Gili Lankanfushi is a luxury boutique eco resort located in the North Malé Atoll, and a 20-minute speedboat ride from Malé.
It is an intimate, sustainable island resort with 45 over water villas.
Emphasising the connection between the land and sea, glass floor panels offer a view of the corals blooming below and rooftop daybeds can be made up for nights spent sleeping beneath the stars.
Its Crusoe Residences are located apart from the main island, in the mid of a lagoon.
The Private Reserve, the largest overwater villa in the world, is located 500m from the main island for complete seclusion.
The island's dedicated marine biology shack will support the work of the two resident marine biologists and partnerships with the Manta Trust and Olive Ridley Project protect vulnerable oceanic species.
