The hotel

Newly refurbished in 2023, the OBLU NATURE Helengeli by SENTIDO welcomes back its guests with a delightful vibrant look and feel… Renowned for its quality and service, the OBLU NATURE Helengeli by SENTIDO brings with it enticing and refreshing interiors and design and a new island resort concept. You will benefit from the latest in hotel luxuries alongside the timeless treats a Maldivian island guarantees. Treats like diving at the 5-star PADI dive centre, snorkelling in crystal waters, relaxing by a choice of swimming pools (including an adults-only pool in a secluded area of the island) and strolling on sugar white sands that have barely seen a footprint. In a quiet spot on the less-developed northeast rim of the atoll, OBLU NATURE Helengeli by SENTIDO has an exotic and unique house reef, home to pelagic fish, just metres from its shoreline, so it’s a good job the use of snorkelling gear’s included in your All-Inclusive plan, not to mention one a la carte dining experience at Just Grill or Raga Route for every 4 night stay, both if staying 8 nights and selected excursions and activities. Best of all... It's only 50 minutes away from the airport on a complimentary speedboat transfer.

I would like to share a few words about the amazing team at the resort — because it’s the people around you who truly make the experience special. A big thank you to James and the head chef, who always prepared delicious meals for us with care and consistency. After we met the manager, Salaam, we felt even more looked after and welcomed — his attention made a real difference. The resort itself is a beautiful place to relax. You can see a wide variety of colorful fish right near your villa, and if you’re lucky, dolphins might even swim by close to your water villa. A truly memorable stay, thanks to both the location and the people! Read less

My wife and I came here on our honeymoon and from the moment we arrived we have been blown away at how beautiful the resort is but also how kind the staff is. For the resort, the pictures looked incredible and I was thinking there was no way it actually looked like that, but it sure did. The over water villas are insane, the walks around the island are super enjoyable with the sand and palm trees. The restaurants and bar all have an amazing vibe. From the moment we arrived on the boat to last day we left, the staff has been incredible. Special shoutout to Kessi, Wita, and Dolan. We met them day one and have nothing by positive things to say. They are incredible and ensured we had a great time. They also remembered our names which was cool. We booked the “Bubbles on the beach” and they ensured we had the best experience. Read less
