munching on fish you may well have seen earlier in the day around the reef, the seafood is first rate. The Chill Bar is the best spot to take in the epic sunsets, Leaf offers the finest dining options, and Longitude – a great spot for catching a glimpse of dolphins – serves sprawling breakfasts. Perhaps best of all, there's a bottomless ice cream stand with more than 40 flavours on offer.

Experiences @ Six Senses
Experiences @ Six Senses
Explore uninhabited islands, go island hopping, meet the locals and relax on secluded sandbanks. Snorkel in the coral-rich house reef rubbing fins with colourful fish. Dive the deep blue as early birds or night owls. Surf the Yin Yang. Or just hang. There is something for everyone during their stay at Six Senses, and one that always remains in lux style!
Some wonderful experiences that are additional to the classic Maldives activities are:
RECONNECT WITH NATURE
Start the day with our team of Marine Biologists at the Maldives Underwater Initiative (MUI) for a snorkel on the house reef or seagrass meadows. In the afternoon join the MUI team for a land-based citizen science workshop where you might identify turtles with the Olive Ridley Project or manta rays with the Manta Trust. For sunset, board the top deck of one of our dive boats to meet the local dolphins on their daily commute. Finish the day with a barbecue on the beach where you will dine on fresh reef fish caught sustainably by the local fishermen of Laamu atoll.
SUNSET & DOLPHIN CRUISE
Beautiful, intelligent animals that have held fascination for centuries, dolphins often make their way through Laamu atoll at sunrise and sunset. Guests frequently witness playful dolphins spinning and diving alongside the boat. On the return voyage, sit back and watch the vibrant colors change in the sky with your on-board marine biologist to give insights on the atoll's underwater life.
DESERTED ISLAND PICNIC
Your private island lies a 40 minutes speedboat ride away! Our chefs have prepared your picnic basket including light lunch, dessert and a bottle of wine that you can enjoy under the shade of the coconut trees. Grab your snorkeling gear to explore the surrounding lagoon or simply relax on comfortable sun loungers on the beach. An experience for families or a romantic getaway for couples.
CINEMA UNDER THE STARS
A true Six Senses experience is one that is unexpected. Relax on a sun lounger with the palms rustling in the breeze. Enjoy their state-of-the-art surround-sound system, along with homemade popcorn. Scheduled screenings take place three times a week, but should you wish to have a more private experience, screenings can also be arranged for couples, families or groups.
Wellness @ Six Senses Laamu
