Gangehi has a very high rate of returns and the very high rate of staff retentions. This is so important for continuity and that wonderful “welcome back” feel. And this is one of the positive aspects of Gangehi. However, Gangehi has one drawback and that is ; major sand displacement in the last few years.

The rooms, restaurant and bar/lounge are first class. The bar/lounge rests on stilts over the water facing both South, for the sunrise during the day, and West for the sunset. Its decor of dark brown and white cotton give it an air of cool comfort, accentuated by the large aquarium tank in the middle and various pieces of antique Indian furniture.

The island’s 25 rooms are large and well put together. The theme here again is dark wood, browns and whites. These are combined in Club Vacanza’s textile design taken from the traditional Maldivian mats and used on bed covers and curtains. All the rooms air-conditioned and have a telephone and a Minibar. The bathrooms are not large but they have quality fixtures and fittings, including two wash basins, a bidet and a lovely, powerful old fashioned shower.

Eight of the 25 rooms are Water Bungalows and these a little larger than the others, 14 rooms are on the perimeter of the island and 3 are tucked away inside, particularly quiet and remote. Remote because the interior of the island feels like that. Winding through the virginal growth of mature trees and flowering shrubs is a well-built wooden walkway that feels like a nature trail through the shady greenery of the original Maldives.
