OBLU NATURE Helengeli is on the scenic island of Helengeli – part of the Maldives’ North Male Atoll – just a 50-minute boat ride from Velana Airport. Fringed with white sands, with a dense tropical interior, this resort is a close to paradise as you can get. Whichever way you turn, you’ll be treated to stunning views.

When you want to see the Maldives’ famous marine life, you won’t even need to leave OLBU by Atmosphere. Floating in the middle of a channel, the resort has its own house reef that is teeming with tropical fish. It’s the ideal place for spotting fish, turtles, rays, sharks and more – whether you’re a confident diver or novice snorkeller. If you want to head further afield, OBLU NATURE Helengeli PADI-certified TGI Dive & Watersports Centre runs regular excursions to popular dive spots nearby. Lessons are also available, if you want to try diving for the first time. Or you can enjoy the clear waters during slower-paced activities including paddle-boarding and kayaking.

OBLU NATURE Helengeli is doing all it can to keep the resort as unspoilt as possible. Every area of operation is now geared towards sustainable practice, like daily water usage and waste recycling. The resort also uses local goods and services as much as possible, including fruit, clothes and craftsmen, to keep the local economy thriving. OBLU by Atmosphere is well on its way to achieving Green Globe certification – one of the most respected signs of sustainability in tourism.
