The hotel

They dare to be different on Sangeli island, on Malé Atoll’s north-west perimeter — where creative minds have concocted a dazzling design hotel that’s a far cry from the simplistic rustic retreats of ‘old Maldives’. Edgy features make it feel fabulously fresh and innovative, but there’s still a nod to authentic Maldives in your super-spacious beach-skimming villa. Sangeli is home to it's very own house reef, easily accessible from both the beach and your stunning water villa. The main Sangeli Island and the smaller adults-only island, One Banyan island, are linked by a string of overwater villas. At One Banyan Island adults can enjoy the adult only infinity pool, plus an  a la carte lunch here during the day serving light meals. Here you will also find the exclusive honeymoon select ocean villas and have your very own butler and floating breakfast included! You can amble between the spa, overwater gym, dining venues and recreation and water sports hubs at your leisure. And, the premium all-inclusive Serenity Plan provides complimentary treats along the way, including a daily mini-bar refill, two fine dining experiences a week, unlimited drinks, one 45 minute spa treatment for every 4 night stay per couple and selected excursions, activities and water sports. We recommend a drink in the Rock Sunset Bar at the western tip of the island, the perfect spot to enjoy magical sunsets with a cocktail in hand, all whilst being serenaded by the incredibly talented resident jazz musician!

Amazing resort, the water around the villa is spectacular. Perfect place for snorkeling as the reef is so colourful with all the different fishes and wildlife. The staff is very friendly and the hospitality generous, especially our room attendant Sikdar, who took care of us the whole time. The Courtyard restaurant had very good buffet, so many choices and so delicious, the Maldivian curry is to die for. They have 2 specialty restaurants “Just Wok” & “Just Grill”. Just wok wasn’t upto our personal liking but may be worth for someone with different taste profile. Just grill was pretty good!! But the courtyard takes the crown for flavour of this island. Definitely worth a visit! Read less
