Time for Romance in The Maldives at
OBLU SELECT Lobigili
In the Maldivian language of Dhivehi, ‘Lobi’ means love and ‘Gili’ means island. OBLU SELECT Lobigili is, in essence, the island of love. This contemporary adultsonly 5-star resort allows for a truly romantic getaway, exclusively for couples. Set along a dreamy white beach and over a sparkling turquoise lagoon are 68 stylishly designed villas. Guests can experience colourful sunsets, exotic dining and snorkelling at the marine-rich house reef.
All guests stay on the Lobi Plan, a specially designed All-Inclusive offering that includes not only villa accommodation, delicious food and beverages, excursions and non-motorised water sports, but also a unique romantic dining experience at Only BLU – the largest underwater restaurant in the Maldives. Couples can also choose from a number of additional offerings to make their trip extra special, including private beachside movie nights with champagne and canapes, a private beach bonfire, heart-shaped bank for proposals, floating breakfasts and a romantic couples’ photoshoot.
A standout experience is the personalised fragrance service – upon arrival couples will receive a private
consultation with a trained aromatherapy island hostess. Guests learn about the impact of different fragrances and determine their scent palette, after which they will receive a signature scent which will be diffused in their villa throughout their stay. The resort’s ELE | NA The Spa is a tranquil spa complex featuring four secluded double treatment rooms with couples’ bath. Locally inspired spa treatments include:
Lobi Dhooni (Love Bird) - A choice of coconut shell massage or Maldivian sand massage, coconut body scrubs, nourishing scalp treatment, face mask and bath ritual. Hithun Hithath (Heart To Heart) - A couples therapy that uses organically treated bamboo stalks to massage the body followed by a relaxing facial and bath ritual.
Dhekanbalun (You & Me) - This couples detox package flushes out toxins through hot and cold stone therapy followed by a crystal face massage and bath ritual. For more information or to book, visit www.coloursofoblu.com/oblu-select-lobigili
