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.

My stay at Lobigili was absolutely flawless from start to finish. The moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm smiles and refreshing drinks, and the hospitality only got better from there. The overwater villa was stunning – spacious, immaculately clean, and with breathtaking views of the turquoise lagoon. Waking up to that scenery every morning was pure magic. The outdoor deck and direct access to the water made the experience even more special. One thing that truly stood out to me was the Chinese lunch served every day. As someone who loves Chinese food, I was genuinely touched by how delicious and authentic it was. It felt so thoughtful and considerate – a real taste of home in the middle of paradise. It made my stay feel extra special, and I truly hope the resort continues to offer Chinese lunch in the future, because I would love to enjoy it again on my next visit! The food in general exceeded all expectations. Every meal was a delight, with fresh seafood, a great variety of international dishes, and beautifully presented desserts. I would especially like to give a huge thank you to our butler, Lana. She was absolutely amazing throughout our entire stay – always warm, attentive, and one step ahead of everything we needed. Whether it was arranging activities, making dining reservations, or simply checking in to make sure we were comfortable, Lana handled everything with such care and professionalism. Her genuine kindness and attention to detail made us feel truly pampered and taken care of. She is a real credit to the resort, and we feel so lucky to have had her looking after us. The island itself is intimate and peaceful, perfect for couples looking to relax and reconnect. A special thank you to the entire team for making our honeymoon so memorable. We can't wait to come back! Read less

Me and my partner just returned from 10 incredible days at OBLU SELECT Lobigili, for my Birthday and honestly, it was one of the best holidays we've ever had. From the moment we stepped off the boat, everything felt effortless. The island is absolutely stunning, the water is every bit as beautiful as the photos, and the whole resort has such a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. One of the things that really stood out was the food. We've stayed at a few all-inclusive resorts over the years, and the quality here was on another level. There was plenty of choice, everything was beautifully presented, and we genuinely looked forward to every meal. The underwater restaurant was a real highlight and definitely an experience we'll never forget. The staff across the resort were fantastic. Everyone greeted us with a smile and seemed genuinely happy to be there, which made a huge difference. We'd especially like to mention the team at West Beach Bar, who quickly became one of the highlights of our stay. They were always friendly, remembered our favourite drinks, had a great sense of humour, and helped create so many enjoyable evenings. We also treated ourselves to two spa sessions during our stay. The spa is set in a beautiful location and both treatments were excellent. It was the perfect way to unwind and made us feel even more relaxed than we already were. A special thank you has to go to Belle, our hostess. She was amazing throughout our stay and checked in with us regularly to make sure everything was going smoothly. Whether we had a question, needed to make a reservation, or just needed a bit of advice, she was always quick to help. Having someone so attentive made the whole trip completely stress-free. What made this holiday so special wasn't just the beautiful surroundings, but the people. The level of service was exceptional without ever feeling forced, and every member of staff seemed to genuinely care that guests were having a great time. We're already talking about coming back, which is probably the biggest compliment we can give. Thank you to everyone at OBLU SELECT Lobigili for making our trip so memorable. We left with some amazing memories and can't wait to visit again. Read less

Travel Period: 2–9 October 2026 (Villa: 304) A huge thank you to Ms. Mechelle, my island host, and the entire management team for making our stay so special. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely cared for, and the beautiful surprises and thoughtful gestures throughout our stay made our anniversary and birthday celebrations truly unforgettable. A special mention to Ms. Carol, Ms. Nisha, and the entire team at Ylang Ylang Restaurant for their excellent service and warm hospitality. We would also like to thank the lovely waitress from West Beach Bar who was the first person to wish me a happy birthday—it was such a sweet and memorable gesture. Our wonderful housekeeper Ms Iban, also deserves a special mention. She always greeted us with the cutest smile and took such great care in keeping our room clean and comfortable. Her kindness and dedication did not go unnoticed. And then there were all the beautiful surprises—the special surprise before my spa treatment, the gorgeous bed decoration, and most importantly, the heartfelt DIY birthday card. That little handmade card was such a thoughtful and personal touch, and it truly touched my heart. The entire team went above and beyond to make us feel valued and celebrated. It is the little details, genuine smiles, thoughtful gestures, and sincere hospitality that made our experience so meaningful. We are grateful for all the effort, care, and love that went into making our celebrations so special. We leave with beautiful memories that we will treasure for a long time and will always remember the kindness and warmth of this wonderful team. Thank you, Ms. Mechelle, and everyone who made our stay so memorable. You truly made us feel at home while giving us memories we will cherish forever. Read less
