About OBLU Nature Helengeli

A salty breeze floats through languid palm fronds, shifting the powder-white sand that lines the slender coastline of Helengeli Island. OBLU is the a sole resort on the island, which is just a sliver of green in the North Male' Atoll. The view is inescapable from the resort's numerous waterside restaurants and the deck of each thatched villa. The island's house reef lives up to the reputation of Male' with plenty of silver-tipped sharks and sea turtles who frequent its coral formations. This corner of the world is well worth exploring in the resort's glass-bottomed boat!

OBLU Nature Helengeli is just located 50 minutes from Male International Airport by speedboat.

What you'll love

Heading out for a nocturnal snorkel is pretty unforgettable - keep both eyes peeled for the spectacular lion fish and the waving tentacles of an octopus.

Insiders tip

If you would like nothing more than a cocktail in total peace, we suggest the adult's-only pool!

Something to think about

Although you get a complimentary island excursion and sunset fishing trip, most of the activities add some extra weight to the price tag.

The property

Under a secluded gazebo draped in purple, the ELENA spa offers everything from Balinese massages to handy jet lag cures - and you can join in a tranquil yoga session. Next to the large pool, Helen's serves a range of drinks alongside weekly theme nights. Just Grill offers a selection of seafood to be enjoyed at the over-water pavilion or on the beach. With the choice of indoor and alfresco dining on the deck, The Spice has a buffet of international dishes served with seamless ocean views.

The rooms

OBLU has quite the selection of villas, built above the lagoon (with easy access to the water) or along the beachfront. Each villa comes with a king-size bed, a cushioned window seat in blues and pinks, and little beachside touches like star fish lamp shades. The deluxe beach villas have a veranda with a daybed and an open-air bathroom with a rain shower. There is also a two-bedroom suite with a large pool, outdoor entertainment area and loungers set on the sand.

Activities

Water Sports
Snorkelling
Scuba Diving
Boat Cruises

The island has a plethora of nearby channels where the diving is epic and the marine life is plentiful. Visit the manta ray hot spot where you can watch as the gentle giants swim past walls of coral and pop out from underwater tunnels. Enjoy a cruise at sunset, when the water turns orange and Spinner dolphins take to the seas on their nightly hunt, or set sail to a nearby deserted island for a little exploring. Enjoy the island's lagoon by kayak, jet ski or paddle board - and unleash the child inside with a round on the fun tube.
