OBLU Select at Sangeli welcomes 1k guests post-lockdown
OBLU Select at Sangeli has welcomed the 1,000th guest to the resort since the reopening of Maldives’ borders to foreign visitors.
Like most of the resorts in Indian Ocean hospitality group Atmosphere Hotels & Resorts’ portfolio, Sangeli remained open throughout the nearly four-month-long lockdown earlier this year.
With enhanced group-wide health and safety measures, Sangeli began welcoming regular guests as soon as the Maldives reopened its borders on July 15. In just two months, the resort has welcomed over 1,000 visitors.
“Some milestones call for a celebration. Welcoming our 1000th guest since the destination reopened,” an announcement by the resort read.
