DESCRIPTION
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 completely renovated and reopened only in October 2004. It 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.

There are 50 air-conditioned beach front bungalows.
The bungalows blend in harmoniously with the natural surroundings, are spacious and cosy with open-air bathrooms in Maldivian style, where you can shower in your own private garden. Outside seating facilities allow for relaxed and unobstructed views over the lagoon.
One Deluxe Bungalow is available for those needing that extra little space with a separate mezzanine level. This room is also ideal for a family of three or four. This bungalow is situated at the very tip of the island, offering privacy and unforgettable sunsets.

On Helengeli we offer you the best in culinary delights, continental as well as exotic oriental dishes, in our bright cosy restaurant.
