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.

We celebrated our 48th wedding anniversary and it was a beautiful setting to do that. Excellent accommodation, a lovely quiet resort which is what we were after.
Food and drink options were impressive, the main restaurant Ylang Ylang was wonderful with so many choices, loved the A la carte in the evenings.
As previous reviews have said all the staff are so nice and helpful.
Stand out was Saila and her team in the bar, we were looked after so well!
We really hope we can visit again!

We had a wonderful stay at OBLU SELECT Lobigili and are very grateful for our time here. A special thank you to our host Mechelle, and to Kothi, who was in charge of our room, and to the whole team. We would happily recommend Lobigili to anyone planning a trip to the Maldives.

The resort provided us with an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived the staff were friendly, professional and made us feel at home. Our accommodation and amenities were everything we were looking for. Everything was spotless and the atmosphere was calm and quiet when we needed it. The atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for and the location of the resort met our needs in that we were at the resort within 20 minutes of boarding the speedboat. The food, drink, our room and the amenities provided were as good as any 5* resort we have stayed in and provided get value for money. We will be returning and will be recommending it to our friends.

Fantastic !. We arrived after spending days touring Sri Lanka for a relaxing week. Arriving at the airport in Male we were well looked after and given a refreshing towel and bottle of water on the transfer boat which took about 15 minutes to get to the resort. On arrival we were welcomed by our host and shown around the island and taken to our room which was beyond expectations, flip flops, toiletries and even a beach bag was provided. Beautiful furnishings , huge bathroom area and lovely outdoor area with plunge pool and sunbeds and just a few steps away from the beach and warm blue sea. The food in the restaurant for breakfast , lunch and dinner was amazing, so much choice. What makes this resort so special are the staff. Everyone so welcoming and always smiling and helpful. Particular mention to the Ylang Ylang restaurant staff. Carol the manager, Nisha the supervisor, Sapna, Rada, Irene, Maggie, Kim ,Idhoo, Teju, Raksha and Hana plus all the others whose names I can't remember ( sorry ! ).
I can't recommend the island enough. From start to finish we felt that nothing was too much problem whatever we requested. Absolutely 5 star...we'll definitely be going back.
