Maldives, Indian Ocean

Star rating

The hotel

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.

Even though the weather was unpredictable due to the rainy season, she carefully suggested and arranged activities such as snorkeling, fishing, and a sunset cruise based on the conditions each day. Thanks to her thoughtful planning, we were able to have an amazing and memorable honeymoon. The staff who guided us for fishing and snorkeling were also fantastic—friendly, kind, and professional (I’m sorry I forgot their names!). As we are not very confident in English, we truly appreciated how patiently and kindly everyone communicated with us. They even used translation tools when needed, which made us feel very comfortable and at ease throughout our stay. We would absolutely love to come back again for a future anniversary. Read less

Just returned from an amazing 7 days at OBLU Lobigilli. From the minute you arrive at the airport, to the moment you leave, the staff can’t do enough for you. The food is outstanding, beautiful small beaches and no issue with sunbeds being available. All you need to do is to relax and enjoy the hospitality. The undersea restaurant is mesmerising and you will be so transfixed by the sealife that you can easily forget to eat. There are too many staff to thank individually but a special mention to our Island Hostess JULY and to Yangzum our excellent room attendant, who kept our Nest Water Villa immaculate during the holiday. I would thoroughly recommend the resort and will certainly visit again in the future. Read less

We had a fantastic stay, everything was already thought of for us making things super relaxing and stress free. All of the staff were friendly, polite and efficient. From making us matcha tea to cooking butter chicken even when not on the menu, every wish was granted. We feel blessed to have visited and would highly recommend.
