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.

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.

Our honeymoon in the Maldives was incredible, truly a once-in-a-lifetime, 5-star experience from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations: a welcome at the dock, breathtaking surroundings, impeccable service, and the warm, genuine hospitality that made us feel so special every single day. A highlight of our stay was our incredibly attentive hostess, Lisa. She went above and beyond to ensure every detail of our honeymoon was perfect, anticipating our needs with care and professionalism. She truly made us feel like VIPs and added a very personal touch to our stay. We also want to call-out some standouts from the staff, Rada, Elin, and Radin - their friendliness made our experience even more memorable. Their smiles, warmth, humour, and attentiveness created such a welcoming atmosphere and made us feel completely at home amongst the white sand beaches. The resort itself is stunning, the service flawless, and the overall experience unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to celebrate our honeymoon and will cherish these memories forever. The resort knows how to treat honeymooners and curate a fantastic experience - highly recommend! Read less
