The Best Hotel in the World 2015 – The Maldives Location
The Maldives has always been renowned for its incandescent natural beauty. The ocean glows a unique shade of blue to match the huge expanses of pure sunny sky, complemented by fine white sand below your toes. It is not surprising that The Best Hotel in the World 2015 is situated in the Maldives – the situation is undoubtedly a huge component of the overall appeal of Gili Lankanfushi Luxury Maldives Resort.
The Maldives is known as a popular choice for honeymooners and couples looking for a romantic getaway. We voted The Maldives as our Top Holiday Destination 2014 for good reason. As a tropical location, the weather in The Maldives is hardly ever disappointing. There are two distinct seasons (a dry season and a wet season), although when it rains it is usually for short bursts, and makes for a fresher atmosphere in an hour or so. Average temperatures range around 30 degrees Celsius throughout the year, so a warm holiday is pretty much guaranteed when you choose The Maldives!
The Maldives is a fantastic location for those who like to participate in water sports such as scuba-diving, snorkelling, fishing, kayaking and more. As a destination concerned with sustainable travel, The Maldives has many marine centres to educate visitors and even give the opportunity to contribute to the conservation efforts! Gili Lankanfushi itself has it's own PADI diving centre!

The Best Hotel in the World 2015 – Gili Lankanfushi Resort
Although Gili Lankanfushi’s location in the Maldives is a great component of what makes the resort The Best Hotel in the World 2015, it would be inaccurate to attribute too much credit to the location alone. The facilities, accommodation, services and other amenities are second-to-none.
There are various exquisite dining facilities and experiences at Gili Lankanfushi that your personal butler – Mr. or Ms. Friday – will be delighted to arrange for you. For example, have a private picnic on the sandbank for a romantic luncheon for two, or head to the resort’s main restaurant for a wide selection of excellent cuisine. For more specific tastes and demanding palates, you can try By The Sea restaurant which adventurously fuses Peruvian and Japanese cuisine with freshly caught fish from the Indian Ocean!
Gili Lankanfushi does relaxation like no-one else. The Spa at The Best Hotel in the World 2015 is named ‘Meera’, meaning ‘ocean’ in Sanskrit. Unsurprisingly then, you can look out into the beautiful ocean through glass panels in the spa floor whilst having your treatments for an extra dimension of inspiring relaxation. Sunrise Yoga is also a fantastic facility designed to reawaken and realign your senses.
