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 had the best time even with the 7-9 hour rain downpour daily in early August 2026. Ruchika was an amazing host, answering all our silly questions and request a lot of it last minute. She really looked after us, Organising our meals, our countless failed excursions we tried to do(very bad weather) picking us up and dropping us at different places or organising someone else to pick us. The level of care she brings is exceptional standard that I don’t think any other place we go to, can ever bring. Practica upgraded our stay to water villa for 2 nights, which was amazing. And really grateful, as we know it was full capacity at some points. We bumped into her a few times and always asked us how we was and everything okay or needed to be done. The housekeeping came twice a day, which was really good and did an amazing job every time , can’t fault anything there, folded our clothes and put them in a pile aswell. We’d come back thinking our room will be messy from us leaving it crazily after my wife gets ready(as normal) but come back to a spotless room the smiles she brings us and relaxes us to spend time as a couple, best thing! The catering staff do a phenomenal job making such excusite food, best thing is every meal, everyday it’s new. We only stayed for 4 nights so we tried every restaurant, but lunch service we was excited to see what new menu they offer. The maintenance crew do such a hard job that goes unnoticed they are the workers who make guest feel comfortable making sure the pathway is level, cutting the grass and adding new one, fixing signs that the mini tornados/storm broke and so many other jobs, so I congratulate them in being the hidden warriors. The outdoor bathroom is something that still amazes me!! Would really recommend this place, for anyone else thinking. Read less

首先要夸夸我们的管家LANA，她总能快速响应我们的需求。餐厅的菜品十分美味，很符合中国人的口味。我们非常想念在奥静洛碧吉利度过的时光。 We would first like to praise our butler LANA, who was always quick to respond to our requests. The food at the restaurants is delicious, and it suits Chinese tastes really well. We miss our time at OBLU Select Lobigili so much.

We stayed at OBLU SELECT Lobigili for six days in October 2026 as a group of eight. The island is beautiful, peaceful, and well maintained, with clear water, a lovely beach, and a very relaxing atmosphere. The villas were clean and comfortable, and the overall resort setting was excellent. We would especially like to thank our two wonderful butlers, Belle and Mechelle. They were absolutely lovely, extremely attentive, and always ready to help us with anything we needed. They arranged everything smoothly and frequently went out of their way to solve problems for us. Their thoughtful and caring service made a big difference to our stay, and they were truly one of the best parts of the experience. Snorkelling was another highlight. The water was very clear, and we enjoyed the marine life around the island. The resort provides snorkelling equipment, and the snorkelling experience was enjoyable. However, we were disappointed with the water sports arrangement. Guests are only allowed to use the water sports facilities for 45 minutes per day, which we felt was too limited for a six-night stay at a resort that promotes water activities as one of its main attractions. With such a short time slot, it was difficult to fully enjoy....We hope the resort can consider a more flexible arrangement, particularly for guests staying for several nights. The food was varied and generally good, with plenty of options at the buffet and other dining venues. The evening atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant, especially around sunset. Overall, OBLU SELECT Lobigili is a beautiful resort with excellent butler service, great snorkelling, and a lovely island setting. Belle and Mechelle deserve special recognition for their outstanding service. However, the 45-minute daily water sports limit was a notable downside for us. If this policy is improved, the overall experience would be much better. Read less

Im not one to usually write reviews but felt that after we have experienced only two days of being here i not only wanted to but felt that i needed too for anyone wanting a honest review. My partner booked this this insanely beautiful island after a great deal of time and planning but shes picked extremely wisely. From the moment we arrived the team here at Oblu Select Lobigili have been nothing short of faultless the greeting after the speedboat to be then walked into the reception area where our host Belle talked us through the check in and explained everything with such kindness and detail it immediately felt like she not only wanted to provide one of the best check ins ive ever had the pleasure to have but knew from the get go this was going to be amazing. Normally you get given a drink your room key and left to your own devices but here is something i think i will never forget. She showed us about and ensured if we need anything she would be on hand via WhatsApp for anything we needed. We attended the Ylang Ylang Restaurant that same evening to be then blown away by the service and vast array of cusine not to mention the quality of the food. Next morning i had arranged with Belle to surprise my partner with a proposal lunch at OnlyBlu the underwater restaurant which again simply took my breath away with the restaurant itself, service and way they helped me arrange for a diver to come to our window table with a scroll asking ‘would you marry me’ then took photos and videos of the whole thing. Absolutely perfection!!! We both are currently in dream land and weve only been here for 2 days. I will update this but wanted to share with anyone looking for paradise as its here. Ive been to the Maldives a few times and experienced different islands but this is making me want to book it again already. Tbc Read less
