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.

Travel Period: 2–9 October 2026 (Villa: 304) A huge thank you to Ms. Mechelle, my island host, and the entire management team for making our stay so special. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely cared for, and the beautiful surprises and thoughtful gestures throughout our stay made our anniversary and birthday celebrations truly unforgettable. A special mention to Ms. Carol, Ms. Nisha, and the entire team at Ylang Ylang Restaurant for their excellent service and warm hospitality. We would also like to thank the lovely waitress from West Beach Bar who was the first person to wish me a happy birthday—it was such a sweet and memorable gesture. Our wonderful housekeeper Ms Iban, also deserves a special mention. She always greeted us with the cutest smile and took such great care in keeping our room clean and comfortable. Her kindness and dedication did not go unnoticed. And then there were all the beautiful surprises—the special surprise before my spa treatment, the gorgeous bed decoration, and most importantly, the heartfelt DIY birthday card. That little handmade card was such a thoughtful and personal touch, and it truly touched my heart. The entire team went above and beyond to make us feel valued and celebrated. It is the little details, genuine smiles, thoughtful gestures, and sincere hospitality that made our experience so meaningful. We are grateful for all the effort, care, and love that went into making our celebrations so special. We leave with beautiful memories that we will treasure for a long time and will always remember the kindness and warmth of this wonderful team. Thank you, Ms. Mechelle, and everyone who made our stay so memorable. You truly made us feel at home while giving us memories we will cherish forever. Read less

Totally recommended restaurant, the food, the waiters,… everything is very detailed. The rooms are spacious and very clean, twice a day. Close to Male, 15 minutes in boat, which allows you to make the most of your stay. Very quiet place. Despite being at 99% occupancy, the complex doesn't feel overcrowded. Attentive and personalized care

When we arrived at the resort, we received a very warm welcome and immediately felt that we were in good hands. All of the resort’s staff members are incredibly friendly and attentive; you could really tell how hard everyone works to ensure you have the best possible stay. Our hostess, Mechelle, fulfilled our every wish and took such wonderful care of us, for which we are truly grateful. She played a huge part in making our honeymoon an unforgettable experience. We chose a Sunnest Water Pool Villa, which was definitely the right decision. The villa is beautiful, very comfortable, and offers plenty of space. The open-air bathroom is also fantastic—it was always a pleasure to shower, take a bath, or simply relax on the hammock net. We thoroughly enjoyed spending all day on the terrace, swimming or snorkeling in the ocean, and relaxing in the pool. A huge thank you as well to Khet from the housekeeping team for always keeping our villa so spotlessly clean and tidy; it made us feel right at home. The restaurants are all lovely, and the food is delicious everywhere. A special highlight for us was Only Blu, where you can enjoy the underwater world while indulging in exquisite cuisine. That said, the quality of the food is excellent across all restaurants. Thank you to Nabita and the rest of the team at the West Beach Bar. The drinks you served were always wonderful, and we never missed an opportunity to grab a drink there. All of you made sure our honeymoon was a truly beautiful time that we will never forget. We will keep these memories in our hearts forever. Thank you so much! Read less
