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 — you can amble between the spa, gym, dining venues, kids’ club, 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, and selected excursions, activities and water sports.

Great experience at this wonderful resort. Stayed in a spacious water villa and enjoyed the lovely food and great staff. This place is a great location for snorkelling right outside your water villa, you can even meet your occasional baby shark. Would highly recommend!

We visited Sangeli for our honeymoon. Have to admit to the fact that from receiving us at the port, to bringing us to the resort, to our welcome and our stay, everything was just A1. We had an extremely pleasant stay and will cherish our time with Sangeli forever. Have to make a special mention for certain people who made us feel home there. Shiva who met us at all meal hours at courtyard. He ensured that we have our best meal hours when we are at restaurant. He ensured that we enjoy the lucious meals from breakast to lunch to dinner. Making multiple visits to table just ensuring that we are not falling short of anything. He made us feel HOME LIKE EATING. Incredible hospitality is all we can say. He carries an aura of kindness with him. Thanks is not enough but we owe to his presence with is there. Next we have to mention Dikshya. Her everlasting smile was warm enough to feel welcomed at the courtyard. Having us choose the best table at different locations each day to make us feel new at the same place was highly appreciable. She was extremely sweet, kind and admirable. Her humble nature, and kind behaviour made us feel special and welcomed. Next the power of THE SANG ‘Mr Aman’. What a wow he was. We are welcomed with drinks, and are bid bye with drinks. Mr Aman is the life of that place. He brings in enthusiasm, he brings in the power just needed right. We had a great time Pool side, which was made even more interesting because of Aman. Overall we had a super dooper stay at Sangeli. ChillIng, relaxing and extremely overwhelming. Just a WOW time it was. We will remember this time forever and ever and ever. Thanks soo much Oblu Select @Sangeli for making this trip memorable for us. Thanks a tonnzzzz. Read less
