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.

We’ve just returned from the wonderful Oblu Nature Helengeli in the Maldives and we have nothing but praise for this beautiful resort. The team were amazing, whatever their role. From the warm welcome at reception, our room attendant, through to the food and beverage team, we were truly made to feel special. Plenty to do if you want to with a spectacular coral reef surrounding the island. There’s diving and snorkelling, as well as fishing and sunset cruises if you fancy. So much more on offer including two pools, a gym and the spa that offers great treatments. The food is absolutely delicious and varied and there are à la carte restaurants too. We enjoyed the evening entertainment as well. We would highly recommend staying at this resort. We loved our 10 nights there and have lasting memories. We really appreciate everyone in the team. A special thank you to Sanu; our room attendant, Sanu; one of the chefs in Spice restaurant, Rajat; head chef in Spice and Shubhan one of the waiting team. Read less

Once again had amazing time here. 7 days in deluxe villa with pool then upgraded for 3 days in a sunset water villa, definitely worth the upgrade. Saw some amazing sea life from our pool area. Including manta Ray's, sharks and a huge stingray. The food here is very good! Especially the curries. We ate in Raga Route as part of the inclusive plan… Read more
Once again had amazing time here. 7 days in deluxe villa with pool then upgraded for 3 days in a sunset water villa, definitely worth the upgrade. Saw some amazing sea life from our pool area. Including manta Ray's, sharks and a huge stingray. The food here is very good! Especially the curries. We ate in Raga Route as part of the inclusive plan and the food was the best that we ate during our stay. We were really taken care of by the staff i there. The Flavours were so good. The staff here are a credit to this resort they are all so friendly and offer excellent customer service. Kessi and Haika at the bar were very attentive and looked after us the whole time we were there. Made our stay so relaxing. Thankyou everyone at Oblu Helengeli. We definitely hope to return, hopefully not 10 years later this time. Read less
