OBLU SELECT Lobigili

Love is definitely in the air at OBLU SELECT Lobigili, a 5-star Maldives resort that opened in March 2022 and has already clocked up scores of rave reviews – much like its sister resort, OBLU Xperience Ailafushi. The name Lobigili translates as “Island of Love”, and you can’t imagine a more perfect backdrop for romance. There are 68 chic and contemporary villas peppered along a chalky white beach nudged by a cobalt-blue lagoon and surrounded by swaying palm trees. The small and friendly size of the resort gives it a special, intimate feel. And the (predominantly female) staff make sure you’ve got everything you need during your dreamy island escape. The top-notch resort facilities will keep you as active – or relaxed – as you choose to be. Don your tennis whites on the outdoor, artificial grass court set among lush tropical trees, or work up a sweat in the overwater fitness centre with lagoon views for days. For an indulgent experience, make a date with ELE ǀ NA The Spa, which boasts a range of pampering treatments to soothe your mind, body, and soul. And for a romantic night with a difference, a private cinema screening on the beach beneath the stars, complete with Champagne and canapés, is just the ticket. One of the island’s many stand-out features is its dining scene. Ylang-Ylang serves up delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner options from live cooking stations, tandoors, and an extensive dessert bar. Prepare to be wowed at Only BLU, the largest under-ocean restaurant in the Maldives – as a stream of exotic marine life shimmy by, you can tuck into mouth-watering, modern flavours paired with international wines. The poolside Swing Bar is the ultimate destination for cocktails, nibbles, and peachy sunsets, with a lively soundtrack to boot. For a casual bite to eat, head to the Gaadiya 17 food truck, which offers up farm-raised game meat such as wild boar, duck, and partridge.
