OBLU SELECT Sangeli

OBLU SELECT Sangeli is on the twin islands of Akirifushi in North Malé Atoll, about 50 minutes from Malé by speedboat. It's bright, trendy and all inclusive, with white beaches, a good house reef and coral all around. The Serenity premium plan adds premium drinks, dinners at the two speciality restaurants and some excursions, and the adults-only One Banyan Island pool bar keeps a quieter corner for couples.

Beach Villas (81 m²) have a semi-open-air Maldivian bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe, and Beach Villas with Pool (101 m²) sit in the greenery with a 13 m² pool. Over the water, the Water Villas (78 m²) and Water Villas with Pool (88 m²) have big decks with direct lagoon access, and the Honeymoon Select Ocean Villa with Pool (145 m²) has a round bed, a round soaking tub and a pool facing the ocean. A Two-Bedroom Beach Suite with Pool sleeps four.

The Courtyard is the all-day buffet, with Maldivian dishes and live cooking. Just Grill serves seafood and meat by the lagoon, and Just Wok does Pan-Asian food and dim sum. The Sangs is the main pool bar, The Rock a sunset bar with bean bags at the lagoon's edge, and One Banyan an adults-only pool bar. The ELE|NA Ayur spa has six double treatment rooms, a yoga pavilion and contrast therapy.
