Not quite paradise

Aug 13, 2025 Exploration303448

My husband and I spent 12 days at Sangeli in July. It was our fourth visit to the Maldives, but our first visit to Sangeli. We had read the great reviews, so we had high expectations. Sadly, they were not met. The beaches on the island were small, and you basically had to walk over sunbeds and breakwaters if you wanted to walk around the island. We stayed in an overwater villa with a pool, and the room was worn. There were several villas under construction, and it continued into the late hours. We were woken up one night because they were using an angle grinder and hammers on the villa next to ours. There was quite a bit of buggy traffic on the jetty, and they drove way too fast. They were used as taxis, not just for room service, which was quite annoying. It disturbed the peace. We had great service at the pool bar, but it was a nuisance for us as non-smokers that people were allowed to smoke at the bar. The main restaurant was the highlight of our vacation. The food was excellent, and there was a huge variety of options. The chefs were very friendly and helpful. We had the best service from Sam and Mohamed. They went above and beyond to take care of us, and we felt spoiled by them. They knew where we preferred to sit, what we liked to drink, and they made us feel so welcome. They have our highest regards. We were disappointed by management and reception. We had an incident while they were restoring the villa next door. When we tried to get a hold of reception, it took four calls before they answered. They told us it had been taken to management level, but they didn’t get back to us. It wasn’t until we reached out to reception again that management suggested a complimentary late checkout—which we, of course, appreciated. Read less

4th Visit - Total Paradise

Aug 12, 2025 FrostytheCamel Dubai, United Arab Emirates

This was our 4th visit to Sangeli - perfect again!!! Landed early morning and our Beach Pool Villa was ready, however we have been here before so that may help. The Food here is fantastic and there is daily activities, all listed in the Oblu App. Look out for the special days for a Pool Party and Tuna on the surf. Themed nights for food, and of course you will be able to use the special meals at Just Grill and Just Wok, depending on the number of days you stay. The island is kept immaculate by the Landscaping Team. However, I must say thanks to a number of special people who made our stay even more enjoyable - Sous Chef Vijay for his lovely curries, Kyra who always has a smile on her face around the Bar, Aseef for keeping our room clean, Madee for his service in bringing us drinks on the beach. Also, the Bar Staff and the countless Restaurant Staff at One Banyan and the Courtyard for the 3kgs I've put on, and off course, not forgetting Sribanta and Jenni for spoiling us so so much. Until the next time - thank you for being one of the best resorts in Maldives Read less

Holiday of a Lifetime – OBLU Select Sangeli Exceeded All Expectations

Aug 11, 2025 Global60221763658 Plymouth, United Kingdom

Our family of four (two adults, plus our “kids” – Millie, 18, and Jacob, 22) stayed at OBLU Select Sangeli from 23rd July to 5th August 2025. This was our very first visit to the Maldives and a genuine holiday of a lifetime – both in terms of cost and significance. With our children soon to be holidaying with their partners, this felt like our last chance for a truly special trip together, so it needed to be perfect. OBLU Select Sangeli didn’t just deliver – it exceeded all expectations. We split our stay between seven nights in two Overwater Villas with Pool and six nights in a Deluxe Family Suite with Pool. Both options were incredible in their own ways. From our Overwater Villas, the snorkelling was superb – blacktip reef sharks, eagle rays, and (what we think were) trevally swam past our balcony daily. The pièce de résistance was spotting them through the shower window! When we moved to Suite 304, the underwater scenery somehow got even better. The coral was thriving, and each morning between 8–9:30 we were joined by reef sharks, stingrays, and the island’s resident leatherback turtle having breakfast right outside. Swimming alongside these creatures in such a pristine environment was an experience we’ll never forget. The service throughout was impeccable. Sikdar, our house attendant at the Overwater Villas, became more like a family friend – attentive, warm, and full of surprises. He went above and beyond for our wedding anniversary, secretly creating the most stunning bed decoration from local flowers. His towel animals were works of art! In the Family Suite, for the 2nd half of our visit, Gokoran made us feel equally welcome and his dedication to our comfort and holiday experience was clear. We were lucky to be on the island for OBLU Sangeli’s 7th anniversary celebrations, where the team recognised their staff with genuine appreciation – including $500 awards in some cases. It was a lovely insight into why the whole team here seems so motivated and happy, which absolutely shines through in their dedication to guest service. Dining highlights were many. At The Courtyard buffet restaurant, the front-of-house team consistently found us the perfect table and anticipated our every need. Special thanks to: • Tore from Kazakhstan, (Grill Station) – always smiling, always engaging, no matter how busy. • Nahid (Indian Curry Station) – the undisputed king of the buttered naan bread. • Mohammed at front of house was particularly attentive and has a great taste in wine which he recommended for us. At Sangs Bar, our thanks go to Isuru (our main attendant during the stay), along with Lakiru, Kyra, Madhyh, Absal, and Mdy, all of whom kept cocktails flowing and spirits high. At One Banyan, the adult-only dining area, we were looked after by Maheadra (RDX), Sham, Anueag, Edina, Anim, with outstanding dishes prepared by chefs Bhuwan, Bignesh, and John. If we’re being ultra picky, the only thing we’d change would be the evening entertainment at Sangs Bar. The same duo performed the same set list for four nights in a row, which became a bit repetitive. The Maldivian cultural night on Friday was fantastic and a much welcome change, but by the next week, the duo was back with the same songs. Not a deal-breaker at all, just something we felt could be varied to further enhance the overall exclusive VIP experience. That tiny note aside, OBLU Select Sangeli has given us memories to treasure forever. From the marine life to the immaculate accommodation, from the genuine warmth of the staff to the stunning setting, everything was as close to perfect as we could have hoped for. For a once-in-a-lifetime family trip, we couldn’t have chosen better. Read less

Amazing experience!

Our one week stay at Oblu Select Sangeli was amazing- a special thanks to Chef Vijay and Chef Torre for taking care of our dietary needs and serving us delicious food. I was really impressed by the friendliness of the staff, specially Bathi who ensured that our room was in top condition everyday. Would totally recommend this place 💯
