The Private Reserve

The largest standalone overwater villa in the world

Set in the middle of a sparkling, turquoise lagoon, Gili Lankanfushi’s Private Reserve is the ultimate in privacy, sophistication, and seclusion. Sprawled across multi-level tiers, this rustic-chic fort of dreams is where you can live out your wildest dreams. Step inside the expansive villa and explore its sophisticated open-air interiors and amenities: an infinity swimming pool, spacious sundecks, a couple’s spa pavilion with a sauna and steam room, an air-conditioned gymnasium, cinema, bar, and even a water slide that drops into the sea. A private boat is yours to come and go as you please—most people, however, never find the excuse to leave.
