Gili Lankanfushi, one of the Maldives’ most beloved resorts, is welcoming UAE families to farewell the summer months with a well-deserved island escape, including 20% off all villa rates with complimentary half-board upgrades. Perfect for families of all shapes and sizes, the unique eco-resort features a range of family-friendly villa categories including the largest overwater villa in the world as well as plenty of activities for adults and little ones alike.

Surrounded by the glistening waters of the Indian Ocean, Gili Lankanfushi prides itself on its sustainable ethos and commitment to ‘barefoot luxury’ – ideal for families wanting a more relaxed, fuss-free holiday. Just a 20-minute speedboat ride from Malé’s Velana International Airport, families with little ones can arrive and depart the island with ease, avoiding the need for a sea plane. Each of the 45 overwater villas comes with a dedicated Man or Woman Friday, lovingly named after Robinson Crusoe’s loyal assistant and dear friend, who will cater to every wish and need at any time of day.

With rates starting from $2,771++ for a two-bedroom Family Villa spanning 350m2 or $3381++ for a Family Villa with Pool, families can truly make Gili Lankanfushi their island home, complete with a private gym, rooftop jacuzzi and exclusive access to a three-palm island for private picnics or relaxation in the cabana. Making the most of Gili Lankanfushi’s natural playground, parents, children and loved ones can spend their days exploring the vibrant underwater world, cooking in the organic garden, surfing nearby waves or sampling locally sourced cuisine. A range of guided excursions will also give guests a chance to discover what lies beyond the resort.

For those looking to make it a full family affair, The Private Reserve is the quintessence of luxury and privacy, a magical hideaway for extended families in need of plenty of space. Standing alone in the middle of a breath-taking lagoon, this record-breaking villa features one ensuite master suite, one duplex master suite with two bedrooms and a fourth ensuite bedroom, comfortably sleeping eight adults with ample room for extra children or perhaps a nanny. Sprawled across multi-tiered levels, The Private Reserve includes an infinity pool, couple’s spa pavilion with sauna and steam room, gym, cinema, bar and of course, a firm guest favourite – a waterslide that runs from the top deck straight into the turquoise waters below.

Ensuring adults get their much-needed relaxation time, kids can enjoy a chaperoned yoga session, wild art class or kids-only Pirate Party while their parents unwind at the resort’s Meera Spa or enjoy a romantic destination dinner. For an experience for the entire family to remember, beds can be made up on the villa’s decks for a magical ‘sleeping under the stars’ experience – a wonderful way to end a stay with Gili Lankanfushi where you will arrive as guests, leave as friends and return as family.

Rates at Gili Lankanfushi start from USD $2771++ per night in a Family Villa and $3381++ in a Family Villa with Pool.
