Maldives resort Gili Lankanfushi to reopen in December
Landmark Maldives luxury resort Gili Lankanfushi is set to reopen on December 1, 2019.
The resort has been closed for months after a fire ripped through the North Malé Atoll property earlier this year.
The resort suffered major damage and reopening is on schedule.
The 45 refurbished villas offer open-air living spaces, roof terraces and private decks with direct access to the lagoon.
New private pools have been added to the Residence and Villa suites
Another new addition are the Family pool villas which have two en suite bedrooms, a private swimming pool for children, a rooftop terrace and a lounge situated over the lagoon.
The resort says every item of furniture in the new villas and living areas is custom made using upcycled materials.
This includes bedframes of recycled teakwood, and the lampshades are hand-woven with recycled wire mesh.
