Relaxed and contemporary, OBLU by Atmosphere is set on the picturesque island of Helengeli and is a haven for those seeking to snorkel and dive in some of the Maldives’ richest waters. The house reef is a wonderland in itself, and the surrounding waters boast more than 20 world-renowned dive sites. Channel diving is available just metres from the shore, and the team at the resort’s 5* PADI dive centre are on hand to help you discover some of the incredible dive sites in the region.
Other marine pursuits include snorkelling in search of turtles and manta rays, dolphin spotting cruises, jet skiing, parasailing and fly boarding. Back on dry land guests can relax by the ocean-facing pool, enjoy some pampering in the spa or feast on fresh seafood at the beach grill. Accommodation in the 116 villas and suites can be found on the beach or over water, all equipped with spacious open-air bathrooms. The semi-overwater Lagoon Villas are equipped with private plunge pools and a sundeck, perfect for those who would like direct access to the water. An intimate feel is maintained with just two restaurants; The Spice serving regional and international specialities, and Just Grill offering prime cuts of meat and seafood, right on the beach. Helen’s Bar is the place to head for drinks while you admire the uninterrupted ocean views, and you may wish to remain late into the evening for live music or a traditional boduberu performance.
