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.

From the moment we walked in to the entrance to the OBLU Select Sangeli, we were thoroughly impressed. The greeting of drums and clapping made us feel like celebrities. Marwa was super courteous in providing us our resort checkin and overview at the snack bar so the children could eat. Thank you. The interior decor was upscale yet warm and inviting and the personnel we encountered were all very pleasant and accommodating. No words can describe the beautiful view we woke up to every morning from or over water villa. Our housekeeper Sikdar provided THE BEST service. All of the resort staff were pleasant and helpful but Sikdar went above and beyond in making sure our stay was enjoyable. He even taught the kids how to make towel animals! Plus he made a special Happy Birthday message for my husband. The food was absolutely wonderful, from preparation to presentation, very pleasing. We especially enjoyed the special mock tail of the day. Everything in the room mini bar was provided free of charge and Venkat was super accommodating to make sure ours was stocked with items that the family enjoyed. Thank you very much to all of the wonderful dining room waitstaff, bartenders and buggy drivers. Adheel a special thanks to you for stopping and asking if we wanted a ride every time you passed and saving us from the rain. Overall, what a wonderful trip. A week stay was not long enough. We felt welcomed and pampered from our first to our last day. We thoroughly enjoyed the spa, excursions and water sports. We appreciate all the work the resort put into our visit. We will definitely recommend the OBLU Select Sangeli as a great place to come to relax and enjoy yourself. Read less

What a wonderful evening well spent with my beloved in this beautiful setup at Oblu Select Sangeli in Maldives. Being a vegetarian, it was a delight to know of a pure vegetarian restaurant in a resort in Maldives. And it turned out to be one of the best food experience I ever had (including India). Staff was courteous enough to accommodate our request to change our booking from "Just Grill" restaurant to "Simply Veg". Special mention to Hafeez, Xerxes and Firu who made sure we are aware of what we are eating 😉 and kept checking if they can help us with anything. Need to mention the awesome snorkeling pictures which Xerxes showed us 🤩. Coming to food now - OMG what a delight. Blend of Maldivian cuisine made our day. Loved the soup ( Floating Island - Kattala Soup), must try dish. Thanks to Chef Kedar and Chef Sandip for lovely dishes. Last but not the least, our bartender Isuru was a very nice guy. He made some really wonderful drinks and did share his experiences of SriLanka (we are definitely going to Srilanka now) Read less
