About the island

OBLU SELECT at Sangeli is located in the northwest of Male Atoll and is a five-star all-inclusive hotel under the popular Maldivian hotel group Atmosphere Hotels & Resorts from the Indian Ocean. Welcome to Sangeli! This unparalleled small island has beach villas and water villas, some with pools. Throughout your stay enjoy our Platinum All-Inclusive plan; besides the main restaurant, guests can dine at two special restaurants—Just Grill barbecue restaurant and Just Wok. The in-room minibar is free and replenished daily!

Why stay here

Operated by the famous Indian Ocean hotel brand Atmosphere Hotels & Resorts, spacious independent beach and water villas (some with private pools), the upgraded THE SERENITY all-inclusive includes fine dining experiences at two specialty restaurants—JUST GRILL (colorful barbecue restaurant) & SIMPLY VEG (vegetarian restaurant), and free minibar use in the villa!

Highlights

Pros: ① All-inclusive, speedboat arrival, same group as Kanifushi Island; ② About 20 minutes by speedboat from OBLU Helengeli, allowing a two-island trip; the island has a main island and a subsidiary island, with the main restaurant and activities concentrated on the main island, and spa, grill restaurant and vegetarian restaurant on the subsidiary island; ③ The resort provides a kids club, but honeymoon water suites do not allow children. Cons: ① Internet on the island is slow, snorkeling environment is poor. ② Positioned as a 4-star island, many Chinese guests, service somewhat lacking. ③ Price management feels a bit chaotic; some guests who booked early do not get a relatively "fair price." Review: ① "Hardware and software"—no bicycles, so guests in farther water villas need to call a buggy (but limited number), a small hassle. ② "Activities"—well-known water center TGI, PADI

Before you go

Main restaurant buffet dishes are somewhat monotonous, snorkeling around the island is average.
