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.

Sorry for the past review (December 2022-January 2023, before renovation, no choice in the list) My family (I ,wife and son) live in Tokyo, Japan, it was my seventh visit to Maldives and the best visit! We enjoyed delicious food, fantastic house reef, great hospitality of all staffs, and the best is Mr.(Manager) Ali. He always cared about and supported us kindly, especially when we had a trouble on online check in. We would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to you all. And actually we will visit the Helengeli again this year end! We are looking forward the resort life and to meet Mr. Ali! Helengeli is Balaavaru! Thank you Read less

I did 7 days but could have stayed longer, I was sad to go! It literally is more amazing than you could ever imagine, so relaxing, so romantic and loads to do and just overall such a beautiful place. I tell everyone you have to go here and I recommend the floating breakfast and romantic dinner on the beach. Even watching the sunrise and sunset. You can make some really nice memories here x Read less
