Very nice and quiet location. The best local island experience. The host is very friendly and provides all the information you need. Many options for day trips and activities in reasonable prices.

friendly staff, run by family, so always nearby when service needed. Restaurant's foods & staffs are good. Happy with their food quality.

The guesthouse property is new and clean, with comfortable bed and cozy vibe of dining area. The location is close to foreigner beach (bikini beach) and grocery store. And also a secret spot for Manta seeing. Breakfast is provided, you can also order lunch and dinner and dine right after your back from relaxing on beach, all home made food. The activities are optional and I took reef and shark snorkeling, totally fun and wonderful. With professional GoPro filming to record my wonderful underwater journey! The sandbank visit is also calming to enjoy the wave sounds on the white sand. Riyas has warm contacted me before my arrival and picked me up from the port. There is no much schedule to plan in advance, everything is so chill in Gaafaru. Highly recommended this place in Maldives!

I honestly don’t know where to begin. I have never experienced such genuine kindness and warmth before. The people here are incredibly calm, gentle, and full of heart. It doesn’t feel like staying somewhere, it feels like being part of a family. ❤️ At Niru Isles, you’re not just a guest, you’re welcomed, cared for, and truly seen. Every smile, every small gesture carries so much sincerity and peace that it touches your soul. Even the island’s locals, so open, so kind, so pure-hearted, make you feel surrounded by warmth and authenticity. I left with an indescribably beautiful feeling, filled with gratitude, serenity, and love. This place stays with you, not just in memory, but in your heart. 🌴✨ Jade has been amazing and made the best out of our day trips, even if the sea and weather were rough at times. He took such good care of my son and me. The trips, the transfers to and from Malé, the room, the service, everything was pure perfection! As a single mother traveling with a 9-year-old boy, I never, not for a single second, felt unsafe or uncared for. We travel a lot, but this was by far the best experience we’ve ever had. It’s better than anything any luxury resort could ever offer. Authenticity beats luxury! Hashan, the cook, was incredible, his food was just wow, and he accommodated every single wish we had. You will all be missed so, so much. 💖

We spent 15 days in the guesthouse. We traveled with a child and comfort was important to us. The guesthouse is very small and extremely cozy. Very clean and tidy rooms, great location on the island, beautiful courtyard with flowers. But the most important thing is the team. This is truly a dream team! Adam phoned us in advance and discussed all the transfer issues. Ziya solved all our questions and took care of every little thing - transfers, activities, equipment, island tips, family photos and videos - everything was organized at the highest level. The amazing chef Shakeel cooked very delicious food, always asked our wishes, specially prepared food for our picky daughter and she was very pleased. Thank you friends, we really hope to visit you again.

comfortable villas with the beach, great food, meant for leisure, opportunity for activities like gym, spa, yoga

The island offers pure relaxation. It already starts at the airport, where the friendly groundstaff immediately starts taking any weight off your shoulders and takes care of all formalities. A big shoutout to Nafeel who constantly provided us with updates on the status of the seaplane. Upon arrival on the island, your personal butler takes care of all formalities and you are guided to your villa within minutes. The villas are spacious and very well equipped, in particular a Dyson hairdryer, outdoor shower, two sinks, a freestanding bathtub and a giant rainshower within the bathroom. The bed is comfortable and, of course, has ocean view and electric curtains. The patio offers various seating possibilities as does the rooftop. If you are a stargazer you can just lie there, have a drink and watch the stars and the moon go by. Each water villa has direct access to the sea where you can snorkel and discover all sorts of fish (including reef sharks and rays which we could spot as well). The villa was very well maintained and housekeeping did a thorough job in cleaning and refilling twice a day - if only other hotels would take such good care! Everything on the island is in walking distance, but the staff is also happy to take you with a buggy. The dining outlets are excellent and offer a great variety of food. Especially the breakfast buffet has everything you can ask for plus an impressive menu for freshly made egg and other dishes. The staff is attentive, fast and really thorough. The ice cream parlor is another benefit of this ressort. Homemade and tasty. And if you crave good coffee, the Cafe Lounge has what you need. Overall, our stay has been terriffic and relaxing because everything was so well organized. We will certainly visit again.

Everything. Excellent speed boat trip and welcome. Our induction with Shifu was really informative and she looked after us our whole stay. The food is absolutely delicious, the chefs cook to an incredibly high standard. The Maldivian cooking class exceeded our expectations too. The room was exceptionally clean. Well stocked every day. We saw a pod of dolphins, manta ray, sharks and amazing fish from our sun beds at the back of the resort. The snorkelling is mind blowing you are right on a reef. The sunset cruise was good and the snorkelling tour. The rituals bought calm in this very ugly world at the moment.

this was my second time at Oblu Sangeli. it was perfect like my previous stay. Staffs are amazing, they try to provide your expectations. Sangeli is a very beatiful island snorkelling is really joyfull and you can easily find very beatiful reefs around the island. I really love served food at this hotel. I am vegeterian and easily find lots of options, also i came with my 4 years old daughter and food was ok for her too. i attended 1 turtle snorkelling and one dolphin excursion with Oblu’s partner TGI Maldives, these activities was also fun. Room was very clean, they clean the rooms for 2 times a day. I loved to be there like before and i wish to come there soon. Thank you for all nice things you arranged and warm feeling which you make us feel. i love you guys
