The hotel

Newly re-opening and updated in 2023 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.

Amazing resort, very well taken care of. Full of vegetation. Not too big. Buffet is very very good with A LOT of choice. Staff is super friendly and helpful. We did the fishing trip, caught a fish and were able to eat it at lunch. The snorkelling is world class (and I dive and snorkel a lot) : we saw boxfish, pufferfish, moray eels, turtles, octopus, black tip sharks, white tip sharks, napoleon wrasse, rays, nice and healthy corals and every other Maldivian fishes you can find on the list! You can even see sharks from the pontoon. Rooms are super nice, bed is confortable, bathroom is huge. They even thought of little extras : umbrellas, rain jackets, flip flops, torch. 100% recommend.

The environment and services are great. Warmly welcomed by all staff since we got in. Also got lots of water sport choices. Snorkelling was fun, water was real clear to see all the sea creatures and coral. Overall, a great choice for a vacation.
