The Love Island
Cosmopolitan India|July - August 2022
Pristine waters, surreal sunsets, luxurious beaches, and overwater villas will steal your heart at the charming, new OBLU SELECT Lobigili in Maldives. Cosmo experienced the property ahead of its launch, and here’s all your need to know about it.

The Love Island

 

Living in isolation for the past two years has turned many of us into homebodies. And if your idea of self-care now involves quiet time for two, this secluded resort located on one of the 1,200 islands that make up the Maldives will allow you to do so with killer views for company.

The Maldives has been blowing up on our Instagram feeds for a while now. And a significant reason why the buzz refuses to die down is because of how exquisite the scenery is...and its proximity to India. A short flight from most Indian cities will set your exotic vacation in motion. And the Velana International Airport—which, by the way, claims its own island—might be a fraction of the size of other airports across the globe, but their visa on arrival process is seamless.

Once you land in Malé, OBLU SELECT Lobigili is a swift, 15-minute speed-boat ride away. The boat ride in itself is an unforgettable experience, for it takes one through the blue-green waters that are so famously photographed by travel buffs as soon as they enter the Maldivian territory.

As one gets closer to the property, you can spot a beautiful, heart-shaped island, which will remind you of a romcom setting. Interestingly, in the Maldivian dialect of Dhivehi, ‘Lobi’ means love, and ‘Gili’ means island. You can even opt for a private dining experience on this mini island, which also makes for the perfect spot to declare your love to your SO (or even propose to them).
