Oblu Nature Helengeli by Sentido - All Inclusive

We have just returned from a two-week honeymoon at OBLU Nature Helengeli, and we can genuinely say it was nothing short of perfection. From the moment we arrived at the airport to the moment we departed, everything was flawlessly organised. The 50-minute speedboat transfer was smooth and comfortable. Upon arrival to the island we received a warm welcome with traditional singing and dancing followed by a refreshing drink — a thoughtful gesture that immediately made us feel at home and part of the OBLU family. We stayed in a Deluxe Beach Villa with Pool, which was stunning. Spacious, refurbished, and immaculately clean, with a huge open-air shower that added to the tropical experience. The villa’s private terrace looked directly onto the beach, complete with a cozy outdoor sitting area. The private pool was a great size and kept clean every day. Having direct access to the beach and ocean was a real highlight. We were also surprised with beautiful honeymoon decorations upon arrival — such a lovely touch to kick off our special trip. The service throughout our stay was absolutely outstanding. Every member of staff went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience. As part of our package, we enjoyed a complimentary sunset boat trip and morning fishing excursion — both were a lot of fun and we were thrilled when we caught a fish! I participated in a cooking class which I strongly recommend as it’s fun and engaging experience. The Chef taught me how to make 3 dishes of my choice, provided me with spices and herbs as well as recipes to try at home. We also had the pleasure of dining at Just Grill and twice at Raga Route — both restaurants offered incredible food and truly exceptional service. The meals were beautifully prepared and full of flavour. We must also mention the food at The Spice was absolutely amazing! There was good variety of dishes to select ranging from traditional Maldivian and Indian dishes to Asian and European options. Every meal was delicious. The marine life was another highlight. Just knee-deep into the water from the beach, we saw baby sharks, manta rays, silver fish that curiously swam right up to us. Also there was countless of beautiful seashells, corals, crabs, etc. It was like stepping into a natural aquarium. Towards the end of our stay, we had a small issue with some guests passing through our villa and treating it as a shortcut to the beach. We raised it with reception and to our amazement, the response was immediate. Several managers personally came to speak with us and made every effort to ensure we were happy. They even offered us an upgrade to a Sunset Water Villa with Pool for more privacy. When we moved in, we were welcomed with a bottle of bubbly, a box of chocolates, a fruit platter, and gorgeous bed decorations — a truly heartwarming gesture that left us speechless. The water villa is stylish and spacious. A night before departure, the staff in the restaurant had decorated a table for us which was heartwarming. When we returned to villa we were stunned by lovely decoration on the bed. Again, a lovely gesture from the staff. In short, the service is top-class, the island is breathtaking, and the entire experience was unforgettable. We are incredibly grateful to the OBLU Nature Helengeli team and we will return in the future. Thank you for making our honeymoon so special!
