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.

Отличный отель. Очень приветливый персонал. Океан просто восторг! Цвет нереальной красоты! Бассейн с видом на океан. Горка в океан. Рыбки фантастические) Отдельное спасибо Franky за помощь в хоспитале когда лежала там с ребёнком. А подушки там просто обалденные )))

Abbiamo soggiornato per nove notti in villa sull'acqua e siamo rimasti totalmente soddisfatti in ogni cosa! La villa è posizionata sul reef e ti offre la possibilità di scendere direttamente in acqua e nuotare tra la barriera corallina incontrando tantissimi pesci colorati e addirittura qualche piccolo squalo. Sono a disposizione dei clienti ciabattine infradito, borsa per il mare, teli da mare (in villa e sulla spiaggia) ed a richiesta, gratuitamente, attrezzatura per lo snorkeling. Letti e cuscini supercomodi, minibar molto assortito che veniva rifornito due volte al giorno quando veniva ripulita la stanza. Nel bagno saponi e creme di ottimo livello ogni tipo di confort compresi i kit per la cura personale. Trattamento all-inclusive reale con selezioni di vini e alcolici internazionali e cocktail di ogni genere in tutti i locali sparsi per il resort. Nel pacchetto sono comprese cene alla carta (incluse di bevande), escursioni e massaggi presso la spa con personale in entrambi i casi professionale e cordiale. Ma ora parliamo di cucina: colazione, pranzo e cena con piatti preparati al momento, ottima la qualità e a volte anche fuori menù, su richiesta del cliente e, dagli chef ai camerieri (alcuni parlano un pò italiano), sempre pronti a soddisfare ogni desiderio. In chiusura, non potendo elencare tutto il personale, un plauso particolare va alla General Manager Jenni, sempre presente e attenta affinché ogni cosa funzionasse. Read less

Excellent service, friendly environment, beautiful location, Sherif was extremely helpful from beginning to the end of our stay. Very relaxing and highly recommended. Short boat trip from airport is 55 minutes, very worth. Good options in terms of activities
