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, plus the exclusive honeymoon select ocean villas— you can amble between the spa, gym, dining venues 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, one 45 minute spa treatment for every 4 night stay per couple and selected excursions, activities and water sports.

The Oblu Select Sangeli Hotel we chose for our honeymoon was excellent. The all-inclusive 3-meal experience allowed us to explore various world cuisines, and each meal was a delightful culinary journey. The design of the hotel rooms was efficient; every detail was thoughtfully planned, ensuring a comfortable stay. Our rooms were cleaned daily, which we truly appreciated. The activities on the island were so much fun and added a vibrant touch to our holiday. We are sincerely grateful to Sherif for his support in every aspect and to Isuru for her sweet conversations that helped us relax. We truly thank them for making this unforgettable experience even more special.
