This was our second time in the Maldives, having been slightly underwhelmed by our stay at Huvafen Fushi last year.

My partner and I honeymooned here in late November/early December 2011 (while the resort was still Six Senses) in a Crusoe Residence. It was definitely the most expensive hotel we'd ever booked (even with a 4-nights-for-the-price-of-3 deal), so I wondered whether it would live up to the hype. I'm happy to say it did! The resort's eco-awareness was a big... More

We couldn't have been happier with choosing Gili for our honeymoon. The Crusoe residence brings the meaning of staying on the water to a new level. The house on the water provides exceptional beauty and tranquility; the occasional boat passing or the proximity to the small local island nearby didn't create as much distraction as posted in other reviews.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Gili Lankanfushi, Maldives is a short 20 minute boat ride from Male, the capital of the Maldives.It is a tiny coral island in a sparkling lagoon, with jetties threading across the water out to spacious villas. The forty-four stilted villas plus the vast Private Reserve are crafted in a traditional style from natural materials and offer roof-top and over-water sundecks, featuring open air bathrooms, sumptuous daybeds and a personal entertainment center. For ultimate privacy, we have seven Crusoe Residences that are only accessible by personal boat. Come ashore for some great dining and equally great wines or perhaps a romantic moonlit dinner delivered right to the villa. The possibilities are endless.The interior decoration has been devised to recreate a natural habitat, using sustainable woods, natural materials and traditional fabrics, whilst still offering all the modern day amenities and creature comforts of true luxury. At Gili Lankanfushi, Maldives we are very sensitive to the environment. The utmost care has been taken in developing the island with respect to its ecological balance.The Maldives is a paradise for snorkeling and diving and the resort has its own fully -equipped PADI diving school plus a variety of water sports. This place tops the list of must-do destinations for those in the know. ... more   less
