Star rating

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 perfect Honeymoon from start to finish. The staff were wonderful. Our hostess Belle sorted everything for us from special meals to trips. And Sialo in the bar was fabulous, friendly and very experienced. All the staff were 10/10 ! The food was incredible and we hope to return some day.

The all-inclusive Lobi plan was excellent value — food and drinks were fantastic throughout, with Chef Rahul delivering gourmet, beautifully presented meals with great variety. Dinner at the underwater restaurant, Only Blu, was the highlight of our trip — a truly magical dining experience. Special thanks to Nora (housekeeping) for keeping our room spotless, Sayan (mixologist) for his incredible cocktails and mixology class, Sam (island hostess) for flawlessly handling all our bookings, and Shayaaf and his team for a brilliant fishing and deep-sea snorkeling excursion. The spa was equally relaxing and professional. Every staff member, from the airport pickup team to the boat crew, was warm, polite, and well trained. Every minute of this adults-only resort was worth it — we’re already planning our return. Highly recommend! Read less
