OBLU SELECT at Sangeli sits in the north-western tip of Malé Atoll in the Maldives, a 50-minute speedboat ride from the capital. The island has a lively yet relaxed feel, surrounded by turquoise waters and some of the region’s best snorkelling reefs.
Rooms
You can stay steps from the beach in bright, airy villas shaded by palms, or choose an overwater villa with direct lagoon access and uninterrupted ocean views. Some come with private pools, while family villas offer extra space and privacy. Clean lines, open-plan layouts, and natural light give every room an uplifting, easy-going atmosphere.
Amenities
Life at Sangeli is all about variety. There are multiple restaurants serving international and Maldivian flavours, alongside a fine-dining option for romantic evenings. A large pool, beachside bars, and a spa with overwater treatment rooms mean there’s always somewhere to relax. Families are welcomed with a kids’ club and activities, while adults can retreat to the exclusive One Banyan island, a serene space dedicated to grown-ups only.
Activities
Snorkelling and diving are highlights here, with vibrant house reefs and excellent dive sites nearby. Non-motorised watersports, fishing trips, and sunset cruises are all included, while yoga sessions, cooking classes, and evening entertainment add to the experience. Whether you’re looking for active days or lazy afternoons, the island has plenty of choice.
Sustainability
Energy-saving initiatives, careful waste management, and reduced single-use plastics are part of daily operations. The resort also protects its marine environment through reef monitoring and coral growth projects.

April is another great month to travel, with sunny, warm days. During the end of the month there is an increased risk of rain.
May
Temperatures in May remain warm with long periods of sunshine, but with the start of the South West Monsoon season rains and storms are likely. The unsettled weather, means there is lower visibility, so diving and snorkelling isn't as good as previous months.

July
The South West Monsoon season continues into July, meaning rains are probable despite the warm sunny days.

Weather remains the same in August, and the lower prices and attractive offers make it a great time to visit.
