OBLU NATURE Helengeli by SENTIDO has introduced Thundi Beach Bar, a new beachside space designed for guests looking to relax, refresh and enjoy the views of the Indian Ocean.

Known for its vibrant house reef, the Maldives resort continues to attract divers and snorkellers with its rich marine life, strong currents that bring pelagic species and access to some of the atoll’s popular dive sites. The setting makes Helengeli a destination for both experienced divers and guests looking to explore the underwater world at their own pace.

Located between two oceanfronts, Thundi Beach Bar offers a relaxed barefoot setting just steps from the shoreline. Guests can enjoy uninterrupted ocean views while taking a break from their time in the water. The bar is open daily from 10:00hrs to 13:00hrs and 15:00hrs to 19:00hrs. As part of the OBLU Island Plan™, guests can enjoy unlimited beers, wines, soft drinks, canned juices, tea and coffee.

The new beachside spot is also conveniently placed for guests exploring Helengeli’s house reef. After a snorkelling session or a day spent around the water, guests can stop by for a drink and a quick refreshment without having to move far from the beach.

Commenting on the launch, Alain Trefois, General Manager, shared: “At Helengeli, so much of the guest experience revolves around the ocean. Whether diving, snorkelling, or simply enjoying the reef. With Thundi Beach Bar, we wanted to create a space that feels naturally connected to these moments, offering guests a convenient and relaxed spot to pause, refresh, and continue their island journey without interruption.”

Located a 50-minute speedboat ride from Velana International Airport, OBLU NATURE Helengeli by SENTIDO offers 153 villas, family-friendly amenities and private pool options.

Guests staying on the OBLU Island Plan™ can enjoy world cuisine, wines and beverages, a nature-inspired kids club, snorkelling experiences, ELE|NA Ayur Spa, non-motorised watersports, ocean excursions and a range of daily and seasonal activities.
