OBLU SELECT Lobigili

Oblu select lobigili was an amazing resort with superb hospitality. The beauty of the island was complimented by the kind faces and warm hospitality of the staff. The resort lies 15mins away from Male set amidst cerulean waters with a variety of sea life and beautiful powdered white sand. A reef on the sunset side of the island is home to many tropical fish, black tip sharks and the odd stingray. Parrot, angel and unicorn fish are popularly sited. A variety of baby crabs on the sand housed in shells and larger crabs in in the beach rocks also make an appearance. The villa has a very comfortable feel to it and the decor lends itself to comfortable luxury. The resort has kindly included sunhats, flip-flops, a beach bag, raincoats and life jackets in the villa for your personal use. The bathroom has a semi outdoor feel including an overwater hammock with a view of the blue sky right above. Chocolates, a variety of nuts and drinks are replenished everyday in your room. The all inclusivity is well worth it. The meals have a huge variety, catering to all dietary preferences and the staff are well informed. The food is tasty, well portioned and unlimited whether it's buffet for lunch or alacarte dining/ buffet for supper. Cuisines range from Western, Asian, Maldivean, Italian as well as breads, soups, salad and dessert bars. The onlyblu restaurant is a unique experience. We booked it for lunch as there is better visibility in the water and we got to see an array of fish, black tip sharks and Shoals of red snapper. The food was good but the menu could do with a little more versatility. The boat transfer from the airport to the island was seamless and comfortable. The villa was beautiful with spectacular views, excellent upkeep and amazing amenities. Our hostess Lisa was nothing short of an amazing human who cared for us and made us feel at home. She ensured everything was perfect and even arranged an anniversary decorated villa with a dinner under the stars. She was kind and warm and so easy to talk to. We appreciated everything about her character and decorum. The restaurant staff were superb. They engaged with us with a smile everyday and the interactions felt very personalised. Haydie took care of us during most meals and Sapna was a great hostess that received and seated us quite often. They were both easy to talk to and we're excellent at their jobs. Khet was responsible for our room and always had our villa absolutely clean and neat including a fantastic turn down service which always made us happy to come back to. Rishy took us on our snorkelling and fishing excursions which were amazing. He is calm and always has a smile on his face. The excursions were short travel distances and were on very comfortable boats with more than enough space. Our flight was also late in the evening after checkout. Our hostess kindly arranged lunch and drinks and provided a room to freshen up after our stingray snorkel before departure which was amazing for having being checked out already. Overall, this experience was overwhelming in the best way possible. Everything felt surreal. It was more than just the clear blue waters and marine life. It was the way this place made us feel that set it apart from other places in the world. The island's beauty and the outstanding staff made this place the magical escape it is. Oblu Select Lobigili is woven into the heart and soul of the Maldives and boasts a true escape from reality which is unforgettable. Read less

This was the best holiday we’ve ever had and we have just travelled the world. The staff, the room , wildlife , food and drink was amazing . Thank you to Esther for being our hostess and to all the other staff especially Jenny in the restaurant. The food and drink is more than 5* as the service is. The underwater restaurant was out of this world! Service and food was great alongside the most beautiful fish. The main restaurant had a great choice with very attentive staff who would bend over backwards to accommodate you. The snorkelling was excellent and we saw dolphins playing in the sea and sharks literally going past the back of our room. If you look up at night you can see bats and early in the morning lizards. I would not hesitate booking here and we are desperate to go back next year. Read less

This was our honeymoon after the wedding, and it was our very first time visiting the Maldives. We approached the hotel selection very carefully and even a bit critically, because we wanted everything to be perfect. In the end, we chose OBLU SELECT Lobigili because of its unique 18+ concept – an adults-only resort designed especially for couples. From the very first moments after arrival, our excitement and happiness knew no bounds. 🌺 The resort exceeded all of our expectations. A special thank you goes to Svetlana, one of the staff members who speaks Russian – it was so nice and comfortable to have a smol talk with her. And of course, our wonderful island hostess Belle deserves the warmest thanks. She was incredibly polite, friendly, always reminding us about our activities and answering any questions with genuine care. We loved that whenever we didn’t feel like walking to the restaurant, we could just message Belle, and within minutes a cute pink buggy would arrive – like a little private taxi. 🚙💖 The housekeeping service was outstanding: cleaning twice a day, and the best part – an abundance of fresh towels, always available. The main restaurant Ylang Ylang was also a highlight. The buffet offered a huge variety of dishes. Breakfasts were especially impressive with porridge and countless egg options – omelets, scrambled, boiled, fried eggs and more. The coffee was excellent, and we really appreciated the option of decaf coffee! ☕ All in all, this was truly the best vacation we’ve ever had. Our honeymoon at OBLU SELECT Lobigili will forever stay in our hearts. 💫 Read less
