About OBLU Nature Helengeli
About OBLU Nature Helengeli
Part of the prestigious COLOURS OF OBLU portfolio, OBLU NATURE Helengeli offers modern and chic amenities in a stunning private island setting. The island's house reef provides endless opportunities for exploration, with unlimited snorkelling, and free use of watersports equipment like kayaks and paddleboards. If you're looking for rest and relaxation, you'll love this resort's yoga and meditation sessions, massage therapy, quiet jungle paths, and secluded white-sand beaches. OBLU also offers a variety of PADI courses, plus guided scuba diving and snorkelling in some of the atoll's most exciting areas.
North Male Atoll is one of the most famous regions in the Maldives, thanks to its stunning beauty both above and below water. Divers flock here to explore plunging channels and walls, drift past bustling cleaning stations and thriving reefs, and experience the atoll's up-close encounters with pelagics like sharks and rays. But, the atoll plays host to a wide variety of dive sites suited to experience levels from beginner to pro, with a little something for everyone. The snorkelling here is excellent as well, with seasonal manta ray swims and nighttime adventures on offer.

OBLU NATURE offers buffet dining, all-day cocktails and afternoon snacks at the island's bars and restaurants. Helen's Bar provides a chic atmosphere complete with a family-friendly pool and an expansive menu of tropical cocktails. The resort’s fine dining restaurant, Just Grill, serves up delicious steaks and seafood, while The Spice is a true feast for all your senses, offering a blend of International cuisine and local Maldivian dishes crafted in front of you at live cooking stations.
OBLU is one of the atoll’s most bohemian options, boasting plenty of picture-perfect natural scenery. Watersports enthusiasts can make the most of their time on the island with complimentary kayaks and paddleboards, and unlimited snorkelling on the house reef. Other water-based excursions include island hopping, glass-bottom boat trips, and guided snorkelling in some of the region's most exciting areas. If you're looking for rest and relaxation, treat yourself to a yoga or meditation session, massage, or spa treatment. Or, just kick back and soak up some sun at the pool or white sand beach.
Diving at OBLU Nature Helengeli
OBLU NATURE's partner dive centre, TGI Maldives, is one of the best-established chains in the region. Their friendly international team leads all kinds of underwater adventures and offers diver-friendly facilities like comfortable custom dive boats, free nitrox, and well-maintained rental equipment. New divers will love their highly professional PADI instructors and relaxed experiences on the island's house reef. If you're up for more adventure, North Male Atoll's best dive sites are just a short boat ride away. TGI Maldives also offers camera rental and instruction, photo and video packages, and modern facilities for personal camera equipment.
North Male Atoll is a classic Maldivian diving destination, known for its plummeting channels, current-swept corners, walls, and thilas. But don't worry, it has plenty of calm lagoons and protected coral sanctuaries as well. The resort’s house reef lies right in the centre of a channel which acts as a primary entrance to the Atoll, meaning pelagics and fish of all kinds are plentiful. Every year between May and October, the atoll also becomes a hotspot for reef manta rays. Plan your visit during these months for a chance to swim alongside these massive ocean acrobats.

Conservation
OBLU NATURE Helengeli is a Green Globe certified resort. Sensitive handling of island ecosystems, sustainable drinking water solutions, supporting local communities, and other green initiatives are the norm here. Only biodegradable chemicals are used for cleaning in villas, laundry, kitchens, and other operational areas. The potable water comes from an in-house saltwater desalination plant and drinking quality water is sourced through on-site water bottling plants, served in attractive reusable glass water bottles.
The efficient waste management system is built around a ‘Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle’ approach. All resorts use twin-chamber incinerators for effective combustion of waste with minimal environmental impact. And, the use of state-of-the-art compactors and bottle crushers reduces the waste to a minimum before organised disposal. Equal importance is placed on disposing of wastewater responsibly, with an in-house water treatment plant. The treated wastewater is reused for irrigation and gardening, in an energy-efficient process.
