Ultimate Maldives

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.

Every villa has a catamaran-style net that hangs just above the crystal-clear water. It's hard to imagine a better place to doze!

Villa Suite

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.

Quite unexpectedly but very welcome, Six Senses has an on-site chocolate studio that makes its own delicious truffles with flavours like cinnamon, green tea, lavender and mint mojito.
