OBLU Nature Helengeli

Under a secluded gazebo draped in purple, the ELENA spa offers everything from Balinese massages to handy jet lag cures - and you can join in a tranquil yoga session. Next to the large pool, Helen's serves a range of drinks alongside weekly theme nights. Just Grill offers a selection of seafood to be enjoyed at the over-water pavilion or on the beach. With the choice of indoor and alfresco dining on the deck, The Spice has a buffet of international dishes served with seamless ocean views.

OBLU has quite the selection of villas, built above the lagoon (with easy access to the water) or along the beachfront. Each villa comes with a king-size bed, a cushioned window seat in blues and pinks, and little beachside touches like star fish lamp shades. The deluxe beach villas have a veranda with a daybed and an open-air bathroom with a rain shower. There is also a two-bedroom suite with a large pool, outdoor entertainment area and loungers set on the sand.

The island has a plethora of nearby channels where the diving is epic and the marine life is plentiful. Visit the manta ray hot spot where you can watch as the gentle giants swim past walls of coral and pop out from underwater tunnels. Enjoy a cruise at sunset, when the water turns orange and Spinner dolphins take to the seas on their nightly hunt, or set sail to a nearby deserted island for a little exploring. Enjoy the island's lagoon by kayak, jet ski or paddle board - and unleash the child inside with a round on the fun tube.
