Opening in March 2022, OBLU SELECT Lobigili is an adults-only haven. Lobigili translates from Dhivehi as ‘Island of Love.’ With 68 vibrant chic beach and overwater villas, Lobigili island is ideal for a chilled-out getaway. Idyllic tropical vistas complemented by stylishly designed spaces create a secluded, castaway feel.

Adding to the indulgence is the Only Blu Underwater Restaurant, opening in May 2022. The unique, multi-sensory culinary journey features gourmet cuisine set against a colourful backdrop of marine life. Residents at OBLU SELECT Lobigili can also choose to stroll over to neighbouring Ailafushi island and experience a different world of enchanting sights, sounds, and culture.
OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi, opening in May 2022, is all about immersion in a free-spirited Maldivian vibe. In the local language of Dhivehi, ‘Aila’ means family and ‘Fushi’ means island. True to its name, this 268-villa resort brings a fresh, experiential environment where guests can enjoy an island escape.
A fun and chilled-out balance is at the heart of this tropical getaway. Guests can join a group Zumba class or book a 3D movie at The Dome, a futuristic 15-metre entertainment centre available from July 2022. Alternatively, they can choose to socialise with like-minded souls at La Promenade, offering exhilarating retail and café options, or experience alfresco dining at The Copper Pot Truck, offering fresh seafood. Along with the two new resorts, the COLOURS OF OBLU portfolio also features two rebranded resorts – OBLU SELECT Sangeli (earlier OBLU SELECT at Sangeli – opened 2018) and OBLU NATURE Helengeli (earlier OBLU by Atmosphere at Helengeli – opened 2015).
