Gangehi Island Resort & Spa

Great place, quiet, small island. Fantastic simple food – everyday local fish carpaccio, great service. Beautiful reef with abundance of fish, from clownfish to black tip tail sharks and rays. In my personal view - not a place for families with small kids. Be ready however that this is a tropical island and not a city hotel 😊

I stayed 5-nights with family, we enjoyed every moment there. All the staffs are kind enough. Chefs helped us to manage our vegotarian diet. Deluxe water villa experience is really amazing. We all enjoyed scuba diving for the first time. It is a nice vacation place to cheer up!!

We stayed for 4days at this resort.... wanted to emphasis the need to upgrade staff behaviour towards guests...they are rude and kitchen has very limited time for food consumption. They close restaurant even wen guests are eating. air conditioning in such hot weather for huge rooms is not sufficient . Rest property is well maintained and Miss shinde at reception is great person to meet.

We are relaxing and now we are in this hotel. There were 4 days left until the end of the vacation, we decided to move to a villa on the beach; we chose it and confirmed that we were moving. A couple of hours later, an employee comes and says that the villa is occupied and offers other villas with a less rugged view and dry trees on the sides. I was very disappointed with the rest of my stay, the behavior of the staff at the reception was disgusting, I don’t recommend the hotel

It's our first time in the Maldives - it's amazing experience for us. We stayed in their water villa for 3 nights and 4 days. We avail their full board meal (breakfast-lunch-dinner) but if you want some extra drinks like soda, juice, wine you have to pay extra but basic things like water, coffee and tea are free.. They have their own bar (happy hour at 6:30-7:30pm) where you can have some alcoholic drinks. We are not good at swimming but we were able to do diving and snorkeling with the help of their water activities instructors. Magnificent underwater! The staffs are very friendly and polite, they will help you in any way. It's a small island - you can see everything in less than 20 minutes. If you really wanted to be away from and hustle and bustle of the city, this is the place that you should visit. By the way, if you want to be in the island ASAP booked for the seaplane. But the speedboat is a nice experience as well.

We stayed at Gangehi Resort for 6 nights in March 2023. Our trip was moved from January after I broke my knee cap in December, and I was worried I wouldn’t be able to snorkel, the whole purpose of the trip. However, the water was mostly calm and clear, and we snorkeled twice every day. There was swimming off the back of our villa, where they appear to be trying with some success to build a new reef. There is a larger beech area near the dining room where there are more fish to see and where the water is generally quite calm. In general the coral is hurting, but there are some beautiful and healthy soft corals. The entire resort can be walked around in only a few minutes. There are people working to maintain the grounds all the time. The villas are cleaned 2 times a day. All the staff we interacted with were friendly and hard working. The two who did the most to make our trip a pleasure were Nafla at the front desk and Rasheed, our waiter. Staff members seemed to come from neighboring countries, and those who interacted with guests spoke excellent English. Guests seemed to come primarily from Europe, especially Italy. We appreciated that there were no noisy activities that disturbed the general peace of the island. It was a lovely place to relax! The only thing I would change about Gangehi would be the use of so many plastic bottles. They charge for every bottle of water, even at dinner. Readily available water not in plastic bottles would be good.
