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!

We have just spent a week at OBLU Select with my husband and two daughters 4years old and 9months old. We loved every second it really is paradise. My daughter especially had an exceptional time at Kids Club. On the first day we went and had a look just before they closed. All the staff were so welcoming that my daughter Matilda couldn’t wait to go the following day. She absolutely loved it! One of the sessions involved my daughter spending time with a marine biologist learning about the sea life, she later saw the marine biologist preparing for a dive to look after the coral and fish Matilda what an incredible experience. I really cannot thank kids club enough Matilda hasn’t stopped speaking about all her friends and how wonderful the staff are she is still showing everyone her beautiful nail art. I felt very at ease leaving my daughter with these incredible women who made both my daughters feel so special. Thank you all so much for helping us all have a fantastic holiday. excellent hotel if you have children. Can’t wait to see you all again love the Jaye family x Read less
