Oblu by Atmosphere at Helengeli Maldives

Cape Town, South Africa

Oblu was more and better than we could ever have imagined! The best reef with an abundance of marine life,crystal clear, turkoise water! Chef Lal and his team make the most delicious food, always fresh with wonderful flavours! The exclusive Beach Villa where we stayed, is a stones throw from the beach.Decorated with vibrant colors. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It’s a real island paradise, with palm trees, turkoise water and white sand. We loved every part off it and will recommend Oblu gladly!

Honeymoon - Best place on Earth

From the moment we arrived to the loveliest of welcomings and everything in between this resort has been paradise. Luisa and her Team are the loveliest people you will meet and they will ensure you have the most amazing time here at Oblu. Food - Fantastic choices for breakfast / lunch and dinner the live cooking station is always in use this has been the best seafood I have ever tasted also booked the chefs signature menu to surprise my wife which was worth every penny ( ask Luisa about this on arrival). Drinks - Wonderful selections of wines cocktails and the service is fantastic Thoriq was our favourite and we was never waiting long he’s great at he’s Job. Spa - Brilliant we booked in 3 massages in our 7 day stay as they was that good special thanks to Tam and Trang such lovely people and very knowledgable regarding the treatments must do in your stay. Everything about this resort is perfect and in paradise cannot fault anything the staff are outstanding this really is 10/10 in all aspects.

Honeymoon & Double Birthday - Heaven

Manchester, United Kingdom

We are due to leave the hotel in just 3 days but i wanted to write my review now as we never have time in the UK! What can i say- absolute paradise and the most stunning coral reef i have ever seen. The boat ride to the hotel was HILARIOUS i couldnt stop laughing- it was so fast and quite choppy but the staff are excellent- it was such good fun! We stayed in Deluxe Beach Villa 224 with the ocean right outside your front door and a beautiful outdoor bathroom which i will miss SO MUCH! The staff work SO HARD and genuinely want you to have the time of your life. Thank you so much to all staff in particular Ahmed our villa attendant who we just adore - he is so pleasant and hard working and our room was always spotless. I will miss you Ahmed! The local island trip was well worth doing, and of course snorkeling. We swam with turtles everyday which i will never forget. I am having a massage tomorrow with Ricky and cannot wait as the spa has such amazing reviews and i had a 10 min massage at the local market with him which was heaven as i suffer with chronic neck pain. For my birthday and my husbands we ate at The Grill on the beach and had lobster, the staff sang happy birthday and Ahmed decorated our room beautifully. One evening in the spice restaurant there was a medical emergency and myself and another nurse from the UK were giving first aid to a guest. I want to say how impressed i was at the effeciency of the waiter staff raising the alarm and how quickly the doctos attended. It just shows how dedicated Oblu staff are to the safety of their guests. Luisa the general manager attended too which i thought was nice to comfort the family and ensure they were being cared for. I also received some very sad news from back home during our stay but as you feel so at home here i decided to stay until the end of our trip rather than leave early. Oblu i can only echo what everyone has already said- book this hotel and you wont regret it. We have already looked at booking next year and hope to try out a water villa. Thank you Oblu for the most amazing time
