Gili Lankanfushi, Maldives

Looking Back on World Mental Health Day on this Pink October month.

An evening, dedicated to mindfulness, mental wellbeing, and breast cancer awareness.

Surrounded by the tranquillity of the island, we embraced stillness, self-care, and the importance of nurturing both mind and body. Together, we celebrated awareness, compassion, and the power of supporting one another.

Behind every unforgettable dining experience is a chef whose passion, creativity, and dedication bring ingredients to life.

This International Chefs Day, we celebrate the culinary artisans who inspire, innovate, and tell stories through food, transforming nature’s bounty into moments of connection and discovery.

At Gili Lankanfushi, that philosophy comes to life through Plant to Plate, created by Executive Chef Hari Govindaraj in collaboration with Katie Nicholl. Rooted in our commitment to sustainable luxury and conscious living, the cookbook captures the journey from garden and ocean to table through signature recipes, personal stories, and culinary inspirations from our island sanctuary.

Today, we are delighted to announce that pre-orders are now available for collection at Gili Lankanfushi Maldives and for worldwide delivery.

Gili Stands in Pink

This October, we celebrate the season in shades of pink. From the delicate flavours of our Cream Cheese Salmon Avocado Sushi to comforting Yaki Udon dressed in a velvety beetroot sauce, each creation has been thoughtfully crafted to honour Pink October.

Indulge in our Triple Berry & Hibiscus Ice Cream, a vibrant blend of tart berries and creamy sweetness, before ending the evening with the enchanting Faun Fizz, inspired by the magic of a winter forest and crowned with cloud-like foam.

A collection of flavours designed to delight the senses, spark conversation, and support a meaningful cause.

Somewhere between this stretch of white sand, the turquoise lagoon, and the endless horizon beyond, a new chapter begins.

Perhaps it’s the first morning walk beneath the palms. The first glimpse of the lagoon from your villa. The first moment you realise you haven’t looked at the time all day.

At Gili Lankanfushi , life unfolds differently. The ocean becomes your soundtrack. The breeze becomes your reminder to slow down. And the island, surrounded by endless blue, gently encourages you to reconnect with what matters most.

Long after the journey home, it’s not the view you’ll remember most. It’s the way our island sanctuary made you feel.

Some of Gili’s most important stories unfold beneath the surface.

Here, coral fragments are carefully nurtured through the Coral Line Project, helping to restore the foundations of our underwater world. Nearby, seagrass meadows quietly sustain the waters that surround our island, supporting biodiversity and maintaining the delicate balance of the ecosystem.

Together, they shape a hidden world of extraordinary connections, one that shelters, nourishes, and sustains the remarkable marine life that calls these waters home.

Their story is woven into the story of Gili. And protecting it is part of who we are.

Some journeys begin with a destination. Others begin with a return to self.

Our Visiting Practitioner, Sinimol Thomas brings a deeply restorative approach to wellbeing at Gili Lankanfushi until the end of August.

Through the wisdom of Ayurveda, Marma-Puncture, Kalari Chikitsa, Nasyam and therapeutic detox treatments, each experience is thoughtfully designed to restore balance, awaken vitality and nurture harmony between body, mind and spirit.

In our island sanctuary, discover the luxury of slowing down and reconnecting with what truly matters.

This August, the island lingers a little longer.

The afternoon sun calls for something cool and unhurried, with our Ice-cream of month, inspired by the season and best enjoyed with sand between your toes.

As day gently fades into evening, the rhythm shifts. Glasses clink softly at the bar as our Cocktail of the Month is poured, crafted to capture the colours, flavours and spirit of the island in a single sip.

And when the sky turns gold, By the Sea sets the stage for an intimate dining experience where the ocean becomes your backdrop and each dish tells a story of craftsmanship, seasonality and place.

Three experiences. One island. Countless moments to savour.

Some celebrations are best enjoyed slowly. 🇲🇻

A throwback to Maldives Independence Day celebration at Gili Lankanfushi, where local traditions took centre stage, inviting a deeper connection to the culture, heritage, and enduring spirit of the Maldives.

Unfolding at the pace of island life, the day was filled with meaningful moments, shared laughter, and time-honoured customs. No rush. No spectacle. Just a quiet celebration of what matters most.

The Gili way.
