Inspection record

Where we've been, and when

We don't recommend islands we haven't walked. This is the record. Every entry is a real visit, usually Amosha, sometimes both of us, always with a mask and fins in the bag. The photos are from our phones. If a resort has changed since we were last there, this page tells you how long ago that was, so you can weigh what we say accordingly.

Gili Lankanfushi

North Male Atoll

Gili Lankanfushi

Our third visit to Gili Lankanfushi never gets old. This tiny island captivates with pristine beach sand and hand-crafted wooden villas that feel authentically Maldivian—not concrete-heavy like many resorts. The overwater villas are stunning hideaways with thatched roofs and lagoon views perfect for doing absolutely nothing. What truly sets Gili apart is its barefoot, laid-back soul. Warm hospitality, exceptional cuisine, and lush, unpolished beauty create an intimate escape that feels refreshingly different from typical luxury resorts.
