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 stayed at OBLU SELECT Lobigili for 4 nights and 5 days, and honestly, we had such a great time. The island itself is beautiful, the water is amazing, and everything throughout our stay was very well organized. We really enjoyed the food — there was always a good variety and everything we tried was delicious. The cocktails were also great, and we spent quite a bit of time enjoying the bars during our stay. But what really made the difference for us was the staff. Everyone was genuinely friendly, helpful and always smiling. You never felt like they were just doing their job; they really made you feel welcome and well taken care of. A special thanks to our hostess July, who was always checking on us and making sure everything was going well. She was incredibly kind, helpful and attentive throughout our stay, and we really appreciated her. We also want to especially mention Sayan at the bar. He was one of the highlights of our holiday. Always smiling, always friendly, and he made some really great cocktails for us. We genuinely enjoyed chatting with him and stopping by the bar whenever he was there. Overall, we left Lobigili with really good memories. Beautiful island, amazing water, great food and drinks, but most importantly, wonderful people. Thank you to the whole team, and especially July and Sayan, for making our holiday so enjoyable. We would definitely love to come back one day! Read less

The views were unbelievable, especially the stunning color of the ocean and the vibrant marine life. This is the best hotel we’ve ever stayed in. Traveling as a couple, we loved the high level of privacy paired with exceptional service. The food surprised and delighted us every single day. A special thanks to our butler, July, who made us feel so welcome and went out of her way to accommodate all of our requests. We will definitely be back! Read less

Amazing experience. We stayed for 10 nights in a sunnest water villa. Everything about this resort was on point. Room service 2-3 times a day, great food (especially at Ylang-Ylang), and the service was outstanding. Will definitely come back!
