About the resort On Helengeli you experience the natural beauty of the Maldives at its best. Lush tropical vegetation, completely untouched beaches of the finest white sand surrounded by a turquoise lagoon and a fantastic house reef - the unique charm of this secluded Maldivian island will captivate you as soon as you step onto it.

The resort has been designed and developed with the preservation of the island's fragile environment and your comfort in mind. The result is an unspoiled island paradise with all the amenities that will make you feel completely at home.
None of the buildings can be seen from the shore line as there was very little extra cutting of this densely vegetated island. The bird life bears witness to its natural state. One third of the place is unused.

New on our recommended list...
Helengeli is a superb example of how a simple, traditional Maldivian resort can be done really well.
Don't expect anything fancy, and if you want flat-screen TVs and iPod stations look elsewhere. However, it has all the ingredients for a wonderful 'get away from it all' Maldives holiday: great reef, good beaches, excellent diving, really friendly staff, a small but very nice spa and good food. It's also got a pool for cooling off with a deck that's perfect for spotting passing dolphins, and a bar (with wifi, if you must!) that you will find is very easy to while away many a relaxing hour... we certainly have!

It's hard to think of anywhere that offers as good value for money as Helengeli, and it's a very welcome new addition to our highly recommended list.

The Snorkelling Safari to Meeru reef is highly recommended, offering the chance to see some of the finest coral gardens...

One of our favourite All-Inclusive islands for foodies. 7 restaurants to choose from and fabulous facilities.

Incredible snorkelling - the house reef is literally yards from the shoreline and cirles the whole island!
