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.

I cannot stress enough how perfect this resort is. Whether you want romance, great food, even greater staff, snorkelling, activities or just a beautiful view then Lobigili has all angles covered and then some. The food is 5 star plus and we particularly love Ylang Ylang, the main restaurant for dinner, lunch and breakfast. The chefs are so passionate and the waiting teams go above and beyond.
We were lucky enough to have two weeks of wonderful weather and we made some great friends.
We particularly loved dinner at Only Blu, the largest underwater restaurant in the Maldives and the sunset boat trip. Even if it had rained everyday, I do not think we could have enjoyed ourselves any less.
The staff are the selling point of this island. There was not one interaction that we had that was not a joy. I wish I could name every single member here individually - they are a credit to OBLU. We cannot wait to come back!

We had a wonderful 11-night stay at OBLU SELECT Lobigili in September 2026. The resort is beautiful, peaceful and extremely well maintained, with excellent food, great facilities and a fantastic all-inclusive concept.
What really made our stay special was the outstanding service. A very special thank you to our hostess, July, for her professionalism, kindness and attention throughout our stay.
We would also like to thank Sailo, Sara and the entire West Beach Bar team, all the staff at Ylang Ylang, Carol, and the many other team members who looked after us so well. Everyone was friendly, attentive and genuinely professional.
The villa, restaurants, bars, activities and overall atmosphere were excellent. Lobigili is a truly special place, and the quality of the staff makes the experience even better.
A memorable Maldives holiday and a resort we would happily return to. Highly recommended!
