The Courtyard. Fresh, contemporary décor with comfortable seating overlooking the lagoon. The highlight is the gorgeous circular table with a red wine drop centerpiece, the most photographed spot on the island!
Simply Veg. Experience contemporary vegetarian cuisine, with delicious, original flavors and artistic presentation. The vegetarian menu offers a mixture of Asian and European dishes: green papaya salad with lime-coconut milk dressing, potato gnocchi, milk rice with rosewater, banana blossom and beans fritter, and more.
Just Grill. Relish fresh seafood and meat grills at this lagoon-facing, à la carte fine-dining restaurant
Bars
The Sangs. Overlooking the main pool, The Sangs bar is beautifully decorated with island motifs and a collection of vibrant furniture.
The Rock. The Rock is a standalone bar built on stilts in a shallow lagoon at the Western end of Sangeli island. Comfy bean bags are scattered around the bar, and there’s a traditional wooden swing as well. With a gentle ocean breeze and panoramic sunset view, this is one of Sangeli’s most picturesque spots.
Transfer
Speedboat transfer takes 35 minutes from Velana International Airport.

Excellent. Hard to use any other description. First time in the Maldives, aside from a number of Russians, given the war in Ukraine, its a perfect place. The location, beach and stunning reef for snorkelling are a perfect tropical paradise. The food was first class, superb a la carte restaurants, especially Just Wok. The Courtyard has loads of choice and really lovely food. The Serenity plan has absolutely everything that you need, a pleasant spa treatment, fun but unsuccessful fishing trip and house snorkelling all included. The drinks are all reasonable quality. Plenty of places for peace and quiet away from families. The staff without exception are all outstanding. The weather could have been a bit better, we had some overcast days/ part days and some heavy showers at this time of year, might come to the Maldives a bit earlier next time!!
Worth knowing: download the App before you arrive it saves time at check in and everything you need to know is on it! The boat trip each way from the airport is about 1 hour and can be bumpy/hot ( the humidity on arrival hits you!) and uncomfortable, do have travel sick tablets handy! The resort permits families with young ( crying) kids at the a la carte restaurants at dinner which was very tiresome on one of our two nights. Do bring some dollar notes for tipping, the amazing staff deserve it. I have no hesitation is recommending this hotel/resort we had a lovely holiday.

Fab sunny holiday
What a great place, we would thoroughly recommend Oblu Select. It attracts families and couples of all nationalities. There is a great bar/pool/beach area for families, which is friendly and lively. There is also an adults only bar/pool area which was lovely and quiet, for those seeking a relaxed chilled out holiday. The food was excellent and the service was first class.
The beach villa was wonderful, particularly the large outdoor bathroom. Our villa was very well looked ofter by Bappi, we couldn't fault his attention to detail and helpfulness, what a great fella.
The staff at the just grill and also the one banyan bar staff were very friendly and helpful, nothing was ever too much trouble. The just grill steaks and prawns were amazing.
We were very sad to leave, but will be going back next year.

First time in Maldives and absolutelly satisfied
Very nice place. We were very satisfied. Nice small atol/resort with not so many people which we love. Stuff was very nice a d takeing care. Overall the place is amazing. Nice snorkeling, fishing. SPA center is perfect with lot of nice massages. Beach villa with pool is perfect accommodation place.
Island has a lot of green (palmas, plants of dif types) so you can always be in shade. Also like the way how manager is all time around, talking nicely to guests and makes all feel so comfortable like at home 😉👍
Small improvements as allready discussed with very nice generall manager Lisa :-) like more places to hang towels and wet clothes would be good to have. Better 4th bed for kids. But only few small details. Otherwise all was really good and nice and we will for sure come back again

Great resort for all
I was at the resort with my son and mother (70+). Despite the fact that it was a long journey for us, he made up for everything at the resort from the first time we got off the boat to the reception. We all enjoyed it very much. Peace and comfort for the mother and lots of fun for the son. Anyone I can think of was smiling, helpful, willing... receptionists, water sports staff, guys from the fishing boat, bartenders, cooks, restaurant staff, pool bartenders, housekeeping, doctor, buggy boys... I haven't experienced such friendliness anywhere for a long time.
We stayed at Water Villa no 406, which has a wonderful view, nice design. Everywhere was orderly and there was even ongoing cleaning twice a day! Despite the fact that the hotel organized fun evenings, our villa, which was the closest to the night entertainment, was quiet and nothing disturbed us.
The food is amazing, varied, everyone can choose... the problem is not to overeat :-)
Amazing underwater life! Both for snorkeling and diving...besides the clouds of colorful fish, we met a shark and a turtle while snorkeling, which was an amazing experience for me!
I highly recommend and thanks again to everyone at the resort!

Just Perfect!
From tears of joy on arrival, constant smiles throughout our stay, to tears of sorrow upon leaving, OBLU SELECT Sangeli really touched are hearts and our whole stay was “just perfect “!
We were greeted at the airport, our luggage was tagged and a short wait for the speedboat transfer was extremely simple and very well organised. Water is provided on the boat however, there is a little shop tucked in the corner of arrivals, where soft drinks can be purchased before heading to the boat if wished.
The speedboat transfer took 50 minutes and at times was a little choppy but this didn’t impact our experience. There are vomit bags provided and I would maybe suggest a sickness tablet beforehand for those who suffer with sea sickness. WIFI is available on board.
Arrival at the resort is absolutely magical (I’m not going to give anything away as don’t want to spoil it for others) and this is where the tears began. OBLU SELECT Sangeli certainly know how to greet guests!
Access to allocated rooms is 2.00 pm however, if arriving early you are free to use all the facilities prior to this time. It is recommended that you download the app prior to arrival and pre check in.
Our home for the week, was an over water Villa with pool and we were provided with an in-depth tour and overview upon access. We fell in love with our Villa immediately and it was stunning. From our deck each day we saw along with an array of beautiful fish, rays, shark and turtles.
Eating and drinking at OBLU SELECT Sangeli is amazing and there is nothing that they will not happily provide if not readily on offer.
The Courtyard has so many different selections for different tastes and the quality is outstanding. If you are unsure, just ask, the staff are so accommodating and a vegan diet was catered for.
There are 2 Al La Carte restaurants and both are absolutely devine and must not be missed. Again staff are more than happy to accommodate any special dietary requirements.
Bars are absolutely top notch and drinks were always plentiful and of excellent quality. The Rock at Sundown is fabulous.
There are 2 pools at OBLU SELECT Sangeli, an Adult only pool, which is very tranquil and relaxing and a family pool, which is more “vibey”. Both were really nice to spend time at, it just depends what you require. The Adult only pool also offer a lunch menu, which was delicious and I wish we had discovered this earlier as I would have definitely used a few times.
Activities are plentiful here and there is something for everyone. Included in the plan you are free to paddle board, kayak, snorkel, fish etc and we made use of it all. Snorkelling was our personal favourite and just amazing.
Spa, I can honestly say that this was the best massage we have ever had in our lives. Book in for a treatment early into your holiday as I can guarantee you will want to go again. Absolute bliss!
The island is stunning and is easily accessible by either foot or golf buggies, which will transport you to wherever you would like to go. We choose to walk mostly as you will always spot something in the waters which will amaze you.
Lastly and by no means the least are the staff. Lisa is an outstanding Manager, her skills on creating and managing a team that go above and beyond with genuine smiles on their faces, is what makes this resort far superior to anywhere we have ever stayed before. They all work so hard to ensure that your vacation is one that you deserve. Not a day passed where they couldn’t possibly do anymore for us.
The list of thank you’s would be endless but special thanks to:
Sikdar, are truly amazing butler, who’s towel arranging skills brought us so much joy.
Hafeez, his attentiveness and service in Just Wok, really did make our evening extra special.
Macey, so adorable, always so polite, welcoming and professional.
Michael, Sangs very own cheeky chappy who had us in fits of giggles daily.
Uba, so sweet, kind and always on hand with a beautiful smile.
Buddha, a true gentleman with a very kind heart.
Mahdi, always making us feel welcome and we loved his sense of humour.
DJ Emmanuel for keeping us entertained.
This resort has something for everyone and we would have no hesitation in recommending.
Our holiday at OBLU SELECT Sangeli was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Thank you to each and every member of staff who created and provided us with such magical memories.
