In a milestone move for marine conservation in the Maldives, OBLU SELECT Sangeli has formalised a partnership with the Maldives Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). This landmark agreement aligns the resort’s proactive marine initiatives with national environmental objectives, focusing on the joint management and monitoring of the Rasfari Reef Restoration Programme.
Despite extensive coral bleaching that has impacted much of the Maldives, Sangeli’s reefs have shown notable resilience, thanks to dedicated conservation work by its marine team. The resort has already transplanted over 10,000 coral fragments using advanced nursery and frame methods, underlining its long-standing commitment to protecting marine ecosystems.
Situated just 25 km from the Rasfari Marine Protected Area—a quick 20-minute speedboat ride—OBLU SELECT Sangeli’s marine team is ideally positioned to support this vital initiative. The official signing took place on 2 July 2025 at the resort, with Mr Ashraf, owner of OBLU SELECT Sangeli, hosting Mr Naeem, Director General of the EPA, to endorse the partnership.
“Working directly with the EPA empowers us to make a deeper impact. It’s about more than one reef—it’s about coming together to safeguard the future of these vital ecosystems,” said Mr Ashraf. “We are honoured to support this national initiative and to contribute meaningfully to the wider marine environment.”
Under the MoU, Sangeli’s marine team will actively assist with reef health monitoring, implement conservation protocols, and engage in knowledge-sharing and capacity-building with EPA experts. This collaboration blends the EPA’s regulatory strength with Sangeli’s hands-on reef expertise, enhancing monitoring practices and building long-term ecological resilience.
Located on the serene north-western tip of North Malé Atoll, OBLU SELECT Sangeli is known for its stunning natural surroundings, modern villa designs, exceptional all-inclusive Serenity Plan™, and easy access to some of the Maldives’ top diving and snorkelling sites. The partnership underscores how luxury travel and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand—offering guests unforgettable experiences while contributing to a healthier planet.
Al Habtoor City Hotel Collection, Dubai’s emblem of luxury hospitality, recently hosted an exclusive evening in Mumbai to appreciate its Indian media and travel trade partners for their continued collaboration and support. Held on 11th July 2025 at Tamasha, Worli, the elegant event brought together key industry professionals for an evening of curated hospitality, vibrant networking, and forward-looking conversations.

It has provided a great platform to strengthen existing relationships and explore new opportunities, as we remain committed to delivering exclusive, luxury experiences in the iconic travel destination of Dubai."
