“Complete relaxation in Paradise”
Gangehi is a beautiful resort island with white sandy beaches. We stayed in an overwater bungalow, and it was a truly special experience to be surrounded by completely harmless sharks swimming around us. Maximum comfort and cleanliness awaited us, and every single member of the staff was incredibly kind. Everything here is provided for perfect relaxation. We highly recommend not missing the snorkeling programs offered by the Diving Center. The resort’s cuisine is fantastic and also offers Italian dishes. We would definitely come back.

The food was delicious, the staff is always nice, the island is small but private. You will enjoy the peace and quiet. We stayed in a beach villa, which has a beautiful view. I recommend numbers 17 and 18, they have the most beautiful view of the sea. Some villas have a view of the stone barrier. I recommend bringing your shoes for the sea and definitely don't forget your snorkeling masks and fins. We had half board, we didn't miss lunch. We paid for everything else only when we left, including the seaplane. We went on a trip to watch manta rays and nurse sharks ($165/2 people). Whale shark watching costs $500/2 people. There is a small shop on the island if you forget something. You don't need Maldivian money. The sand is full of shell fragments, a bit uncomfortable for your feet. In conclusion, it is a wonderful place to relax.

We returned to Gangehi Island Resort after spending our honeymoon here ten years ago — and honestly, it felt like coming home. Very little has changed, which we mean as a huge compliment. The same peaceful atmosphere, the same warm smiles, the same effortless kindness from everyone on the island. The resort still keeps its original Maldivian charm — natural, simple, and beautifully laid-back. The tropical vegetation is lush, and the sea is that unreal shade of blue with amazing coral just off the beach. We spotted reef sharks, rays, and even sea turtles while snorkeling. The weather was a bit mixed during our stay, but that’s part of island life — and the staff made up for it in every way. Giorgio, the General Manager, surprised us with a complimentary upgrade from half board to full board — such a generous touch, thank you! The restaurant buffet is uncomplicated but always delicious, mostly fish-based, freshly prepared and served with genuine warmth. The dessert corner deserves a special mention — fresh tropical fruits and homemade ice cream every day. The spa offers excellent massages, and our excursion (even with rough sea) was great fun with beautiful snorkeling spots. The romantic dinner at sunset, with our own waiter and chef, was truly unforgettable — especially the aperitivo at the overwater restaurant. In short, Gangehi remains an authentic Maldivian gem — friendly, relaxed, and made for pure relaxation. We loved every minute and will surely be back again.

“Magical resort.”
Staff was great. This hotel is truly niche and it allows you to enjoy an intimate stay while benefitting from an eco sustainable resort. The over water villas, especially the deluxe, are magical. Food and hospitality staff is top quality with so many options. Phenomenal cleaning

“A beautiful island and resort that we’d like to visit again”
My partner and I visited Gangehi for a week and we had a wonderful stay at the resort. We went scuba diving, snorkelling and canoeing around the island and did plenty of lounging around too! The staff were very friendly and attentive, the food was varied and delicious and the island is a stunning tropical paradise. The diving around the island is also brilliant with so many large fish to see like mantas and sharks. We will definitely be back to explore more of the local dive sights and sea creatures and chill out again at Gangehi in the future.

Absolutely nothing. Well if I’m not too harsh on them, I would give that room was 6/10. Everything else was terrible. Including the staff.

“A wonderful resort on a beautiful island”
A wonderful resort on a beautiful island. We stayed in the Deluxe Overwater Villa, which was luxuriously furnished and equipped. The entrance directly from the terrace to the water was amazing. They cleaned twice every day and refilled the water bottles in the morning. They cook excellently in the restaurant. A large selection of local and Italian cuisine at dinner. Also fish every day. The kitchen staff also took care of our gluten-free diet - they baked gluten-free bread and pastries and prepared gluten-free pasta. Free water served at dinner. Beautiful sandy beaches with a coral reef with fish, turtles and reef sharks. Attentive staff. We recommend it to everyone.

“Beyond expectations is the right word for this”
Gangehi Island resort was a dream resort - this is one of the best places to visit in Maldives. Myself and my wife had requested vegetarian meal - the breakfast and dinner had so many options that we were eating 3 plates every day. The rooms were amazing. The shower idea that has you hearing the ocean while shower just brought that extra special feeling. To be able to open your balcony door, go out and straight into the Indian ocean. Amazing friendly staff - always wishing you well.

Amazing sea water, very clear, a lot of fishes. Be sure you bring your snorkel mask, it's amazing. They have sharks, black tip reef sharks and sand sarks. Not so big, 80cm-150cm. Overwater villa is a nice experience.
