In the Maldivian language of Dhivehi, ‘Lobi’ means love and ‘Gili’ means island, so therefore Lobigili is, in essence, the island of love. If you’re looking for a romantic trip for two, this is it. Set in an idyllic location with white sandy beaches and sparkling waters, the adult-only OBLU SELECT Lobigili offers some experiences to make this a trip you will never forget. The largest underwater restaurant in the Maldives, Only BLU offers modern gourmet cuisine with a front row seat to the coral reef – and it’s included in the excellent Lobi Plan. This indulgent plan also includes a complimentary sunset fishing trip and a guided snorkelling trip, so you’ll get to see the best of the island and it’s surroundings after that relax with the included spa treatments. Both the beachfront and over water suites have a modern feel with semi open-air bathrooms and walk-in wardrobes, why not upgrade to the water pool villa for that added luxury of a private infinity pool overlooking the lagoon.

Fantastic holiday! The food was excellent with plenty of choice for vegetarians. The staff were wonderful and couldn’t do enough for us, particularly our host, Ruchika, and Choki who looked after our room. The resort is spotless. We loved the underwater restaurant, bar and swimming pool area. We chose Lobigili partly because of the all-inclusive package and because it is adults only and we weren’t disappointed. We had a thoroughly relaxing ten days, couldn’t have wanted anything more.

I went to Oblu lobigili with my wife for Honeymoon. I was amazed by the tremendous service I expected. In particular, I would like to say thank you to butler Alpi. Generally, it made my once-in-a-lifetime Honeymoon happy. If I have a chance, it is a place I would like to visit again next time.

I'm so glad we chose this resort for our honeymoon! We snorkeled in the beautiful ocean and saw lots of fish. And best of all, Ranil from the water sports center spoke to us in Japanese and let us do the kayak, which was a really fun and valuable experience. The other staff were also very kind and helpful.
The food at the restaurant was delicious…
