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.

A special thank you goes to Alpi, who was amazing, kind, and always willing to help with anything. As for the waitresses and waiters, they were all incredibly friendly, caring, and professional. The service was absolutely perfect, and honestly, we don’t think we have ever experienced better service anywhere else. The rooms were beautifully cleaned every single day, always fresh and spotless.

Paradise found in the Maldives and the staff made it unforgettable at Lobigili! From the moment we arrived, every interaction felt warm, genuine, and effortless. Our host checked us in seamlessly and seemed to anticipate needs before we even voiced them, arranging activities, dinner reservations, and little surprises that made each day feel special. Restaurant teams were consistently cheerful and attentive, remembering preferences and making thoughtful suggestions, while housekeeping kept everything immaculate with lovely personal touches. Sincerely kind people who clearly love what they do. The Maldives is naturally stunning but it’s the staff who turned a beautiful trip into a truly exceptional one. A heartfelt 10/10 — we’d return in a heartbeat. Thank you Alpi for everything you did for us going above and beyond. And thank you to everyone at Lobigili. Love to you all and see you soon ❤️ xx Read less

The view from the room is stunning! The hotel food is excellent, especially the dinner at Ylang. I could eat there every day! Besides, our host Mechelle is incredibly warm and professional, offering us wonderful service.
