Trip details

From the privacy of a coastal shelf in the North Malé Atoll, awash with lapping turquoise waves, Gili is a resort set almost entirely on water. Some villas are completely untethered to the mainland and come with their own boat to zip across the lagoon! Pass darting schools of fish as you stroll across the timber walkways to a breakfast on the sand and follow in the fins of dolphins as they leave the atoll to find dinner at sunset. At Gili Lankanfushi there are a bevvy of features that set the resort apart - from a private water garden at your villa to themed dinners from across the globe and days spent in the care of your private butler.

Gili Lankanfushi Maldives is just located 20 minutes from Male International Airport by speedboat.

From Gili Lankanfushi, the North Malé Atoll is your oyster and there are plenty of ways to explore its coral-ringed waters. Visit one of the many diving sites to swim amongst butterfly fish, eagle rays and the endangered green sea turtle. Cruise the waters in search of whale sharks, picnic on a deserted island and hit the waves with watersports of every kind - from windsurfing to wakeboarding. Learn about the resort's conservation efforts at the marine biology shack, catch a movie at the jungle cinema or soar above the islands in a seaplane.

The balmy waters of the Laamu Atoll are remote to begin with and Six Sense happens to be the only resort for miles. Strung between swaying palms, there are plenty of hammocks to snooze in and homemade ice cream makes a lovely accompaniment to strolls along the beachfront. The villas have tons of island chic with sunken glass bathtubs over the lagoon and rooftop sun decks. Take to the water on a boat trip to nearby manta ray hangouts or watch the sunset from a private sandbank, cocktail in hand. By night, catch a movie at the jungle cinema or make the most of the lucid sky with an evening of stargazing.

Six Senses Laamu is just located 35 minutes from Male International Airport by domestic flight, followed by a 15 minute speedboat ride to the Resort.

Six Senses is the only dive resort around so you'll easily have diving sites all to yourself, including the famous Hithadhoo Corner where more than 120 manta rays reside. Join the resort's marine biologist on an educational snorkelling excursion or cast your line from a traditional Maldivian fishing boat. Sail to a nearby island and enjoy a hike to the lake at its centre or park under a palm for lunch. Enjoy the water surrounding the resort with water skiing, kayaking and kite surfing.
