COLOURS OF OBLU is celebrating an impressive year of international recognition, with three of its Maldivian resorts receiving honours in the Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards 2026. Leading the celebrations is OBLU SELECT Lobigili, which has been placed among the top 1 percent of hotels worldwide and awarded Tripadvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Awards Best of the Best 2026 distinction. Joining this achievement, OBLU SELECT Sangeli and OBLU NATURE Helengeli by SENTIDO have also been recognised with Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards 2026, further highlighting the strength of the COLOURS OF OBLU brand in delivering memorable hospitality experiences in the Maldives.
Tripadvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Awards are regarded among the most respected recognitions in the global travel industry. Unlike awards decided by expert panels or industry juries, these honours are based on genuine feedback from travellers who share their experiences on the world’s largest travel guidance platform. The recognition is awarded to properties that consistently provide exceptional hospitality, high service standards, and memorable guest experiences, reflecting the direct voices of guests from around the world.
OBLU SELECT Lobigili’s Best of the Best 2026 recognition is a significant milestone for the adults-only resort, which has become a preferred choice for travellers seeking a private Maldivian escape centred on romance, serenity, and personalised luxury. Located just 15 minutes by speedboat from Malé, the resort offers both convenience and exclusivity, making it especially appealing for couples and international guests looking for a seamless island retreat. Lobigili continues to receive strong appreciation for its intimate island atmosphere, elegant nest villas, attentive service, and the distinctive under ocean dining experience at Only BLU. The resort’s carefully curated setting, refined culinary offering, and warm hospitality have helped strengthen its reputation as one of the Maldives’ most desirable luxury destinations for adults seeking rest and connection in a tranquil environment.
The recognition of OBLU SELECT Sangeli and OBLU NATURE Helengeli by SENTIDO further reflects the diversity and appeal of the wider COLOURS OF OBLU collection. OBLU SELECT Sangeli continues to impress guests with its lively island charm, stylish contemporary villas, varied dining experiences, and its seamless balance of relaxation and adventure. The resort appeals to a wide range of travellers through its vibrant atmosphere and thoughtfully designed holiday experiences, offering a dynamic yet comfortable island stay in the Maldives.
At the same time, OBLU NATURE Helengeli by SENTIDO remains a standout destination for travellers drawn to the Maldives’ exceptional marine environment. Widely appreciated by diving and snorkelling enthusiasts, the resort offers direct access to one of the country’s most celebrated house reefs, allowing guests to experience the natural beauty of the Indian Ocean from the moment they arrive. Combined with its authentic island character and heartfelt service, Helengeli continues to provide a distinctive resort experience that resonates strongly with guests seeking both adventure and a genuine connection to the destination.
From romantic getaways and vibrant island holidays to extraordinary underwater experiences, the COLOURS OF OBLU resorts continue to create stays that guests value, remember, and recommend. The latest Tripadvisor recognitions reflect the strength of authentic guest reviews and stand as a strong endorsement of the warm hospitality, personalised service, and memorable holiday experiences that define the COLOURS OF OBLU collection.
