About your itinerary
?
Don't forget that if something isn't quite right we can make changes to the itinerary.
I am so excited to present you with your spectacular Maldives adventure, staying at one of my all-time favorite resorts, the dreamy OBLU Select at Sangeli.
I've included 5 nights of All Inclusive luxe, staying in an upgraded Water Villa throughout, for the ultimate Maldvides feel.
With direct access to the turquoise lagoon below, this room is the perfect way to ease into island life. To make your stay even more spectacular, I've included the resort's renowned All Inclusive Serenity Plan, including an array of stunning food, top-shelf spirits, cocktails and snacks.
To ensure your vacation is seamless and stress free, I've included amazing flights with Qatar from Madrid, with layovers in Doha. I've also included return speedboat transfers to and from Male Airport to make sure you arrive and depart your resort in style.
I have been able to secure this resort at a fantastic rate for you, and have spoken to my contact at the Oblu who has let me know that there is just one Water Villa left, so I would advise if you love what you're seeing, we move quickly with this stunning vacation and get it secured before the end of the month for you, to avoid you missing out.
The cost is slightly over your budget, but with the fabulous all-inclusive offer, you will not be spending much at all while you are away, so I think this is a fantastic way to make your budget go a little further.
I am incredibly excited to talk through this itinerary in a little more detail and hear your thoughts later today!

5 Nights at OBLU Select at Sangeli for 4 nights
5 Nights at OBLU Select at Sangeli for 4 nights
They dare to be different on Sangeli island, on Malé Atoll’s north-west perimeter — where creative minds have concocted a dazzling design hotel that’s a far cry from the simplistic rustic retreats of ‘old Maldives’.
Edgy features make it feel fabulously fresh and innovative, but there’s still a nod to authentic Maldives in your super-spacious beach-skimming villa. The main Sangeli Island and the smaller adults-only island, One Banyan, are linked by a string of overwater villas — you can amble between the spa, gym, dining venues, kids’ club, and recreation and water sports hubs at your leisure. And, the premium all-inclusive Serenity Plan provides complimentary treats along the way, including a daily mini-bar refill, two fine dining experiences a week, unlimited drinks, and selected excursions, activities and water sports.
Your room: Water Villa
Curving around the pristine clear turquoise waters of the vast Sangeli lagoon are a string ocean facing villas. The overwater sanctuaries are very private and romantically designed villas with direct lagoon access from individual sundecks overlooking the Indian Ocean views.
Speedboat Transfer from MLE to Oblu
Speedboat Transfer from MLE to Oblu
Upon arrival at Male Airport, you will be met by a fabulous Out Of Office representative and escorted to the speedboat departure area. Here, you will catch a speedboat to the INCREDIBLE Oblu Select at Sangeli, ready for 5 nights of ultimate luxury and relaxation.
Be sure to bring a camera, the speedboat offers spectacular views of the Indian Ocean and atolls. Watch out for dolphins.

These are my top tips for a dreamy stay in the Maldives – these are what I would recommend you don't miss:
Sunset Dolphin Cruise: from your resort, you can enjoy a dolphin cruise, where you can witness the beauty of these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.

Snorkeling and Diving: The Maldives is known for its incredible marine life. Head out on a snorkeling or diving trip to explore the vibrant coral reefs and encounter exotic fish and other marine creatures.

Dining at the Oblu
Dining at the Oblu
The Oblu considers itself as a barefoot luxury resort – meaning it offers all the the luxuries you'd expect from the trip to the Maldives, without being overly formal. In my opinion, this is the perfect combination.
The resort offers a selection of amazing restaurants and bars to choose from, including:
The Courtyard
All day dining for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Fresh, contemporary decor with comfortable seating overlooking the lagoon. The highlight is the gorgeouscircular table with a red wine drop centrepiece, a most photographed spot on the island!
Hedhikaa Hut
Traditional Maldivian snacks. Selection of delicious deep-fried snacks, made from local ingredients such as coconut, onion, chili, lime, fish, andvegetables.
The Sangs
Overlooking the main pool, The Sangs bar is beautifully decorated with island motifs and a collection of vibrant furniture. You have access to a wide selection of premium brands of spirits, top notch wines, beers, cocktails and soft drinks.
The Rock
The Rock is a standalone bar built on stilts in a shallow lagoon at the Western end of Sangeli island. Comfy bean bags are scattered around the bar, and there's a traditional wooden swing as well. With gentle ocean breeze and panoramic sunset view, this is one of Sangeli's most picturesque spots.
** Simply Veg
Experience contemporary vegetarian cuisine, with delicious, original flavours and artistic presentation. The vegetarian menu offers a mixture of Asian and European dishes: green papaya salad with lime-coconut milk dressing, potato gnocchi, milk rice with rosewater, banana blossom and beans fritter, and more.
