The first thing that you have to realise about Gangehi is that it is an Italian resort. For 30 years it has been just Italians who have been visiting but they opened it up to British (and other) visitors in September 2011. For the first couple of days, the overwhelming "Italianess" of it is a bit disconcerting, especially when you... More

We had a nightmare journey to the Maldives, with cancelled flights etc. I was in tears and knackered by the time we arrived and was wishing we had cancelled the holiday. After sitting for five mins with a welcome drink, the staff instantly made me smile. The staff took us to our amazing deluxe water villa (I would recommend paying... More

Sat in a rather dreary Heathrow hotel, Gangehi seems a million miles away. I've just returned from the best holiday I've ever had. The island is beautiful and the attention to detail is second to none. We were treated like royalty as soon as we stepped off the sea plane. We stayed in a deluxe water bungalow which was just...

Spacious, comfortable rooms. Great, mainly Italian food. There is always fish, meat, plenty of vegetables, salad, fruit. The staff are friendly and helpful. The Island is beautiful, green and peaceful, the reef is varied and well populated. We saw Dolphins, Manta, turtles, Eagle rays, Stingrays, sharks on the house reef. We were able to relax in peace, though there are... More

It is even better than as it looks in the pictures. Staff: very nice and friendly Food: very very good (good qualty and very tasty) Room: spacious modern... More

Wir hatten das Glück zwei wunderschöne,ruhige und erholsame Wochen auf Gangehi zu erleben.Dies war unser 4-ter Malediven Besuch. Insel: Die Insel hat durch ihre "kleine" Grösse einen enormen Charme und Flair und ist stets sehr geplegt. Das Personal ist sehr,sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, ja sogar herzlich, ohne dabei aufdringlich zu wirken. Küche/ Essen: Die Küche war einfach fabulös. Geschmachklich eine... More

Nice little Island for a relaxed holiday. Most guests are from Italy and therefore most people on the Island speak better Italian than English.

I stayed on Gangehi Island beginning of October with my two children 12/14 and it was a real treat! The island, the reef, the bungalow and the food surpassed all our expectations. Everything on Gangehi is done with great passion and care! We felt at home the moment we set foot on the island, it is elegant and exclusive and... More
