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.

Where to start about this beautiful experience we had at Oblu Nature Helengeli . This was our first time me and my husband visited this island in Maldives . Before coming to here we visited Kuramatti island twice and our expectations were not too high as we paid a lot more at Kuramatti than here and honestly we were so amazed with every single bit of this resort . The food , the service , the room , the snorkeling, the fishing trips, the team , everything and everyone was just beyond our expectation. The resort in kuramatti had 9 restaurants so my partner was bit worried as he is very fussy about food and his worry was at Oblu there is non other option on this island than one and only buffet restaurant included in all inclusive package but Oblu Nature team made us both wrong and our worries went off on every meal we had at their The Spice buffet restaurant. This is amazing that there food variety was rotating on even every meal time . Margarita Pizza was our favourite which was available almost everyday fresh from oven in front of us . Salad selection was amazing too. There is always one section of Italian , sandwiches and wraps , Indian food which made me happy every morning from dosa to uttapam to puri aloo and different recipes of paneer made my husband’s tummy happy every night :) every bit of it was soo authentic . We had a fishing trip in our package including in which we both caught altogether 9 big giant fishes in 40 mins time which again was a very big plus point make us come back to this island again . We really enjoyed fishing here ! We stayed in lagoon villa 311 which was absolutely no less than water villa for sure 🥰 we truely enjoyed our over all trip at Oblu Helengli. Our special thanks to entire team of Oblu helengli , specially Mr Salaam , Mr Nasser , Miss Rizki , Miss Katherine and soo many others , who made sure to make our trip memorable and think us coming back again 🥰. The most important thing to be mention is the best coral reef and beautiful snorkeling experience we had only at Oblu . We heard before coming to this place that this place is very famous for their coral but we are now witness of it . Our best place to see and enjoy the nature and when want to relax on island was bed over the water at Helen’s Bar with fresh pop corn and drinks all day . We also had a complimentary dinner at our choice of restaurant in Raga route and Just grill . We choose Raga route which is kind of modern Indian cuisine absolutely amazing specially their Gulab Jamun cheesecake was soo good . Thankyou soo much Oblu Helengeli making our trip soo memorable and think us coming back again soon . Every penny was worth paid ! Thankyou 🥰 Read less

Very good, the overall service is very satisfactory, Laltu service is very good, the cleaning is very clean, and very careful, and the people are also very enthusiastic. When I need it, I can solve the problem as soon as possible. It's great. Next time I come to the Maldives, I will choose Olu.

Cosy little island with very nice staff with many possibilities. A great apartment, great food, two great extra restaurants, where you can eat once or twice per stay. Snorkelling equipment can be rented for free. You can dive into another world in the spa area. Highly recommended.
