Thankyou to the chef Mr.vijay and team and Mr.bhuvan and team for taking care of our choices. The food preps were mindful, delicious and presentable.

The rooms had such a great vibe.They are curated beautifully. At the end I would just like to thank Oblu select sangeli and the team for having us and pampering us and making our vacation a memorable one. Read less

Memorable stay!

We had a great 4 nights stay at Oblu Sangeli. The serenity plan is worth it! Our water villa was spacious, esp the bathroom, well equipped, they give you everything you need including slippers for the beach and minibar is replenished daily.

We had a great 4 nights stay at Oblu Sangeli. The serenity plan is worth it! Our water villa was spacious, esp the bathroom, well equipped, they give you everything you need including slippers for the beach and minibar is replenished daily. The resort is clean, scenic, well maintained and lively. Service is courteous especially at the restaurants, they take good care of you and make you feel at home. Special mention to Mr. Danang for his thoughtful and personalised service at every meal. They spoilt us with 2 cakes as we were celebrating 2 occasions. They even took care to make sure the cakes were egg free as we are vegetarians. Food is delicious, non vegetarian options are more in number but we did not go hungry. Dinner at the Indian Ocean gala night was memorable! We thoroughly enjoyed our own private pool, the resort pool, Sangs bar and beach. We also had treatments at the spa which were very relaxing. The turtle snorkelling excursion was one of the best experiences of our lives! Thank you Ilane and the other guide whose name I forgot! Thank you to the kids club team for their friendly service. Thank you to the doctor at the clinic as she helped us when our toddler hurt herself. It was comforting to know that there is a well equipped clinic on the property with a trustworthy doctor available 24/7. The only feedback is to better the buggy service as we experienced a long wait on multiple occasions. We had 2 rooms and one of them kept experiencing a power outage but the team was responsive every time. Wish we had more time at Oblu Sangeli, will definitely recommend to friends and family.

Our stay at OBLU SELECT Sangeli was beyond incredible. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the warm hospitality, stunning scenery, and attention to detail. Every single staff member went above and beyond, but we’d like to give a special mention to the fantastic team at the diving centre, especially Munir and Betty, who made our snorkeling and diving adventures safe, fun, and unforgettable. Our nurse shark expedition and swimming with turtles were simply magical — once-in-a-lifetime experiences we’ll always treasure. The food at the restaurants was simply delightful — fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. Every meal felt like a treat, and the variety kept us excited for each dining experience. We must also highlight Kader, our room attendant, whose kind and thoughtful personality truly brightened our days. His creative towel art and small, meaningful gestures added so much joy to our stay. A special thank you as well to the wonderful team at the Elena Spa. The therapists were so sweet, kind, and professional — their care and skill made our spa visits deeply relaxing and rejuvenating. Yes, it was a significant spend — but worth every penny for the memories and the exceptional experience. The beautiful lagoons, vibrant marine life, and the peace of the Maldivian reefs made every moment special. We left with full hearts and can’t recommend OBLU Sangeli enough. Read less

Gorgeous Island Stay – Great Value for the Maldives

We visited OBLU Select Sangeli last June 2024 and had a fantastic week. The boat transfer was a bit choppy, but we were greeted warmly on arrival. Our water bungalow was huge, beautifully furnished, and even had a glass floor panel to watch the fish below – a lovely surprise! Food and service were excellent, and we loved spotting sharks from the boardwalk and enjoying the island’s rich birdlife. The currents were strong, so snorkelling wasn’t always safe, but that’s nature for you. Overall, this is incredible value for money in a stunning location. We’d happily return! Read less

Ok. So you’re going through the plethora of Maldivian resort options and thinking … how on earth can I decide? Well … let me tell you, look no further. Oblu Sangeli (with the serenity package) was by far, hands down … the BEST vacation I have had. And that is not said lightly. Having been to the Maldives 4 times (Hilton, Angsana, Sheraton) over the past 15 years means I have some experience - with the most recent stay at the Sheraton late last year. And let me tell you - Oblu Select was just OUTSTANDING. No other resort even came close. Ok. So how great was our experience? Well - to start with …the journey to the resort was a 45 minute speedboat …. No seaplanes or extended travel to get there … and guess what - the transfers were included in the package. Next - our arrival was greeted with a reception ceremony including a drum and palm garland presented to each guest. Our over water bungalow was perfect in size and features and was clean and well appointed. Oh and the food!!! Like just WOW! I mean - I was expecting ordinary food given the package was all inclusive …. But OMG … it was some of the best food I have ever eaten in a hotel PERIOD. We had all our meals at the buffet restaurant - and the service was AMAZING. Chefs Vijay Rana and Rahul noticed we enjoyed chilli so they literally made spicy dishes especially for us and they didn’t stop there … they asked what food we liked - and lo and behold - the dishes would appear in the line up of amazing cuisine in the next day’s selection. With other staff in the kitchen like Nahid … they made our stay absolutely unforgettable. I can’t praise them enough. I mean … Chef Vijay even shared his recipes with me. Like WOW! So everything is already beyond expectations.. but then - I think … something’s gotta give ..I bet the drinks in the package will be cordial or diluted orange juice. But no, no, no… I had a choice of unlimited mocktails (I don’t drink alcohol) that were simply fantastic. The next surprise came from the included 45min spa package. I was sure this was where things would come crashing down. But alas, I was wrong again. The spa and the team that staffed it … were exceptional. I got an upper body massage by Aemy that just blew me away. During my entire 4 day stay - the service was second to none, with staff worthy of note being Mohammed and Sia. I have so much more to say … but if my experience hasn’t convinced you yet … then all I can say is…. You’re missing out on one of the best holidays you’ll EVER have. Read less
