Ultra-Luxe Overwater Resorts

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

'The Private Reserve' in the Maldives Promises Seclusion & Serenity

— October 19, 2022 — World
Gili Lankanfushi Maldives, a resort brand known for its eco-friendly, barefoot luxury hotels in the Maldives, has unveiled 'The Private Reserve,' an ultra-luxe and highly-secluded residence that is built atop the sea.

The Private Reserve is the biggest independent overwater villa in the world and features four bedrooms, an open-air theatre, a gym, a spa, a 21-meter infinity pool, and a waterslide that plunges directly into the lagoon. The expansive Private Reserve, which spans more than 1,700 square meters and sits atop a turquoise lagoon, is located 500 meters from the island and 300 meters from the closest property. As a result, guests are guaranteed maximum seclusion and tranquility.

The Private Reserve has four bedrooms with stunning lagoon views, a large private sitting area, and open-air baths with big soaking tubs that can house up to 12 people. Meanwhile, hand-crafted, recycled furniture is complemented by a warm, neutral color scheme, both of which work together to produce a chic yet rustic aesthetic.
