Resort Description

Gangehi Island Resort & Spa is an exclusive retreat nestled on a small private island in the Maldives, where untouched nature and luxury blend seamlessly.

Surrounded by lush tropical vegetation, white sandy beaches, and a crystal-clear sea, the island is protected by its own coral reef, creating a serene and pristine environment. Coconut palms line the shore, while the turquoise waters invite relaxation and exploration.

Accommodations are designed to offer maximum comfort and privacy, with attention to detail that enhances the natural beauty of the surroundings.

Dining options feature two distinctive restaurants. Veli, the main restaurant, offers a relaxed beachfront setting with buffet-style Mediterranean cuisine and weekly themed evenings celebrating Italian and Maldivian flavours. Thari, an à la carte restaurant, provides a more refined dining experience, perfect for romantic dinners, with open kitchen service and a focus on fresh seafood, including lobster and prawns.

Kandu Bar, located beside the main restaurant, is open throughout the day and offers a wide selection of cocktails, wines, beers, and spirits.

The Ginger Spa offers a sanctuary of wellness, with treatments designed to relax and rejuvenate, complementing the tranquil ambiance of the island.

Gangehi Island Resort & Spa is a unique destination where every moment is crafted for those seeking peace, beauty, and luxury in the heart of the Maldives.
