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.

We came here for our honeymoon. We stayed in an overwater villa over Christmas. We spent a long time researching this trip and the best resource we found for this was the YouTube review videos. It was my third visit to Maldives - having previously been to coco palm hotels. I thought oblu Lobigili was perfect for us as it had the desert island honeymoon vibe as well as access to the amenities and entertainment of a larger island. They have music nights and activities on every night whereas Lobigili has more chilled/romantic things on in the evenings. A big plus also is that it is only a short ride from Male but not directly next to it like the Kandima resort. The island is beautifully maintained. The staff are the nicest people ever and we have never eaten better food. The gala buffet they did for Christmas was spectacular. Highly highly recommend this for a couples trip. My only note would be that they could update a few things in the room to make it look more modern/aesthetic. However they are beautiful and the bathrooms huge and are to die for. Please give great feedback to our host Belle and host in training Jai. We booked via the early Black Friday offer in November so managed to get a good deal on our honeymoon package. Suggest always going all inclusive as this would be a very expensive trip otherwise. Must must go to underwater restaurant - we saw sharks and a ray! Read less

We were absolutely captivated by this place, not only by the peace, quiet and services offered, but especially by the friendliness of everyone who looked after us. We would like to thank Mery, our coordinator, and everyone in the bar and restaurant (especially lovely Elin ) who contributed to making this holiday one to remember for a long time.

As a gay couple we felt really at ease at Oblu Select Logibilli; the staff were extremely friendly; we encountered no problems (really appreciated our rainbow coloured handmade Christmas card) would recommend for LGBT travellers. Service was exceptional with our host Ruchika organising & booking our restaurant bookings at Gaadiya 17 Food Truck & Only Blu Underwater Restaurant; plus our trips & spa treatment. In all areas the service was tremendous- restaurants, bar, housekeeping, trips, spa & transfers. Food was Devine at all venues very spoilt for Choice. Ala Carte in the evenings. Breakfast & Lunch a mixture of buffet plus fresh meals to order. Also recommended for the Christmas period- with festive decorations, singers, special events & a grand Christmas buffet with anything you could wish for. Read less
