To make it a complete package holiday, the resort would be offering a best in class All-Inclusive experience too!

The unique feature of Helengeli house reef, is that it lies right at a primary entrance to the Atoll, in the middle of a Channel (channel on both sides of the island). Hence, fish life especially Pelagic (Predatory BIG fish like Sharks, Rays, Barracudas, Jackfish) are aplenty around the reef, year-around!

An Absolute highlight of the Helengeli house reef is the Lobster cave at about 12 meters in depth, wherein over 50 lobsters reside! During a night dive, you can observe them swimming along the reef, looking for food. The entire reef comes alive at night with Shrimps, Nudibranchs, Snails and Crabs.

In addition to the wonderful house reef dives, two of the top Dive spots near Helengeli island, are the Helengeli Thila and Helengeli Corner – just a few minutes away by boat. There are over 30 other dive sites within a 30 minute – 1 hour range including Three Shipwrecks!
