Gangehi Island Resort & Spa

The property is absolutely dreamy and the location was fab. You see endless marine beauty and bluest of the blue water around. There is a small beach section as well near the restaurant that has chairs to sit back and relax.I stayed in Deluxe Water Villa which is super spacious and has one of the most interesting bathroom where you can see fishes and manta ray as well swimming below. The villa was 10/10. But I recommend to go with regular villa or beach cottages as overall the experience stays the same and you will be hardly in room. There is a seaplane that should be preferred from the airport charging 440 USD both sides per person as boat ride is 2 hours long and was mismanaged by the service provider for me at the airport losing 3 hours . The staff helped me with seaplane seat only when I called them, they did not bother to check from the service provider on their guest boarding the boat which was supposed to be my original transport arranged through the contact resort gave me.

The same fish curry was served for the 2 days I was there, the food menu was pretty much the same for all days which is very boring. I understand for diversity of guests safe options were kept but food does not justify the cost. It was average and repetitive. The staff is quite friendly by every activity is overpriced and overcharged. Even as a Deluxe Water Villa guest I couldn’t not a free water bottle from the bar. That was quite disappointing.

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.

There was nothing like that at all.

Resort piccolo ma accogliete, pulito e funzionale. Il personale è gentilissimo e disponibile. Il cuoco attento e premuroso verso una di noi intollerante al glutine. Gianni, il ragazzo del diving, ha fatto in modo che il ns soggiorno procedesse senza intoppi e ci ha aiutate a organizzare il transfer di rientro a Male. L’unico servizio extra di cui abbiamo usufruito è stato un massaggio alla Spa, molto bello e la signora molto professionale. Prenotazione di camera Garden con upgrade da parte del resort in Camera beach spaziosa e pulita, panorama dal letto impagabile. Possibilità di fare snorkeling vicino alla riva dove vedere tantissimi pesci e anche uno squaletto pinna nera che gira intorno all’isola. Ci siamo sentite coccolate per tutto il tempo della vacanza; purtroppo abbiamo soggiornato solo 3 notti e 4 giorni pieni ma se avessimo potuto avremmo prolungato la permanenza.

Siamo stati a Gangehi per la ottava volta, stavolta alche con altri due amici. Spiaggia e reef sono tra i migliori delle Maldive, il villaggio ha delle bellissime overwater e bungalow sulla spiaggia. Abbiamo avuto per tutti anche un inaspettato upgrading: avevamo prenotato i bungalow sulla spiaggia e ci hanno dato gli overwater luxury!! erano a dir poco overwater magnifici!! Inoltre come sempre personale gentilissimo, che esaurisce tutte le richieste, cibo buono e sano, con molte possibilità di scelta; villaggio, camere e spiaggia sempre molto curati e puliti, con una semplicità che ad avviso nostro e dei nostri amici offre un senso di piacevole rispetto della natura! Certamente torneremo con questi ed altri amici!
