Hotel · North Malé Atoll, Maldives
Gili Lankanfushi is home to the world's largest overwater villa — the Private Reserve, a standalone residence with five bedrooms, a private pool, and a personal butler. The resort's 45 villas are built from reclaimed wood and bamboo, with a sustainability programme that has made it the most environmentally responsible resort in the Maldives. The no-shoes, no-news policy creates an atmosphere of complete disconnection.
