Atmosphere Core, operating 8 resorts within 3 brands in the Maldives, partners with Sentido to relaunch ‘Sentido OBLU Helengeli’ – bringing the renowned DER Touristik brand to Asia for the first time.
Atmosphere Core, one of the fastest-growing hospitality companies in South Asia, in partnership with Sentido reveals plans to relaunch ‘Sentido OBLU Helengeli’ – which will be the first Sentido resort in Asia. This world-class diving resort is a preferred destination for travellers from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
A renowned brand of DER Touristik Hotels & Resorts, Sentido is known for its modern architecture combined with local design elements and healthy cuisine complemented by spa and wellness offers. Sentido has a very strong presence in the Mediterranean region and Canary Islands. At Sentido OBLU Helengeli guests can expect a fresh, new look with signature luxury lifestyle elements of Sentido.
The four-star resort will close on 7 May 2023 for a comprehensive renovation, with a grand unveiling in December 2023. Rooted in nature, the renovations will focus on bringing nature lovers and divers close to the abundant tropical environment, above and below the water.
New spaces include 37 Water Villas and a Two-Bedroom Water Suite, all with private pools and overwater decks that allow easy and direct access to the lagoon and world-renowned house reef. The existing offering of 117 villas and suites will be expanded to 153 accommodations with 7 categories. Beach villas will be transformed into 20 Family Beach Pool Villas featuring two bedrooms and a 15 sqm pool. The existing pool villas on the lagoon and the beach suites will all be refurbished with appealing interiors.
Alongside updates to the villas, the project will include a new progressive Indian restaurant. The fine dining restaurant will enhance its ‘Just Grill’ culinary concept with an ‘Italian Twist’, allowing guests to also savour flavourful pizzas and pastas. The all-day restaurant will be redone with additional live counters and a gorgeous overwater bar, so food syncs harmoniously with the views of nature.
Nestled among soothing greenery, the existing main bar will be transformed into a vibrant hangout spot, complete with a refurbished family pool, an expanded deck area, and a brand-new bar.
A kids club, built with materials such as bamboo, will offer an all-nature program focusing on learning through the tropical surroundings. ELE | NA The Spa will also be refurbished with new salon facilities. A new overwater gym and a scenic La Promenade with a boutique will round up the island experience. Guests will continue to enjoy a carefree holiday with the Island PlanTM which blends the stay with all the elements of a memorable tropical holiday.
Salil Panigrahi, Managing Director of Atmosphere Core, says “We are excited to relaunch our first COLOURS OF OBLU property as a fresh, nature-oriented retreat, bringing the Sentido touch to the Maldives. The two brands come together seamlessly, with a shared focus on awakening the senses, bringing balance, and providing the gift of lifetime memories.”
