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. The main Sangeli Island and the smaller adults-only island, One Banyan, are linked by a string of overwater villas, plus the exclusive honeymoon select ocean villas— you can amble between the spa, 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.

I check out on October 19th 2025and have been busy with work until today when I finally have time to write this review. First of all, I want to express my deep gratitude for the warm hospitality at oblu sangeli. This is my third island in the Maldives, and every day since I returned to China, I have been reliving the joy I experienced on the island. Secondly, I miss the Chinese dishes cooked by the chef Kamal Kumar Sr. Sons at Just Wok very much, especially the buckwheat noodles and crab soup. I felt extremely at home there. The entire restaurant staff was very friendly to Chinese guests. Read less
