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’ve just returned from an incredible holiday and felt we had to write a review—something we rarely do. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations.
The overwater villas were absolutely stunning, offering both luxury and breathtaking views. The food was exceptional throughout our stay, with a fantastic variety and consistently high quality.
What truly made the experience unforgettable, though, was the service. The staff were outstanding—attentive, friendly, and always going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Nothing was ever too much trouble.
We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a special getaway. It genuinely deserves all the praise it gets, and we will definitely be returning in the future.

We had the most fantastic experience at Lobigilli. The staff were all amazing , the island was small and personal and our beach villa was perfect. The food and service was impeccable , from breakfast buffets, à la carte, dinner in the amazing Only blue and great grills by the beach at the food truck.
We had the opportunity to take a sunset beach cruise, sunset fishing and house reef snorkelling as well as using the gym and having g relaxing treatments at the spa, all as part of Oblus great Serenity plan.
Every single member of staff went out of their way to make our time at Lobigilli extra special, but we need to call out our amazing hostess Sarah, the “potions master” Saara at the bar, our lovely maid Asrid, the amazing Nisha and oh, ok, David the GM, who clearly managed the ship and his happy team wonderfully. We will return!

It was an unforgertable 10th anniversary for us. The island is really like heaven! We loved to be a part of it. It is quiet, calm, peacefull. When we wanted
to join some activities (such us water slide, beadh volleyball, maldivian cultural show) we went to sister island Ailafushi. In Lobigili we enjoyed the
amazing atmosphere and food. Gaadiya was an awesome experience like fusion kitchen. Only Blu was dreamy! We had a lunch there and couldnt
recognize how 2 hours passed. Ylang ylang the common restaurant was also really good. All the food is prepared with great care and taste. All the stuff
is very friendly, kind and helpful. Room was cleaning twice a day. And very special thanks to Sarah, our personal assistant, who makes everything much more better and whenever we
ask anything she was there to help/solve it. For watersports we tried stingray snorkelling and that was awesome experience!! We did house snorkelling
for twice, it was really good. Thanks Jessie for saving our gopro camera:) And for the spa it was sooo relaxing. We' ll recommend everyone Oblu Lobigili!

Lobigili did not disappoint

Just returning from Lobigili and there is little to say which is negative. It is exactly what we expected and what we wanted. Small, relaxing and friendly. The rooms are well appointed (we had a beach villa) and well serviced. One upgrade might be a usable speaker for our own music, but that didnt cause us any concerns.

Just returning from Lobigili and there is little to say which is negative. It is exactly what we expected and what we wanted. Small, relaxing and friendly. The rooms are well appointed (we had a beach villa) and well serviced. One upgrade might be a usable speaker for our own music, but that didnt cause us any concerns.
The restaurants were all top class. Each with its own style. Service was attentive and very engaged and friendly, which added to the experience rather than deteriorating it. The daily restaurant, Ylang Ylang, surpassed expectations. The underwater restaurant and food trucks were also all good.
Entertainment was definitely not intrusive, which we were happy with.
We cannot say enough positives about the staff and how friendly and attentive they are. It would feel harsh to single any of them out, but our hostess, waitresses and bar staff were all eager to please.
We will definitely consider returning in future.
