At day’s end, gather round the table for delicious fine dining and drinking, spectacular sunset views, and fun evening entertainment.
Explore the resort
Each of this tranquil oceanfront retreat’s luxurious villas is surrounded by private gardens or sparkling blue sea for total privacy and seclusion. Guest rooms feature modern furnishings, locally sourced art, and a wide variety of optional upgrades ranging from pools and all-inclusive minibars, to butlers and buggies. Opt for fantastic five-star accommodation within walking distance of all the island’s facilities or stay further afield in a select villa, far from other guests and immersed in nature.
OBLU Select caters to foodies with extraordinary dining experiences, including two specialty restaurants, one all-day dining room, and three waterfront bars. Succulent steaks and seafood, gourmet vegetarian cuisine, and all-day snacks and fresh fruit smoothies cater to all tastes, complemented by easygoing kid-friendly offerings and an impressive list of imported beer, wine, and spirits. Nightly entertainment is also offered, with live music, DJs, and traditional Maldivian performances. By day, guests can slip into deep relaxation with a full menu of spa services, daily classes in the resort’s yoga pavilion, and a soothing sauna and steam room. Sun worshipers will love the expansive ocean facing pool area complete with a two-story slide into the sea.
Diving at OBLU Select Sangeli
OBLU’s partner dive centre, TGI Dive and Watersports Centre, offers a full range of PADI and SSI courses, and guided leisure dives in North Male Atoll. Visitors can explore the resort's inner lagoon, with calm conditions and shallow water - ideal for beginners. Or, take their adventure further, with all-day adventures touring the region’s legendary current-swept channels and seamounts famous for encounters with supersized wildlife like sharks and rays. Back on land, a full-service dive centre offers comfortable classrooms, professional-quality rental gear, nitrox for qualified divers, and classes led by a patient and professional international team of instructors.
Day trips are conducted via modern and spacious dive boats, include detailed safety and environmental briefings, and offer guided exploration with the help of an expert local crew. Other speciality experiences like high-speed drift and night dives are available, as are full and half-day snorkelling tours and dolphin-watching further afield in the atoll. Private guiding, photo and video packages, and trips to secluded sandbanks are easy to arrange, and a wide variety of non-motorised watersports equipment is available for day use.
