Gangehi Island Resort & Spa 5 stars  |  Luxury

SETTING & STYLE

Gangehi Island is a small luxury resort reached within 25 minutes by seaplane from Male Airport. This secluded and peaceful island has lush vegetation; on one side it is bordered by a coral reef close to the shore, on the other it opens into a broad lagoon. Protected by its barrier reef, the island is a pearl of white sand, shaded by coconut palms and surrounded by crystal-clear sea.

The marine life is one of rare beauty: an amazing variety of tropical fish swim around the coral along with marine turtles and many other. Apart from the thousands of multi-coloured fish in all shapes and sizes and the corals themselves, there is a whole separate world populated by turtles, manta rays, sharks and dolphins.
