Overwater villas — FAQ

What is the No News, No Shoes policy?

Gili Lankanfushi encourages guests to disconnect fully — no newspapers, no TV news, and bare feet everywhere. Shoes are optional. It's become one of the resort's defining characteristics.

What is the Crusoe Residence?

A standalone two-storey overwater villa only accessible by boat from the main island. Complete privacy with a private chef, butler and dedicated staff.
