Guided by our core belief, Keeping Nature Natural, the Gili Lankanfushi team united with our neighbours in Himmafushi for World Cleanup Day 2025 – a heartfelt effort to care for our environment and strengthen the bonds that connect us.

Last month, our lagoon became the stage for a special encounter—a female spotted eagle ray, followed closely by a train of males in a graceful courtship display. A rare moment in nature, quietly unfolding just beneath the surface..

These big lumps of jelly are totally harmless to humans but can still pack a powerful punch when it comes to their prey.

The Maldives is home to the largest population of Manta Rays in the world with over 4900 individuals having been identified through the Manta Trust.

If you’re lucky, on a quiet, still morning in the lagoon at Gili Lankanfushi, you might be able to spot the glittering silhouettes of the bigfin reef squid (Sepioteuthis lessoniana).

One of the biggest survival challenges faced by all types of organism across all the planet’s ecosystems, is to not get eaten.

Gili Lankanfushi’s Marine Biology and Sustainability team hosted a week of Ocean-related activities, workshops and presentations for guests and hosts in celebration of World Ocean’s Week!

Here at Gili Lankanfushi we are constantly in the process of maintaining our Coral Lines Project in the lagoon.

In the final week of April, we experienced an unusual and little-known phenomenon while snorkeling on our house reef – a salp bloom.
