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.

This was the best holiday we have been on. Every single member of staff was lovely and they cannot do enough for you. We had Mechelle as our island hour who was amazing. Food was great. There is a main restaurant plus an underwater restaurant - we went there for lunch and dinner - and a food truck on the beach that serves dinner on the sand. There is also a spa and the trip came with two complementary massages. There is also a water sport centre. Ranil who works there was so friendly and very helpful. We did paddle boarding, canoeing and jet skiing. Everything was amazing. I would have loved to have stayed longer.

Absolutely superb location, brillant staff and fantastic service. Special mention has to go to Alpi our hostess who looked after us so well. It was our first visit to the Maldives and she went above and beyond to make us welcome. Also all of the staff were exceptional especially in the restaurants. Sumeda. Meerhu, Haydie, Elin were just a few but in fairness all of the staff were excellent. All of the food was delicious whichever location we ate at, with an added bonus that chefs were prepared to cook for you whatever was requested. We were in a Sun Nest Villa that had excellent amenities, cleaned twice a day by Iban, and had a beautiful outlook to a clean well tended beach. We loved this holiday and will definitely visit again.
