Maldives Magic

After landing in Male, enjoy the 20-minute speedboat transfer to Gili Lankanfushi - the quintessential Maldives resort, known for its ‘no news, no shoes’ philosophy. Leave your worries and cares at home as nothing else will matter once you feel the sand between your toes. You’ll stay in a sprawling Villa Suite, perched over the idyllic waters of a turquoise lagoon ensuring easy access to that picture-postcard water. Enjoy your morning coffee as you watch the sunrise from the comfort of a netted hammock on your oversized terrace, and when evening falls, don’t forget to ask Mr.Friday (your personal host) to transform your upstairs terrace into a dreamy outdoor bedroom so you can sleep under the stars.

Enjoy a morning yoga session, or just meditate in the tranquil surroundings. Later on, don a snorkel and mask or scuba gear at the PADI certified dive center to explore the underwater world, or if you love riding the waves, some of the Maldives most popular surf breaks are nearby. Post activity, try a divine beverage from the overwater bar’s cocktail menu, before taking advantage of the delicious culinary delights waiting at the island’s restaurants, then settling back to watch a movie under the stars in the jungle cinema. Gili Lankanfushi promises to bring your island dreams to life.

After a short boat ride back to Male, transfer to a seaplane for the incredible 45-minute scenic flight over the turquoise sea, en route to the next chapter of your magical Maldives experience. At JOALI Maldives, you will be met by the warm and friendly smiles and the sounds of traditional Bodu Beru drums. Minutes later, you’re in your dreamy Water Villa with Pool, suspended over some of the most incredible blue waters on the planet. A private infinity-edged pool and perfectly positioned daybeds and hammocks suspended over the lagoon instantly draw you outside. Anything you wish is possible here, just ask your jadugar (the local Dhivehi word for magician), and they are there ready to make your every wish possible. Here, a seamless stay is guaranteed.

There is a lot to do when not relaxing in your hammock, or diving into the blue. Go for a cycle around the island, have a game of paddle tennis or embrace your creative side at the Art Studio. Take a guided snorkelling tour with the resort’s Marine Biologist and enjoy spotting the resident turtles.

When the sun sets on another day of joy in paradise, Mura Bar is the place to be, with a G&T in hand, the resident DJ spinning cool beach vibes in the background, and that glorious sun melting into the Indian Ocean. The best part? You get to wake up tomorrow and do it all again!
