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.

Patrice, Teeju, water sports staff were all wonderful - from the saxophone player to the professional and thoughtful boat crew and the cleaning staff who left us notes, towel animals, goodnight chocolates and drew us a surprise bath before bed... All these lovely surprises, the beautiful welcome back table and gifts such as champagne and the cute little turtle (ok I'm told it's a tortoise) and the great footage of us snorkelling by the guides... It's been a wonderful four day holiday and I'm still smiling though we're shocked by the 3kg weight gain! What can we say... Teeju and team fed us too well! The food was excellent... Very efficient booking with Ruzny the whole experience was a breeze... We also enjoyed the spa though we didn't go to the underwater restaurant Read less
