This was by far our best holiday ever! An adults only island which is beautiful, it feels like your own slice of paradise. We stayed in a beach villa with a pool right on the beach, our room was super clean and serviced twice a day, and the bar fridge was stocked daily. All the staff were very friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. When you arrive, you are assigned a host for the duration of your stay. We had the please to meet and be assisted by MECHELLE. She was very efficient, friendly, accommodating and was available to us anytime to answer questions, make bookings for excursions, massages, restaurants etc. she would regularly check up on us to make sure we were happy and to see if there was anything we needed, her level of service was exceptional. The food was five star and exceeded our expectations. Overall this was a fantastic trip to a beautiful island, our stay was nice and quiet and very relaxing and we will definitely return

Celebrated our silver wedding anniversary on this beautiful island in February. What makes this place is the staff - Always smiling and so attentive . Special mention to our waitress Haidee whose customer service skills were amazing. Keep on smiling Haidee. Lots of other staff to mention too but the list is too long. Overall our stay was incredible , Sun nest villa was beautiful with pretty much our own private beach. If there was an improvement to made it would be the wine choices . Wine was not at a 5 star level with limited choice . There should be the option to be able to upgrade your wine like they do with the spirits . We also felt that the bar had no atmosphere and a lot could be done to make it a destination bar. Quality of food was superb and changed every day. Thank you to all the staff who bent over backwards to make your stay memorable .

I write this review whilst still in resort, before leaving. The rooms are beautiful, staff so helpful and happy/proud to be working at this resort. Quality of food is amazing - really great - breakfast, lunch and evening meals. Beaches are beautiful. Despite 100% occupancy it is always quiet, with a high ratio of staff to guests. I cannot recommend enough.........*5.

This resort was amazing in every aspect! A beautiful island. We booked through British Airways and stayed for 9 nights. The speedboat transfer from the airport was smooth and we were given an island tour by golf buggy on arrival! The staff were so welcoming and friendly. We had a designated 'island hostess' (thank you for taking care of us Akerke). Akerke was contactable via Whatsapp throughout our stay and we could book everything we needed either with Akerka or through the resort app. The benefits we received for our honeymoon made the experience really special. The food was extensive and delicious at all 3 restaurants, as were the drinks. The underwater restaurant was a fantastic experience (thank you to our server Pinki). The all-inclusive (Lobi plan) was brilliant, with not just food and drinks included, but also a lovely sunset cruise, an amazing snorkelling trip, and a 45-minute treatment at the spa. The spa was a lovely treat (thank you for the wonderful massage Diska). Lifejackets, snorkelling equipment and kayak hire were also included. We booked one paid excursion which was snorkelling with nurse sharks which was an extraordinary experience we will never forget! The over water villa was beautiful and spotless (cleaned twice daily) and had everything we needed including luxury toiletries. It had a semi-outdoor bathroom and a window in the floor to the sea below! We enjoyed swimming and snorkelling straight from the ladder down to the clear sea from our decking area. We also spent time by the shared infinity pool and bar and relaxing and reading on the immaculate beach. We cannot recommend OBLU SELECT Lobigili enough - it was paradise. Thank you so much to all the conscientious staff for a truly wonderful stay.

I have not read all the 5 star reviews but having experienced 6 nights here I can honestly say I can guess what they say. This is paradise. We stayed in a nest on the sea with a pool. That was magnificent. We did have a peak at the land properties too and I would book one on my next visit having done the nest thing. The food was excellent and the beer nice and cold, and plentiful. For me though, an excellent holiday is about the staff and service. You can be in the best place in the world but if the staff are not happy that reflects on the quality of the holiday. I can honestly say that every interaction with the staff was a pleasure. Everyone welcomed you with a genuine smile and their actions showed that they really cared. I wish I had a detailed list of the staff names who were excellent as there were many. But special mention to our host Akerke. She was very caring and brilliant, and nothing was too much trouble. Kim, our room attendant was brilliant too. Our room was always spotless and nothing was too much trouble. The staff at the restaurants were equally fantastic but special mention to Haydie and Ivy who were very caring, attentive, fun, and interested in our experiences. Thank you to everyone who made our stay memorable whether directly or behind the scenes. We would love to come back.

We were very impressed with OBLU Select Lobigili or ‘Island of Love’ from the moment we arrived. Our Beach Villa (115) was exceptionally nice, with its own dip pool and just steps away from a lovely beach. The food was of a very high standard and was a mix of a la carte and buffet style which was always beautifully presented. The staff were a real pleasure - always smiling and attentive, with particular thanks to Rinki, Natalie, Merina, Rachelle, Jenny and Teju for making our stay so memorable.

Exactly two years ago, after visiting Oblu Select Lobigili, we dreamed of repeating this beautiful adventure and returning to this wonderful island of love. We did it! After our last experience we thought that it couldn't be better and that nothing would surprise us. However, after arriving at the airport we felt incredibly taken care of and welcomed in a surprising way with thanks for choosing the resort again. After arriving at Lobigili we were greeted by Mechelle, who once again became our host (the best Island Host). Once again we felt at home. This time we had the opportunity to spend our vacation in a nest water villa on the eastern side of the island, which was a great choice because we are lovers of sunrises, which we could admire on the terrace. Just like during our previous stay, the service was at the highest level, everyone was nice and helpful and the food was fantastic. The biggest surprise during the stay was the birthday surprise for my wife, which Mechelle prepared together with her buddy Sam on the beach, which made this trip unforgettable.

Best holiday ever - I suppose it depends what you want but if a taste of paradise, amazing food, surroundings that really cannot be adequately captured with a camera, staff whose attentiveness and service levels are off the scale are amongst some of your criteria then this is the place. The staff are the resorts greatest asset - just a quick mention to a few but you could seriously list them ALL ! Our host Ruchika was incredible - we didn’t have to think about anything! she did it all - all of the restaurant staff but Xee was a sweetheart, everyone at the Swing Bar and a really cool DJ getting the mood just right. If you want a paradise holiday then this really is the place

Just arrived back from a 8 night stay at this wonderful resort. It really was top quality In everyway, from the arrival (which is very unique) we was met by our lovely host Lisa who was just brilliant she was there night and day should we need her. We stayed in a Beach Villa which was so Stunning, they are all outstanding but the slightly better beach ones in our opinion are 114 to 119, so if at the Airport they attach a tag to your case with one of these numbers start smiling, just foot steps from your Patio Door is the most gorgeous beach with a great reef just off shore. The Food here is just lovely in the Ylang Ylang Restaurant and for every 4 nights you stay you get a table at the Underwater Restaurant which is a truly once in a lifetime experience, the amount of fish and sharks you see is incredible, night time is slightly better than the day. But above all was the excellent service by all the Staff all over the Resort. They truly are the greatest Staff we have ever been fortunate enough to encounter on our travels. They are all so lovely and attentive and they all love there jobs which makes them very passionate and that is very rare at Resorts these days. One member of staff really stood out for us, Nabeel in our opinion will go far up the ladder within this chain, at 21yrs of age he was just way beyond he’s years. To the management of Lobigili look after this young lad he really will go far. If you are looking to book this Resort you surely won’t regret it.. It’s just amazing. Thanks to everybody for making our stay a memorable one. Room 118

As a difficult customer I would barely write reviews after a positive experience. But this place, Oblu Select Lobigili, deserves a detailed review since me and my wife spent an incredible week here in the paradise for our honeymoon. From the very first moment with this place, speedboat transfer from Male Airport, up until the last minute, the entire staff have been extremely helpful to us. Whenever we needed something, everybody did their best to deliver it as soonest as possible. Special thanks to Rinki, our island hostess during the entire week, who has been always there to help us when we had questions. She knows what she is doing very well. Special thanks to Teju, Sapna, Novita, Svetlana and Haidi on the main restaurant side (ylang ylang) who always assisted us with a cheerful and smiling faces and with positive attitudes. Restaurant performances need to be mentioned separately. All types, from a la carte (such as Only Blue) to buffet type (main restaurant ylang ylang) always made sure we had meals we would enjoy from different cuisines in the world. Special thanks to all the chefs. Yes the sea is amazing in this island, we enjoyed every second we were in the sea. However, this holiday wasn’t only about the sea, but also all the island activities made our overall experience an unforgettable one. From sunset cruise to the spa, we enjoyed all the activities we participated. Thanks Oblu Select Lobigili for an amazing honeymoon for me and my wife, this has truly been a once in a lifetime experience, and the best beach holiday on my personal end.

An absolutely amazing resort! We're celebrating our 30th year wedding anniversary and wanted something a bit more special and Lobigili did not disappoint in any way. After an 11 hour flight we were ready to enjoy some luxury! A 20 minute speedboat transfer and we were greeted at the jetty by a welcoming party and our host/butler for the duration of stay, Esther. Esther gave us all the info we needed and had already planned out various activities and table reservations for us. In fact, Esther could not do enough for us and, I'm sure, she went 'above and beyond' to make our stay even more memorable. The island is compact but has everything you need. A great bar and pool area, fantastic restaurants with a fabulous choice of wine and food. The beaches are superb with crystal clear water and great snorkeling. Our over-water villa was absolutely fantastic with direct access to the sea. Perfect for an early morning dip. Every member staff was just perfect in every way and an absolute credit to the resort. Attentive and efficient without being over fussy, but above all else, always smiling and making us feel welcome. This is a truly magical place and I cannot rate the resort highly enough. We Will Be Back!

Relaxing and clean adult-only resort with very nice food, a fabulous underwater restaurant and generally excellent service. Very scenic too. There are a couple of fairly minor points we made on our departure review: 1. The demographic was primarily over 40’s (maybe even 50’s) couples although there were several younger honeymoon couples - the issue was that the music played by the DJ near the swing bar, especially at sunset was more suitable for an Ibiza nightclub (constant thumping beat) than an ultra-cool adult only resort. It really needed cool lounge music. Secondly, our room was a sun-nest sunset water pool villa which was excellent apart from the horrible pink 6ft mirror on the outside deck. This partially obscured the sunset view and the pink paintwork was peeling off in every villa making the place look tatty (which it isn’t! ) They should be removed IMHO. The staff and management were quite young and disagreed with me about the music but we spoke to several guests who felt the same as us. I do hope they take note! Anyway, it didn’t really spoil things and we did in fact have a lovely relaxing time overall. The boat ride to and from the airport was exhilarating and ran on time. The underwater restaurant Only BLU was a fantastic experience and is highly recommended. Note that Only BLU is shared.with he adjoining (via a long bridge) resort which is not adult only so when we went to Only Blu for lunch there were quite a few excited children there too which did get noisy at times. On the other hand there were no children on the two occasions we dined there in the evening. The Ylang restaurant food and service was also very nice.

Although we have been visiting the Maldives for 10 years, this was only our second visit to Oblu Select Lobigili - our main reason for choosing it initially is because it is genuinely adults-only, but we would not have returned unless it had so much to offer. First of all, the staff are what really make this a first class resort. They are all absolutely delightful, professional and really make you feel welcomed and looked after. There are far too many who made us feel special to be able to name them all individually, but in particular we must mention Lisa, our Island hostess this year and last (ably covered on her days off by Mechelle) who really went the extra mile to make sure all our requests were catered for. In the Ylang Ylang restaurant, we fell in love with all the staff (who also rotate in Gaardia restaurant) - they manage to combine a really professional service with an ability to chat and share their delightful sense of humour with the guests. They are a lovely group of people and a real credit to Sumeda, the excellent restaurant manager. The chefs create a wonderful changing spread for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day and the effort put in for Valentine's day was truly amazing. Special thanks to Sachin for his wonderful breakfast dhosas! At the Swing Bar the staff very quickly recognised our routine for beer- and gin-o'clock and more often than not produced the required drinks almost as we were arriving! And on the subject of drinks, the mini bars in the villas are restocked every morning with soft drinks, wine and beers, along with bottles of fresh water and snacks. Our pool villa was perfectly situated, and although the view of the sea is obscured by the very tall bushes in front of the villas (apparently they are not cut back substantially because many guests like the privacy they give) the beach/pool attendants very kindly pulled our sunbeds and umbrella out on to the beach every day so we could enjoy that wonderful Maldivian sea view. They also rake the beach every day and scoop up shells and coral so it is pristine (although inevitably there are some remaining bits left at the edge of the sea which can be uncomfortable to walk over, so we would recommend taking some surf shoes if you plan to swim in the sea). We had a wonderful, restful holiday and would like to thank absolutely everyone at Oblu Select Lobigili - they are the ones who make it happen!

Oblu Select Lobigili is an adults only resort and is the sister resort to Oblu Select Sangeli, which is for families. Lobigili is close to the main island and can be reached by speed boat. From the moment you arrive, the Oblu makes you feel special. We stayed in the over water villa. They are small, but well equipped. There is an outdoor washroom which is lovely and roomy. From the deck we saw a manta ray and fish galore. There are 2 loungers, however only one chair, which makes it difficult to sit outside and have a morning coffee with your spouse. But, to Oblu's credit, we asked for an extra chair and within the hour, they had it delivered. Everyone there is very responsive to any requests. Upon arrival, we did have some issues with our room. The air conditioner wasn't working, one of the bathroom lights and deck lights weren't working. As soon as we reported it to the villa host, an engineer attended our room and fixed the AC and then later worked on the lights. The beach is beautiful, but the loungers on the beach are uncomfortable. But don't let that deter you. Just put a towel in the right place and you can lay there all day. The food is over the top. Every meal is fantastic!! And make sure you attend the spa. It was by far, one of the best massages I have ever had. The villa host is available to you 24 hours / day. We arranged for a private Big Game Fishing expedition at 6am. We did this through Oblu. They contract out a private company for this excursion. Our Villa host gave us a wake up call at 5am and then picked us up to drive us to the meeting point. Sadly the excursion was a disaster. The crew was late and they did not arrive in a bonafide fishing boat, but saying that the boat was equipped for fishing. The crew was somewhat knowledgeable in deep sea fishing but that's where it ended. The person driving the boat was driving so fast in rough water the bow was riding up so high and smashing down so hard, we were bounced off our seats so many times, I lost count. And when we finally reached our destination, it was beside the dump and construction site! I am not exaggerating. The smell was at times was so bad, I couldn't take it. We were in the Maldives, a place with some of the most pristine water in the world and the captain of the boat takes us to the dump to fish! I couldn't believe it. We also requested to troll which we did and then later changed to jigging because we weren't getting so much as a nibble. When we changed to jigging, that's when we found out there was no live bait! And there was no bucket storage or fish box, so there was no where to put the catch. The whole excursion was a really bad joke. The Oblu provides a complimentary sunset fishing tour and that was leaps and bounds better than what we signed up for. The Maldives is expensive, but the Oblu offers the best value for your money. The service is exceptional, the food is terrific and the staff is very attentive. It is a mid size resort that is not over the top like some other resorts, but that's what makes it personal and special.

From the greeting to the farewell AMAZING The staff were 7star. Nothing was too much trouble. Beautiful surroundings and the water villa was heavenly. The outdoor bathroom was a piece of heaven. Swimming in the clear turquoise sea with amazing fish including sharks. AMAZING. Freshly prepared food for all meals with delicious wines 3 times a day. Our hostess had everything organised and was happy to rearrange anything. Trips and activities included, the spa treatments were sublime. Eating in the largest underwater resteraunt in ASIA was fantastic although it is the same menu all the time. It was a special surprise for my birthday and the staff ensured my actual birthday will always be a treasured memory. I've never cried at the end of a holiday before but this time I did. FANTASTIC would give 10 *

We have just returned home from a wonderful holiday at Lobigili. We loved every moment. It really is 'Paradise'. We can't recommend it more. We loved it!!! It really is 5 star! +++ Every person who works there is lovely and happy, which is so pleasing. On arrival we were greeted in a fabulous unforgettable way, it was so special. I won't say what happens as it would spoil the surprise for others, but it was so memorable. Once we arrived we met with Rinki who was our resort hostess and my oh my did she do a wonderful job. She is so professional at the same time being adorable. There was nothing we asked of her, where she didn't help us. She has one day off a week and Patrice then took care of us in the same professional but kindly way. We had a beach villa which is divine and had everything we would need; with a splash pool leading onto a beach to die for. The sea was like a bath. Just perfection. We took our own snorkels and coral shoes which were ideal. The toiletries are from the 'White Company'! The lady who cleaned our room was Astrid and again she did this effortlessly but thoroughly, just perfect! The bar serves every drink you could wish for and again all the staff there are lovely, Andy, Sonam, Sara, sorry not to remember everyone's names but they were all brilliant. The Ylang-ylang restaurant is managed by Mo - we loved her - she is again so professional but gentle at the same time. All the Chefs, ( the head chef has the best smile ever), Waitresses make it a wonderful place to eat. Sadly we don't remember everyone's name, but we must mention Jennie, she was adorable. If you want something that isn't on the menu they will get it for you or arrange it for your next visit. We enjoyed the best Sushi ever. We used the Spa, again it was absolute spoiling at its best! Everyone was so welcoming and pleasing. We must praise the work of the people who clean and tidy the beach, and to the ground maintenance persons, they work so hard its never untidy, again just perfect. As we left; the love we felt from the people who saw of us all off (there were four of us leaving) all four of us, had tears. Never have I felt so welcome or so loved. We will be returning to Lobigili as we absolutely loved our holiday. CB we met on the way over to the island from Velana airport - he is a nice guy too - came over as a relaxed guy but oh my what an establishment to run. Lobigili really is 'Heaven on Earth'.

We spent 10 nights here at Oblu Select Lobigili. 5 nights over water villa with pool then 5 nights beach with pool. Personally i preferred the beach but thats just my preference. The villas were the same. Where do i start. This place is Paradise. The accommodation, the staff, the food, the location, infact everything was just perfect. The staff are amazing and too many to mention but our hostess was superb Akerke. Very good at arranging everything we desired. In the Ylang Ylang restaurant well too many staff to mention but special thanks to Sumeda who was amazing and ever so welcoming. Sachin on the Indian counter who was so warm and friendly making us our favorite Indian breakfasts and extras too. Special thanks to Citra, Dechan , and Sapna who always made us so welcome and attended to our every needs. There are too many to mention by name but they were all friendly and helpful always welcoming you with a smile. If you are looking at staying here look no further, you will not be disappointed. I can honestly say we had the best all inclusive holiday we have ever had. First class in everyway. Thanking you all for this amazing holiday. Wishing everyone of you the best .

We celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary at OBLU and it was perfect. From the moment we arrived to our last evening there the staff made absolutely every attempt to make it a magical vacation. Our hostess Ruchika deserves an enormous recognition. She absolutely knows how to make anyone feel in paradise. She was so personable yet extremely efficient nothing was overlooked. The rest of the staff including everyone at the restaurants and bars were amazing. Shout out to Alpi, Rochelle, Teju and Maya! And we can’t forget Astrid who kept our room ready for rest every night. Then there was the food. Nothing we ate was not an amazing dish. We just wished we had more room in our bellies since there were so many choices for every meal. The chef definitely knows how to please any palate. And then of course the property was impecable. We were in awe of how environmentally friendly the resort is. The beaches and water were stunning. There’s enough to do throughout the day but if you only want to sun bathe and swim you won’t find a better place on earth to do so. My husband and I fell in love with snorkeling. The coral reef around the property offers enough surprises, we saw small sharks, puffer fish, all kinds of colorful creatures swimming around. We will remember the memories we made that week for a very long time.
