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, 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.

This was the best holiday we have EVER been on. We were greeted by our island hosted, Rinki. She had booked all our complimentary activities prior to our arrival. Which took the stress out of everything. She booked an extra tour for us to visit a school at our expense. She was amazing! The sunset cruise and fishing trip were also amazing. We had an over water pool villa. It was absolutely stunning. We had Stingrays, manta rays, turtles, reef sharks and a nurse shark swim by our villa. Every day we had housekeepers clean our room and give turn down service. The people were super friendly and welcoming. And the food at Ylang and Oblu underwater restaurant was the finest dining I’d ever experienced . Our anniversary dinner was stunning. Rachelle had done up the table setting perfectly. And our bed had been decorated immaculately afterwards. I can’t fault anything. We will definitely be going back. Read less

Totally exciting and still relaxing plus romantic getaway vacation on Lobigili (adults only island) wiyh all inclusive. Read abt and looked videos before the trip, but the place, the food (we gained 3 kilos in 2 weeks 😋) and the staff totally blew our minds. The service was par excellence throught our stay. Also the hubby celebrated his big bday and the way he got attention and all the specials was superb. Thank you Lobigili (esp. Rinki, Sam &co.) 🥰 Everything (programmed excursions eg cruises, spa treatments etc) went smoothly. We loved our beach pool villa the next to the ocean - snorkeld almost everyday and just leisurely enjoyed our own pool, too. The house reef, colorful fishes and corals were beautiful - like swimming in the Disney movie "Looking for Nemo" 😆 The tropical rain and thunderstrom (lighting covering the sky but far away not on the island) one night was like extra lightshow made for us. Not scary - just amazing 🤩 Just remember to bring your SFP50, ocean shirts, -shorts and -shoes! There were no mosquitos. The minibar and the snacks were filled daily. Towards the end we didn't eat them since wete so full due to breakfast/lunch and dinner. 😄 Lovely mocktails available. The best vacation ever - meaning overtopping Hawaii and Aruba. Read less

It is very nice new hotel near Male (15 minutes by boat). Our hostess Rinki is very pleasant and her attitude to us is excellent. Food is tasty and varied, drinks are perfect. Our sunnest beach villa was very comfortable and cute. We recommend this hotel.
