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, 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.

Incredible experience at OBLU Lobigili. Very attentive staff from the time we arrived until we left. Our hostess Rinki was in touch daily with the activities of the day and with the events we signed up for.
The food was outstanding and varied. Fresh press juices daily. Fresh egg station. Fresh Indian food and a variety of western food. Loved having sushi offered at lunch.
The OBLU underwater restaurant was AMAZING. Had lunch there and again the food was wonderful!! It was like eating inside an aquarium.
Stayed in the sun nest overwater villa with pool. Very private and the neighbors can’t see you and you can’t see them. The fresh water pool was refreshing after being outside or in the ocean.
Received two massages while there. One was included with our package. The masseuse’s were incredible. Enough daily activities to keep one busy.
This was an anniversary trip and the staff treated us to a beautifully decorated table and even extra attention.
I can’t rave enough about this resort. It was incredible!! I hope to go back again.

Koti our room attendant was wonderful with excellent attention to detail . Housekeeping are often the unsung heroes who only get noticed when things go awry but not a single thing could have been improved in our room under Koti’s stewardship.
The food in Only Blu and Ylang Ylang was of fine dining quality without the stuffiness in service . Special mention to Pallack in only blu , Nabeel and Novita in Ylang Ylang and Scothy in swing bar
This resort is worth every penny and the included excursions, spa treatments etc make it exceptional value .
We are already plotting to make what was supposed to be a ‘once in a lifetime holiday’ an annual treat

Outstanding hospitality and lodgings

Our experience with resort island was nothing but spectacular. The staff were warm, genuine, and extremely helpful. Our island hostess went above and beyond to ensure that we had a wonderful stay. We highly recommend OBLU Select Lobigili for your honeymoon or just as a getaway from the rigors of life. You won’t regret it.
Fantastic trip of a lifetime
