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 were very satisfied with our overall experience. Transportation to the island was smooth, well-organized, and on time. The rooms were very clean and beautifully designed. Room service was excellent, and all the staff members were friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The food was delicious with a good variety of options. Everything was thoughtfully arranged, and the team regularly checked in to make sure we were happy and comfortable during our stay. Our honeymoon activities were also planned very nicely, and our requests were always taken into consideration. We would especially like to thank Ms. Eliza, Mr. Sumantha, Mr. Demish and Mr. Tore from the restaurant team, and Mr. Harun from the dive center for their kindness and hospitality. Read less

Fantastic stay - a place we really didn’t want to leave! The hotel staff were absolutely amazing - always smiling, incredibly kind, and genuinely helpful. From the very beginning, we felt truly well taken care of. The food was also excellent, with a great variety of cuisines, so everyone could find something they liked. On top of that, the two themed restaurants served fantastic dishes that became a real highlight of our stay. We were traveling with our 3.5-year-old son, and the hotel was perfect for families. The staff were incredibly warm and friendly with him, and the kids’ club was an absolute hit - the ladies there were wonderful, and our little one had such a great time that he didn’t want to leave 😊 The cleanliness of the rooms was flawless, with everything maintained to a very high standard. Another big plus was the flexibility of the staff -our checkout was scheduled for 12 PM, but I asked if we could extend it until 2 PM, and it was arranged without any issue. The only downside? After two amazing weeks, we had to leave and go back home 😄 Highly recommended - we would happily come back! Read less
