Gili Lankanfushi Maldives

If you’re in a hurry to slow down then this is the place for you, with just a short speedboat journey separating you from the airport and your hammock. On arrival you’ll be wowed by the super-sized overwater villas, dazzled by the picture-perfect views and thoroughly spoiled by your dedicated villa host, your very own Mr (or Ms) Friday.

All 45 villas sit above the water on stilts. Several have their own pool, and all have a private deck with direct access to the turquoise waters of the lagoon. Dining is exceptional and includes Lankanfushi’s organic garden, which produces the freshest of locally-sourced recipes across the resort, while By The Sea specialises in sushi, sashimi and teppanyaki dishes. As with almost everything else, the Meera Spa is suspended above the water, and the treatment rooms even have glass flooring so that you can see the fish swimming below during your treatment. There’s also daily sunrise yoga classes, reiki, meditation and crystal healing as well as tennis courts, a surf shack offering private lessons, a dive centre, jungle cinema and dedicated marine biology lab. 

7 Nights from £4,819

per person on Half Board, return flights, transfers, and access to a UK airport lounge.

Airport Transfer

20 minute speedboat transfer. 

Location

On a private island in the North Malé Atoll, just a short 20-minute speedboat transfer from Malé international airport.

Accommodation

All 45 villas sit above the water on stilts, and range in size from ‘extremely large’ to ‘jaw-droppingly enormous’. Several have their own pool, and all have a private deck with direct access to the turquoise waters of the lagoon. The colour palette of warm, neutral tones is offset by vibrant turquoise Maldivian fabrics, and every piece of furniture has been custom-made by skilled artisans using upcycled materials. In-villa facilities include satellite TV with movies on-demand, Bose entertainment system, WiFi, Nespresso machine, mini bar, in-room safe, air conditioning and bamboo bicycles to get around the resort. The Family Villa has access to its own private island, while the Crusoe Residences are accessible only by boat, which you can either pilot yourself or have your dedicated villa host attend to. The Private Reserve is the largest overwater villa in the world at over 1,700 square metres, and consists of five buildings linked by open-air walkways, with everything from your own open-air cinema to a waterslide that drops you straight into the lagoon!

Restaurants And Bars

Lankanfushi’s organic garden produces salad leaves, herbs, fruit and vegetables for the freshest of locally-sourced recipes across the resort, and the culinary offering is impressive for such a boutique retreat. Kashiveli is right on the beach, showcasing flavours from destinations as diverse as Sardinia, Turkey and Indonesia, while By The Sea specialises in sushi, sashimi and teppanyaki dishes. Enjoy sundowners and canapés while reef sharks and rays swim beneath your feet at the Overwater Bar, or escape the heat for a wine, cheese or chocolate tasting session in the cool stone cellar. Your ‘Friday’ can organise a special lantern-lit dinner or a private sunset cruise with Champagne on ice, and in-villa dining is also available.

Barbados

"There’s an unexpectedly relaxed and friendly atmosphere at Sandy Lane - A-list celebrities and first-time guests receive the same warm Bajan welcome, and star treatment comes as standard from Sandy Lane’s wonderful staff. All Caribtours guests staying at Sandy Lane benefit from a complimentary VIP arrival service at Barbados airport."

"The elaborate beachside Sunday Brunch at Bajan Blue is an absolute must, as are the spectacular buffet evenings."

"Sandy Lane is a great choice for families, especially during the summer holidays when the resort offers an action-packed Summer Sports Camp for 7-16 yr olds."

"The Villa at Sandy Lane was relaunched in November 2024 and we are excited about the new look. After undergoing an extensive refurbishment, all five ensuite bedrooms and the spacious living, dining and entertaining areas have been refreshed with stunning soft furnishings. In addition, the pool and pool deck were completely redone; there’s a new pagoda style building for the ultimate in outside relaxation and lovely, newly transformed, landscaping surrounds The Villa."
