Gili Lankanfushi is the place dreams are made of. Words don’t really do it justice but I’ll try. This spot is so breathtaking and beautiful. Clear water, rays, fish - spectacular marine life. The food was incredible. We had so many insane meals and had such a special experience in the Japanese restaurant with the tasting menu and sake flight with the sommelier, Ramen who is so knowledgeable and helpful throughout our stay. We also had incredible service from our Ms. Friday, Shaany who was helpful in arranging all things from breakfast in our room, to sunset champagne, surfing, diving, etc. She was so professional and kind. We also loved our time surfing with Tropic Surf and Courtenay & Mikah were fantastic. We had a total blast surfing with them! Gili has an incredible staff/team. So many more wonderful friends we made that worked there and we miss them all. Beautiful island, beautiful people. We hope to go back!

Our stay at the resort was nothing less than memorable and Incredible! Everyone was super friendly and cooperative. The staff is on another level and every detail was taken care of! A true experience to connect to one’s self and nature! Our Ms. Friday Shaany, made our experience even more comfortable. She was very friendly, helpful and attentive. She made our stay special even at the departure by surprising us with a drawing of us on the beach. What a thoughtful gesture! She’s truly a gem! Each and every one of the staff is a part of the lovely experience we had! Gili Lankanfushi is not only a getaway resort, it’s a community that feels like home to its customers and staff. I recommend that you ask for a host tour with the Chief Engineer Majed! You’d see something beyond your imagination! Their self-made and sustainable energy, products, and food is something truly admirable.

I genuinely don’t have the words to describe the level of service at Gili Lankanfushi — it’s unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. The entire resort operates as if they’re always one step ahead of you. Every team member, from the cleaners to the waitstaff to management, communicates so seamlessly that your preferences are remembered instantly and your needs are anticipated before you even voice them. A special thank you to our Mr. Friday, Tesla, who made our honeymoon truly unforgettable. He went above and beyond every single day — from surprising us with a beautifully decorated tub to creating the most thoughtful honeymoon setup in our villa. His warmth, intuition, and responsiveness elevated our stay beyond anything we imagined. We also had an incredible destination dinner on the beach, which I highly recommend. Aslam, our waiter, made the evening feel magical with his attentiveness and kindness. And a special mention to Chef Mainuddin, whose fresh fruit plates each morning became something we genuinely looked forward to. Gili Lankanfushi is more than a resort — it’s a level of care and hospitality that feels almost unreal. We’re already dreaming of coming back.

We stayed at Gili Lankanfushi for our honeymoon, and it was truly the most perfect vacation we could have imagined. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at peace — like we had stepped into another world entirely. The island is stunning, serene, and thoughtfully designed to make you slow down, breathe, and just be. What truly made our experience unforgettable were the people. We formed genuine relationships with the staff who went above and beyond in every way. Every interaction felt warm, personal, and sincere. By the end of the trip, it felt like we were saying goodbye to friends. Shaany, our Friday, completely outdid herself in making us feel at home and celebrated. Interacting with Kuchey and Lolz every day was also a highlight! Our villa was beautiful and private, the food was incredible, and every detail was handled with such intention. We’ve traveled many places, but nothing compares to the level of peace and connection we felt here. Gili Lankanfushi set the bar impossibly high — we left feeling full, rested, and already dreaming of when we can return. If you’re considering it, just book it. It’s magic. Well worth the 22 hour travel, words just can’t describe.

This place is paradise on earth! It’s indescribable and by far the most beautiful place I’ve ever visited. I had the pleasure of proposing to my fiancé here and the Mr Friday Tesla helped all of this dream become a reality. He is by far the nicest human being you will ever meet and is happy to help you at every point of your trip without any complaints. Everyone speaks so highly of him and this is for a very good reason. Here’s to Tesla running the place one day as manager! FIFA for everyone! Not only is this one of the most beautiful places in the world but the way you are treated is phenomenal and attention to detail is sublime. The staff catered so attentively to our dietary requirements and made us feel so comfortable during this stay. Pictures can’t do this place justice and it’s somewhere you really need to go and visit yourself to experience it in full form. Thank you to everyone at Gili who made our trip of a lifetime one to remember. Imogen & Ben ❤️
