first stay in Maledives, first time snorkeling, we loved it. We actually stayed in May 2009. The house reef is amazing, at least we never saw anything comparable, so many hundreds of fish, swarms of fish, all colors, jjst beautiful, turtles, small reef sharks. Lots of hermit crabs! At sunset, lietrally thousands come out from hiding in the shade all... More

The island is very small (800metre long) and very quiet. It is run by Swiss owners and is very popular with divers but would also suit those who want to snorkel and to have a quiet relaxing getaway. On arrival we were met by Manfred the manager who is very helpful and hospitable. We were then greeted with a refreshing... More

This was my 4th trip to the Maldives (the others being - Bathala, Filitheyo, Reethi Beach - shout if you want to know more about those :0)). Helengeli is a very special island - it is a rare treat to find an island that has not been filled with activities, technology, state of the art 'shiny' furnishings etc... and for... More

We stayed here for 2 nights as part of an offer made by our honeymoon hotel. Apparently this is common practice in Maldives to free up rooms on resorts. We took the opportunity to try it out as we were there for 14 nights. The resort caters for German tourists on the whole so the staff struggled a little when... More

In short: the hotel is good, can be recommended to those who look for a get away with lots of snorkelling and diving House reef is good. A lot of fish. Not so many sharks but you can see them from time to time. Octopus, turtles, eagle ray, sting rays and all the smaller staff. There are currents some times... More

A great place to stay for diving and snorkeling. The house reef is beautiful and offers a wide range of fish to see. The restaurant offers good continental breakfast, lunch & dinner every day. The rooms are nice and clean and the staff is very friendly. The island is easy to reach by boat in one hour. More

We had a really really lovely time on Helengeli. We were offered a two day stay here from Meeru, which we decided to go on. This island was beautiful, very picturesque, with fantastic snorkelling & a lovely open air restaurant with a good selection of dishes, but not massively extensive. I would definitely recommend this island, but it is quite... More

Hello everyone, I have arrived to Male on 6th September 2011, and the seaplane took us to Helengeli Island Resort in 15 min, we just waited for 30 minutes to take the seaplane. We arrived to the resort and the Manager Manfred was waiting for us, what a GREAT manager! The Island is managed by a Swiss people, very professional!... More

Stayed at Helengeli for 10 days, which was a wonderful experience which I hope to repeat ASAP. Was met from the Seaplane by the Rep (Sandra) and Island Manager (Manfred) which was a nice touch. Check in was slick and hassle free with our luggage being taken to the room in the mean time so it was waiting for us... More
