Hotels near Helengeli

Our 3rd visit in 3 years and just as a wonderful and perfect. Had the pleasure to visit several resorts and if want small, quiet and serene even in high season (but utterly special in lower density mid seasons), 30 min transfer from Male on sea plane and 5 min boat, limited kid noise given no kids club, amazing house reefs for snorkelling, first class eurodiver operation with 6/7 of the best dive sites in the Maldives within 45mins on a great boat with a truly great team, world class food and spa, a personal expression by the local Maldivian owner with genuinely first class personal management and service teams, there is no need to spend €1k plus per day at the busy and hyped brand resorts when this individual and perfect offering exists. We extended 6 days after 2 weeks to enjoy a little more…family feel and way they treat their staff means the service you receive is just sublime. Over water villas are just lovely and beach are quieter, do both if you can. Thank you Nazeer, Fira, Basil, rest of bar and restaurant teams, gardening team, Dora, Sajeith, boat crews and for making this our truly special home from home.

This is a 4.5 star property but the service and customer experience is really 5 star. Water Lagoon Villas all look westward to amazing sunsets and are a great option imho.

I truly enjoyed everything about this island; it was perfect. Our butler, Mr. Arey, Coach Faisal, and all the other staff members were outstanding. The facilities were fantastic, and the activities were a lot of fun. The resort management and staff were exceptionally fair and helpful. For example, when we encountered adverse weather during our jetski ride, they quickly sent a speedboat to rescue us from the ocean and didn’t charge us for the jetski. From day one to checkout, their friendliness and professionalism were evident. Thank you!

So beautiful and luxurious, pictures don’t do justice

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.

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.

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.

Great staff and perfect for family group travel

Wonderful apartments near the beach. The rooms are clean and new. Continental breakfast. The owner of the apartments is a very friendly and open person. He treated us to coconuts when we met at the transfer. There was also a wonderful trip organized by him to the reefs. I recommend
