OBLU NATURE Helengeli by SENTIDO is located in North Male Atoll and offers an incomparable house reef and channel diving just metres from the shore. This island resort is one of our top recommendations for experienced snorkellers and divers, but it is also a great option for those just looking for a fantastic all inclusive escape. With a selection of dining options and inclusive activities, this island is popular with both couples and families.
Villas at OBLU NATURE Helengeli by SENTIDO are modern and vibrant, whilst still being complementary to the natural aesthetics of the island. Villas and suites are either set on the beach, half on land and half over the lagoon, or over the clear waters of the Indian Ocean. Some villas boast a private plunge pool, and two bedroom villas and suites provide the ideal accommodation option for families.
OBLU’s comprehensive Island Plan offers an all-inclusive experience that includes high quality cuisine as well as a selection of activities and experiences. As well as sumptuous bookings at The Spice, guests can enjoy a number of speciality fine dining experiences (depending on length of stay) at Just Grill and Raga Route - a contemporary Indian restaurant. We would also highly recommend popping to Hedhikaa Hut to sample some traditional Maldivian snacks - also included in the all inclusive package!
Guests at OBLU NATURE Helengeli by Sentido can spend their days enjoying the complimentary non-motorised watersports, relaxing by one of the pools or enjoying treatments in the Elena Spa. A traditional line fishing experience and a sunset dhoni ride are also offered to all guests free of charge once per stay. The highlight of the island though is undoubtedly its reef, which lies at one of the main entrances to the Atoll.

I loved how lush the greenery is and although the island is quite small, there is lots of space and it never felt busy. The resort had a really relaxed atmosphere and I particularly enjoyed the adults only pool with its stunning views over the ocean. I was expecting the house reef to be excellent and I was not disappointed.
