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.

We spent 4 nights at OBLU Select Lobigili for our honeymoon, and we honestly couldn't have chosen a better place. It was absolutely perfect from beginning to end! Everything exceeded our expectations. Our beach villa with private pool was a dream, with direct access to our own little piece of paradise. The beach, the crystal-clear turquoise water and the incredible surroundings made every day feel magical. The entire resort is beautiful, peaceful and incredibly well maintained. The food was fantastic, with a great variety of options, and every dining experience was special. And the staff was so kind, welcoming and attentive, always making sure we had everything we needed. A special thank you to Alpi, our Island Hostess, for her warmth, kindness and attention throughout our stay. She made us feel truly special. We would recommend this resort without hesitation to anyone looking for a romantic, relaxing and truly unforgettable experience. Thank you, Lobigili, for making our honeymoon so special. We would love to come back one day! ❤️🌴 Read less

I haven’t been back to the Maldives for many years so was interested to see what had changed ! Wow so much more commercialised . The island is near Male which means no long transfer ✅the downside is it’s not so away from the lights of other island so less idyllic. The island is a good size and not overcrowded. The accommodation is lovely , great sized rooms well equipped and maintained. Some nice touches like waterproof macs which can be useful! Servicing was great and the staff were excellent.There is no reception desk and you are assigned a resort host who what’s apps you daily . Our lady Mechelle was fantastic and really helpful. Much more personal than a reception desk . ! The check in procedure was welcoming but we had a very long wait for our room nearly 2 hours which wasn’t great after a long flight from the UK 😬. Also on departure you have to check out at a standard time , our departure wasn’t until 7.30 pm so they wanted to charge $450 for use of the room and food and drinks which I thought was way too much Instead we paid $100 to use the bar and have lunch and use a room to shower just before we left … I felt this was a bit penny pinching to be honest . Food was great the staff really tried to make varied options in the main restaurant and the curries are fantastic ✅. It would be nice if there were a couple of alternatives for lunch as other than the main restaurant there isn’t really pool food until 2 o’clock and that’s a bit limited.The underwater restaurant is FANTASTIC. As is Gaadiya the other restaurant. We visited the Spa 3 times which was fabulous. There was a very international selection of guests but the resort is quite quiet and laid back which suited us perfectly. Not the resort to go to if you want lots of entertainment although the night fishing is fun ! Overall a lovely resort not the most unspoilt Maldivian island but we had a fantastic time. Thank you .

Wow just wow what a place we had the time of our lives here memories I will treasure forever. Ruchika our host was outstanding throughout. Food incredible allergies no issues. Standard did not slip once. Every single member of staff was amazing and first class evening entertainment with safoora.
