Garden setting and beach area
The property has a garden with outdoor furniture and a picnic area, plus a private beach area. BBQ facilities are available, giving guests a place to eat outside without leaving the grounds.
Rooms with garden views
Both room categories look out over the garden. Each has its own private bathroom, air conditioning, and a safety deposit box. The Deluxe Family Room adds a balcony — useful for Laamu's warm evenings.
On-site restaurant
Long Beach Laamu runs its own restaurant, serving continental and buffet-style meals. Room service is also available, which matters on an island where dining options outside the property may be limited.
Getting around Gan island
Bicycle rental is available on site. Gan is one of the larger inhabited islands in the atoll, and cycling is a practical way to move around without arranging separate transport for every trip.
