Maldives, Indian Ocean

Star rating

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.

Excellent property, relatively new and stylish, villas are designed very thoughtfully, with the soul. All inclusive package is very extensive, we didn’t have to think or plan anything, our kind host Saai had the schedule set up for us with daily activities, excursions and dining. We loved the undersea restaurant, very nice concept and it’s included in the package as well. Most resorts don’t have spa treatments within the all inclusive, but Oblu does and it’s impressive. Fitness facilities are one of the best in Maldives, you could definitely get fit there under the patronage of Lobigili’s fittest and kindest man - Randika who I a personal trainer on the spot. Complete beast 👌 Buffet at Ylang Ylang is also absolutely wonderful, it’s essentially a restaurant with a high standard food and excellent service. Special thank you to Elin, Jenny, also a sweet lady (forgot the name) who calls Jenny her mama :) We also wanted to thank Sumeda for his professionalism and keeping the buffet standard at its highest level. Proximity to Male is a great plus, it allows for more time at the resort both during the arrival and the departure. Read less

I have no words to express how good was the experience in the OBLU SLECT Logibili, really, everything was just perfect, and the care, attention and service you get from all the employees from the momment you meet them in the airport till you are back to the airport is just more than perfect. The island is mega beautiful, with all the services and commodities, food is just from another world, and every day a different menu is available, if you can experience the under ocean restaurant it's also an amazing experience, but above all I want to highlight the way we were treated by all the employees, specially by Rinki, who was our person of contact. She was helpfull with everything we discussed with her, and tried always to contirubute to make our stay to be more than perfect and she definitely achieved it. Without any doubt we will return to this resort. Read less

Staying at Lobi Gili is an experience. Each person from the team makes every effort to pamper you to the fullest. Esther was our Island Host who left no stone unturned to make us feel special. Room service was done twice a day which was a first for us. Our room had beautiful views and entire ocean to our disposal. Food was lip smacking be at Gaadiya, Ylang Ylang or Under Water Restaurant. The Swing Bar had amazing views and had activities planned during the day. It had a very chill vibe, exactly the way it should be. The Elena Spa was awesome. We could go on and on.... This experience will remain etched in our memories forever. Hopefully we will come back again to this beautiful resort. Read less
