The award recognises properties that consistently provide outstanding hospitality and memorable guest experiences.

OBLU SELECT Lobigili is a popular adults-only escape for travelers seeking a secluded Maldivian getaway centred on romance and relaxation. Located just 15 minutes by speedboat from Malé, the resort continues to earn praise for its charming nest villas, personalised service, and the unforgettable under ocean dining experience at Only BLU. This latest honour further reinforces OBLU SELECT Lobigili’s reputation as one of the Maldives’ most sought-after luxury resorts, known for its intimate island setting, exquisite food, and warm hospitality.

The recognition extends across the wider COLOURS OF OBLU collection. OBLU SELECT Sangeli continues to delight guests with its vibrant island atmosphere, chic contemporary villas, diverse dining options, and seamless blend of relaxation and adventure. Meanwhile, OBLU NATURE Helengeli by SENTIDO remains a favourite among diving and snorkelling enthusiasts, offering direct access to one of the Maldives’ most celebrated house reefs, complemented by an authentic island ambience and heartfelt service.

From romantic escapes and island adventures to unforgettable underwater discoveries, these resorts create experiences that guests value, remember, and recommend. Together, this TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice recognition reflects the power of authentic guest reviews and stands as a testament to the warm hospitality, personalised service, and memorable holiday experiences that define COLOURS OF OBLU.

Maldives, 5 May 2026 – OBLU NATURE Helengeli by SENTIDO invites guests to indulge in an extraordinary culinary journey with the upcoming 9-Hands Dinner event, a signature dining experience that brings together exceptional talent, creativity, and immersive storytelling, taking place from 25–27 May.

Designed as a multi-sensory experience, the evening showcases a curated menu crafted by three expert chefs from Egypt, Madeira, and the Maldives, each presenting their unique interpretation of flavors, techniques, and cultural influences. The result is a dynamic and interactive dining concept that celebrates innovation while staying rooted in authentic taste and craftsmanship.

Guests will enjoy this elevated gastronomic experience as part of their stay, with the event included within the resort’s plan, enhancing both value and exclusivity.

Commenting on the occasion, Alain Trefois, General Manager at OBLU NATURE Helengeli by SENTIDO, said: “This event reflects our commitment to delivering memorable experiences that go beyond traditional dining. It is an opportunity for our guests to engage with culinary artistry in a truly immersive setting.”

Anupam Banerjee, Vice President Food & Beverage at Atmosphere Core, added: “From the coral reefs of Helengeli to the sunlit shores of Madeira and the timeless sands of Egypt, Chefs unite to craft a dining odyssey. Each plate is a story of roots and horizons—where nature’s bounty meets human imagination, and sustainability becomes the soul of indulgence.”

Nestled in the North Malé Atoll, OBLU NATURE Helengeli by SENTIDO offers a vibrant island escape renowned for its rich marine life, house reef, and relaxed yet refined atmosphere. The resort blends immersive experiences with contemporary comfort, creating memorable stays for travellers seeking both adventure and tranquillity.

With limited availability, guests are encouraged to book early to secure their place at this exclusive dining event and experience a new dimension of resort hospitality.

This December, the festive season takes on a whole new meaning at COLOURS OF OBLU, where four islands present four completely different ways to celebrate. For those yet to plan their year-end holiday, COLOURS OF OBLU offers something for every mood and moment, from the high-energy splash of OBLU SELECT Sangeli, to the romantic elegance of OBLU SELECT Lobigili, the exuberant family fun at OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi, and the serene, soulful rhythms of OBLU NATURE Helengeli by SENTIDO.

At OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi, the holidays unfold like a video game come to life. Themed around Roblox, the resort transforms into an open-air playground filled with imaginative workshops, poolside foam parties, neon DJ nights, and family movie sessions under the stars. Children mix mocktails and join daily challenges, while New Year’s Eve builds up to a dazzling gala dinner and countdown that feels like one big family celebration.

Across the jetty, sister island OBLU SELECT Lobigili offers something more intimate. This adult exclusive sanctuary invites couples to step into a ‘Timeless Love, a Masquerade of Moments’ themed celebration. Blending indulgence with elegance, the days drift by in ocean exploration, wellness rituals, and decorating gingerbread houses, and nights sparkling with delicious cocktails, candlelit dinners, soft jazz or live saxophone. The highlight is a New Year’s Eve masquerade gala in white and gold, designed for whispered resolutions and slow dances in the sand.

OBLU SELECT Sangeli, meanwhile, is all about rhythm and energy. Its “Waves of Wonder New Year Splash” brings together poolside games, cocktail showdowns, live music, and beach carnivals, filling the island with non-stop festive cheer. Stroll barefoot along white sandy beaches, relish tuna by the waves, jam to merry melodies, and light the Christmas tree. On New Year’s Eve, a colourful gala dinner spills onto the sand with fireworks, DJ sets, and barefoot dancing until dawn.

And for ocean lovers there is OBLU NATURE Helengeli by SENTIDO, where the reef inspires a gentler kind of festivity. With its “Underwater Coral” theme, mornings begin with yoga and snorkelling, afternoons feature reef talks, art workshops, and conservation activities. Evenings come alive with themed culinary spreads ranging from Mekong flavours to Indonesian feasts, building to the “Ring of Fire” New Year’s Eve gala by the sea. It’s festive, but at your own pace — reflective, soulful, and beautifully enchanting.

As the year draws to a close, COLOURS OF OBLU invites travellers to celebrate the festive season in all its vibrant variety. If you haven’t yet decided where to ring in the New Year, now is the perfect time to book a stay at one of these resorts and welcome 2026 amidst the beauty and joy of the Maldives.

The cult-favourite Martín Codax wine gala is back for a second sun-soaked run at COLOURS OF OBLU resorts and it is set to be even more delicious than before. The celebrations begin at OBLU NATURE Helengeli by SENTIDO on 31 August and 1 September, followed by OBLU SELECT Sangeli on 3 and 4 September. The final stop will be the adults-only paradise of OBLU SELECT Lobigili, where the event will be held on 6 and 7 September.

We caught up with Nicolas Laguette, Director of Wines at Atmosphere Core, to get the inside scoop.

Q: Nicolas, tell us what makes the Martín Códax Wine Gala at COLOURS OF OBLU so special?

A: As travel becomes more experience-led, our guests are seeking moments that feel meaningful and one-of-a-kind and that’s exactly what our wine galas deliver. The OBLU Wine Galas are a total vibe. Think music, sun-kissed evenings, wine stories from Galicia, and an energy that’s just electric. Last year was such a hit, we just had to bring it back. These aren’t formal wine tastings; they’re vibrant, joy-filled evenings where laughter is as important as the pairings. It’s Spain’s soulful way of wining and dining – reimagined in paradise.

Q: What’s new for this year?

A: This time, we’re thrilled to be pouring the Martín Códax Organistrum Albariño, a premium white that’s taken home a host of awards in 2024. Crafted entirely from Albariño grapes, Organistrum is named after an ancient medieval string instrument known for its harmonious tones. The wine reflects that same balance – expressive, elegant, and absolutely divine with seafood. And Paula Lobato, the radiant ambassador of Bodegas Martín Códax, travels to our resorts to host the series. Her enthusiasm and knowledge will bring the entire experience to life – from grape to glass.

Q: How are the wine gala evenings set up?

A: Each island resort offers its own unique twist. At Helengeli, we’re mixing things up with a progressive Indian feast at Raga Route one night, followed by a barefoot beachside dinner at Just Grill the next, both perfectly paired with Martín Códax’s finest vintages. At Sangeli, guests are invited to a golden-hour soirée on the stunning One Banyan Island, followed by a curated multi-course wine-paired dinner at our JustWok and Just Grill restaurants. The final leg of the tour lands at the adults-only Lobigili, also known as the island of love. Here, guests can savour a tantalising global menu at Ylang Ylang restaurant, expertly matched with exquisite wines, all in an intimate setting designed for romance and relaxation.

Q: Why Martín Códax?

A: At COLOURS OF OBLU, we choose our wine partners with great care – after years of research, tastings, and a deep dive into their stories. We look for authenticity, strong family values, and expressive terroir-driven wines that you simply can’t find anywhere else in the Maldives.

Founded in 1985, Bodegas Martín Códax takes its name from a medieval Galician troubadour who sang of love, the ocean, and coastal life. Today, the independently certified sustainable winery is a remarkable collaboration of over 600 families in the Rías Baixas region of Spain. They work in small plots, using the traditional emparrado trellising system of lifting the vines off the ground, helping them soak up the Atlantic breeze. It’s a beautiful blend of time-honoured techniques and modern innovation that results in vibrant, unmistakably Galician wines.

Q: Why is Martín Códax the perfect match for COLOURS OF OBLU?

A: Wine is a universal language. When combined with great food, storytelling, music, and meaningful conversation, it becomes something unforgettable. Our collaboration with Bodegas Martín Códax brings that magic to life in the Maldives in true COLOURS OF OBLU style: bright, bold, and full of heart.

The Martín Códax team share our passion for bringing people together. Hosting these Wine Galas is about making wine appreciation accessible for all travellers, from the wine curious to seasoned oenophiles, through informal shared celebrations. Our guests, our team, and our winemaking partners gather around the table with incredible food, wine stories, and laughter flowing just as freely as the vintages. It is island life, enriched.

Q: Final question, is this open to everyone?

A: Absolutely. It’s complimentary for in-resort guests under our all-inclusive Holiday Plans. Just book your seat early as these evenings fill up fast. We’ll bring the wine and the wonder, you bring your appetite and a love for new experiences.

“Sangeli has always been about balancing serenity with lively experiences – from our island-chic private villas to the pool parties and delectable dine around”, shares Jenni Hartatik, General Manager of OBLU SELECT Sangeli. “What makes this recognition so meaningful is that it comes straight from our guests. It tells us we’re getting it right – that the Sangeli spirit, brought to life by our dedicated team, leaves a lasting impression”.

OBLU SELECT Sangeli, located in the North-Western tip of Malé Atoll, is an all-inclusive haven that caters to both couples and families. With separate adults-only and family-friendly zones, it offers vibrant dining, an overwater spa, and curated experiences that celebrate island life. Its lively spirit, contemporary design, and emphasis on joyful moments make it a favourite for those seeking a stylish yet laid-back escape.

True to its commitment to eco-conscious travel, Sangeli is Green Globe Gold certified and home to a thriving coral conservation garden. The resort recently unveiled a state-of-the-art underwater camera that streams live footage of the reef directly to guest villas. This innovative touch that brings the marine world closer for all guests, even those who don’t snorkel or dive. Looking ahead, a curated selection of exclusive culinary concepts and an exciting global wine brand partnership, a first for the Maldives, are set to elevate the culinary offering even further, promising to impress even the most discerning of palates.

Travellers around the globe are in for a delightful experience as COLOURS OF OBLU, a lifestyle hospitality brand within Atmosphere Core, brings the Bodegas Martín Códax Wine Gala from Spain to three private island resorts in the Maldives.

As a part of the Wine Gala, winery ambassadors from the 600 northern-Spain families which make up Bodegas Martín Códax will host exuberant multi-course wine experiences across two nights at each resort. Guests will be treated to a symphony of flavours with a special wine perfectly pairing each culinary creation. The Spanish-Way-of-Dinning will be in full fledge under the twinkling stars. Resort guests can also stop by for a sip and listen to the wonderous wine stories from Spain’s Galician coastline while basking in the Maldivian sunset, savouring colourful wines and delectable apéritifs.

Founded in 1985, Bodegas Martín Códax is named after a renowned Galician troubadour who sang about love, the ocean, and the enchanting coastline. Started as a dream project by a group of winegrowers in the Rías Baixas wine region, Martín Códax regroups over 600 local families to produce wines of the highest possible quality, while respecting the unique terroir of Galicia.

Nicolas Laguette, Director of Wines at Atmosphere Core, says “Wine is truly a global language, and Atmosphere Core is delighted to continue contributing to its story in the Indian Ocean. Bodegas Martín Códax wines have a natural synergy with our COLOURS OF OBLU brand – vibrant and joyful, and with a love for togetherness.

“We’re delighted to welcome Bodegas Martín Códax for the first time in the Maldives, and we’re grateful for the support they continue to show towards our main objective – to enhance and grow wine culture in the Maldives. Making such experiences a recurring reality is one of the best ways to achieve our objective as it brings together the winery, our resort guests and colleagues around delicious food, fine wine and laughter flowing across the table – it’s a refreshingly informal ambiance where everyone can relax for memorable wine moments.”
