Located in the North Malé Atoll, and a 15-minute complimentary speedboat transfer away from the Malé International airport, OBLU SELECT Lobigili is the newest property from the Atmosphere group of hotels. Introduced as an All-inclusive 5* resort exclusively for adults, the name ‘Lobigili’ roughly translates as ‘Love Island’ in the Maldivian language of Dhivehi.
Based on the adult concepts of seclusion and intimacy, 68 villas are built in modern décor with warm wooden floorings, a walk-in wardrobe, an open-air bathroom. On the beach the SunNest beach pool villas, all sunset-facing, with a sheltered veranda are just within a few metres of a white sandy beach, whilst, for those looking for overwater, the Nest Water villas, with and without private pools are a great choice.
Gourmet dining of breakfast, lunch, and dinner at Ylang-Ylang, the all-day dining restaurant, is available on the All-inclusive, Lobi plan. Ylang-Ylang also features live cooking stations, fusion Italian, pizzas, tandoors, an airconditioned salad area, and an expansive dessert bar. For spirits, wines, beers, signature cocktails, and mocktails are served at the Pool Bar. For an additional charge, the Gaadiya 17 Food Truck features specialty dining à la carte, while for once per stay based on a minimum of 4 nights, the ‘Only Blu’ specialty underwater restaurant is a possibility for guests who wish for a unique dining experience.
For added value, a limited amount of complimentary spa treatments can be taken at the ‘Ele l Na’ garden Spa, and the in-villa mini bar replenishments are done once daily for guests staying on an all-inclusive basis. Other excursions and activities organized by the Water Sports hut include snorkelling and diving, at the in-house reef, sunset fishing, stand-up paddleboarding, and kayaking, some of which are chargeable.
Connected by a walkway to its sister property OBLU EXPerience Ailafushi, guests will be able to explore the adjacent island, use the facilities and dine in the outlets. However, guests from Ailafushi will not have access to Lobigili.
The Travel Gallery Take – we are excited by the opening of Lobigili in the first quarter of 2022. Combing the excellent value for money that the Lobigili plan offers, with the quality that the Atmosphere Group properties offer, we are sure that this result will be popular with couples looking for the seclusion that an adult-only property offers.
