What Is It that Comes Once A Month & Leaves After Gifting An Unforgettable Night?

Tuesday 1st of December 2020

Planning a trip to the Maldives? Here are two things we have to say about that: for the best vacay ever, put Gili Lankanfushi to the top of your escape list and experience the magical Full Moon Dinner, held each month on the picturesque Palm Beach.

During this romantic experience, savour delights from a carefully crafted gourmet menu by the resort’s team of talented chefs, while the sommelier recommends the finest wines to go along with these mouthwatering dishes. However, completing the night and making it extra special is the full moon.

The full moon is particularly captivating, being this close to the equator and live Maldivian music adds to the magical, mellow atmosphere. On this night, the resort practices something they like to call the ‘Gili Hour’, where they dedicate an hour of the evening to switching off lights and all other electrical appliances to save energy.

When the sun sets, all lighting is dimmed or turned off, the area would be lit with candles especially in Spa, Restaurants and Bars. On turn down service, villa attendants are to switch off villa lights. In addition, Mr. Fridays are to encourage the guests staying in their villas to turn off their lights and appreciate the stars from their roof terrace.
