A secluded and quiet island with lush vegetation and white sand beaches, a spectacular and unique place in the world. Protected by its own barrier reef, the Island is a jewel of white sand, shaded by coconut palms and surrounded by a crystal clear sea. Marine life is of rare beauty: an incredible variety of tropical fish swim around the atoll along with sea turtles, manta rays, sharks and dolphins.

The THARI Lounge & Restaurant is the new and elegant à la carte restaurant and bar with open kitchen, where you can enjoy delicious fish-based dishes or sip a cocktail (for a fee) while gazing at the breathtaking sunset.
The panoramic KANDU Bar, directly overlooking the sea is open all day; it offers fresh fruit juices, cocktails, imported wines and spirits and is an ideal meeting point to spend pleasant moments and relaxing evenings.
Activities & Relaxation
Every day, you can choose from the numerous activities suggested by our staff.
The white sand beach that blesses most of the island is equipped with umbrellas and sunbeds. All activities on the island are mindful of the privacy of guests: you will be in one of the last paradises on earth where nothing is out of place.
The sparkling Blue Ocean is the protagonist on the island and it is not surprising that most of the sports offered at Gangehi are enjoyed on the sea or below sea level. The beautiful coral reef can easily be reached from the shore.
The Resort offers daily free snorkelling tours, and canoes are available for guests to explore the sea surrounding the island.
Thanks to its strategic location in the North Ari Atoll, the Gangehi Island Resort can recommend countless dive sites suitable for both beginners or experienced divers, with multilingual PADI and SSI instructors.
At the Ginger Spa, the treatments blend with a spiritual and meditative experience, which allows you to achieve total wellness of body and mind.
Coconut palms and white beaches frame the luxury facility made up of four original old wooden cottages transported from Kerala, the cradle of Ayurveda.
Antique furniture and decorations, candlelight, oriental music and mysterious aromas are the elements of your unique experience.
In the original boutique, in addition to local craftsmanship, two highly skilled tailors can make tailor-made suits in a short time with a wide range of fabrics.
