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.

If you want to go to the Maldives and literally do nothing once you land, this is your place. The staff is amazing, the weather was awesome, and the snorkeling was top notch. We stayed a week (Sunday to Sunday) and we feel this was the perfect time. We did have one fullnday of rain, but that day was a nice re-set from the sun and we basically hung out in the bar area most of the day. Lots of fun activities to do, the spa is super tranquil. A long trip for us Americans (Colorado!) we did luckily time it to a week of below zero temperatures at home. Hopentonreturn one day! Read less

An excellent place. The accommodation, facilities and staff are all excellent. Special mention goes to Aun, our housekeeper, he is excellent. The food is excellent with plenty of choice. If anyone finds a problem with Oblu Nature I would be highly surprised.
