This September, COLOURS OF OBLU is bringing a slice of Italy to the Maldives. From 22nd September to 3rd October 2025, Italian pizza maestro Chef Marco Piccini, founder of Mako Pizza, will take over three of the group’s resorts-OBLU NATURE Helengeli, OBLU SELECT Sangeli, and the romantic OBLU SELECT Lobigili-for an unforgettable culinary experience.
Pizza as Art
Chef Marco isn’t just a pizza maker; he’s a storyteller. Each pizza he creates blends tradition, artistry, and flavor, using organic dough, slow fermentation, and premium flours. With training in Italy and experience in Michelin-starred kitchens, Marco brings authenticity and passion to every bite. His work, including the vegetarian bakery-pizzeria Pizza Del Popolo, reflects his dedication to organic ingredients and regional flavors.
Pop-Up Dining and Interactive Experiences
Guests will enjoy a series of pop-up pizza dinners and specialty Chef’s Menus across the resorts. Each event is unique, from the lively energy of Helengeli to the intimate, romantic vibe at Lobigili.
But the experience doesn’t stop at dining. Chef Marco will host hands-on sessions, guiding guests and resort chefs through the craft of making traditional pizza-from kneading the dough to perfecting the bake. It’s a rare chance to see Italian culinary artistry up close, right in the heart of the Maldives.
More Than a Meal
This collaboration is about more than food. It’s about sharing culture, stories, and passion while creating memories that linger long after the last bite. Guests can enjoy world-class pizza, learn its secrets, and soak in the stunning island surroundings-all in one unforgettable experience.
Bring the flavors of Italy to your island escape.
