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.

Enjoyed it all, you really are looked after. Just a couple of adjustments needed to make it first class. Speciality restaurants are fantastic, but need to rotate the menus.

Enjoyed it all, you really are looked after. Just a couple of adjustments needed to make it first class. Speciality restaurants are fantastic, but need to rotate the menus. Drinks especially the water and wine need to be colder. You can book your lobi plan inclusions in advance. Suggest you book both the lunch and dinner slots at the underwater restaurant. Remember to book your Lobster Dinner (at a supplement) This is a very quiet yet beautiful island. I have visited three, this is by far the best. Am looking to return next year. A big thankyou to Jenny and Head Chef for helping with my wife's dietary requirements. Read less
