On a holiday.

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 14 Oct 2024via mobile
We had a fantastic holiday with Sang's family and an amazing pool party with the party animal, Lahiru ❤

This was our first time in the Maldives, and we spent 10 nights there. However, we feel that 10 days were not enough because Sangeli is a beautiful paradise. The food, drinks, and rooms were all great, and we spent most of our days at Sang's Bar Beach with Lahiru and his team. The cocktails and mocktails were delicious. The Courtyard Restaurant and Just Wok & Grill offered 5-star food. All the staff were fantastic.

The pool party was one of the best events, and we had a great time with Lahiru and his team. They prepared a special pineapple cocktail in the pool, along with some special shot rounds during the party. Lahiru handled the pool party like a true party animal. We’ve been to many countries but never had an experience like this—it was wonderful. Thank you, Lahiru, and your team, for being amazing.

We are definitely planning to come back in 2025, and we hope to see all our favorite faces when we return. Thank you to the entire Sangeli paradise team for taking such good care of us

We had the best holiday of our lives at Oblu Select Sangeli, where we went for our honeymoon. We are grateful first to the smiling Sholpan Hanım who took care of everything during the holiday, and then to all the staff. ♥️ If we were to go to the Maldives again, we would choose Oblu Select Sangeli again. It was the cutest and cleanest hotel I have ever seen 😍 If you have trouble with English, I would like to add that Sholpan Hanım speaks Turkish 🙃 Thank you again to everyone, I hope we see each other again. 🙋🏼‍♀️♥️

Balayı için gittiğimiz Oblu Select Sangeli'de hayatımızın en güzel tatilini geçirdik. Tatil boyunca öncelikle her şeyimizle ilgilenen güler yüzlü Sholpan Hanım'a, sonra da bütün çalışanlara minnettarız. ♥️ Maldivlere tekrar gidecek olsak yine Oblu Select Sangeli'yi seçeriz. Hayatımda gördüğüm en sevimli ve en temiz oteldi 😍 İngilizce ile ilgili sıkıntı yaşarsanız Sholpan Hanım'ın Türkçe bildiğini de eklemek isterim 🙃 Herkese tekrardan sonsuz teşekkürler, umarım tekrardan görüşürüz. 🙋🏼‍♀️♥️

It is literally a romantic island. For us, everything was great—the service, food, activities, and the stunning natural environment. Unfortunately, due to a storm, we couldn't enjoy many things, but on clear days, this resort is truly lovely and beautiful. It was a bit disappointing that we didn't get to experience more sunny days, as the island's charm really shines in the sunshine. The underwater environment is also breathtaking, offering a fantastic experience for snorkeling. During short snorkeling time, we saw shark, octopus, manta and many fishes. Overall, despite the weather, we had a memorable stay and would highly recommend this place for couples seeking a romantic getaway.

Food and service here are very good. Staffs are very friendly, helpful and cheerful, such as Safwan and Shaikath. I love the Indian food in Courtyard. The Indian Chef Vijay cooks the best Roti, Naan and Curry that I have ever eaten around the world. I am surprised the buffet food could be in such a good quality.

Another thing which surprised me was the spa, I have the best massage experience here and I even had to ask where she learned the massaging skills which is so professional. I still remember the name of the therapist is Amey. She is a Malaysian.

Despite the bed is quite soft to me, this is a very good hotel which generates very good energy. I love being here.

We spent a week in September at the Oblu Select Sangeli and had an amazing time and came home totally relaxed. We stayed in a Water Villa which was really comfortable. An unusual feature of the room was a glass panel set in the floor so we could watch the marine life as they swam by.

The food was outstanding at The Courtyard, Just Grill and Just Wok. One of best Chinese meals I have had (from Just Wok).

All the stafff were friendly and helpful and couldn't do enough for you. We would like to say thank you to everyone for being so welcoming. They are all a credit to Sangeli. Special mention go to the following:

Ziyan who looked after Villa 416 so well.
Vijay - Courtyard Restaurant who organised a special meal for us . The best Thai Green curry I have ever had.
Alexander - Courtyard Restaurtant for his recommendations.
Atheeq - Sunset Bar .
Keett, Wida, Esther and Yuamry - who give the most amazing massages.
Diving Centre - for all their help and support.
Everyone at the adult pool.

In addition to the massages, I would recommend the organised snorkelling trip and the evening fishing trip .

We will come back to Sangeli - hopefully it won't be too long before we do.

Our trip to Oblu select was a well needed escape after a busy time in life and it very much delivered!

As someone who does not often opt for all inclusive as I can get restless within days I was convinced by my Boyfriend. Turns out the trip to Oblu select was everything we needed. The place it's self was paradise and the service matched this. There was always something to do that I did not find myself getting restless at all, the opposite, I managed to relax and get the rest we both needed!

The highlight of the trip was my diving with Mona. I had previously dived in my younger years but it had been a few years so I was nervous about going back underwater. After talking with the dive center they suggested a orientation dive to refresh my potentially forgotten skills. Mona was my instructor for the orientation dive and her calm and friendly approach supported me not only to get back under the water but to undertake my Nitrox Course whilst there! I will say my diving experience with Mona really made my trip, she was friendly, knowledgeable and her passion for diving inspired me to further mine. She also provided me with a new dive log that she had designed herself to which I am truly honoured! Therefore if travelling to Oblu, I very much recommend the diving and for a personalised but professional experience ask for Mona!
