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.

Everything at Oblu Lobigili is exceptional. The best compliment we can give is to acknowledge the discreet lack of management visibility.

Everything at Oblu Lobigili is exceptional. The best compliment we can give is to acknowledge the discreet lack of management visibility. Nasrulla, you clearly have total confidence, respect and belief in the entire team who work so hard to make the guest experience the best we've ever known. The food is better than '6 star' UAE hotels we've visited. The staff are so friendly but not too formal which comes across in the way they feel relaxed enough to chat and really get to know us. There are so many team members we'll never forget for their kindness and sense of humour. I really hope we haven't forgotten anyone: thank you to our hostess July for looking after us and providing band aids for my blisters 💖. Chada for two memorable massages. Iban, our room attendant who we never saw because you're incredibly efficient and the room was always beautiful 😍. The speedboat crew, Umer and the sunset cruise crew. Divya and the bar team, thank you for keeping us topped up! Ylang-ylang team - the highlight. The chefs and their teams all work so hard to produce wonderful dishes 😊. In no particular order, thanks to Dee, Elin for always knowing what we want, Hana for your lovely laugh, Idhoo for keeping the drinks coming, our beautiful daughters Nora and Sapna, Merina, Rada, Raksha and Wintry. Nisha (whose makeup is lovely every day, not just the day I mentioned it). And Backstreet Boy Madhee, a one-man entertainment show! You made us laugh every day and we'll miss you (until we come back, which we definitely will). Read less

From the greet and meet at the airport to the departure, we were very well taken of. Michelle, our host for the trip, ensured everything was as per our liking. She was always available to help and was very responsive on messages. The villa by the beach gives you a very tranquil experience.
