Luxury Hotels in Male City

We've spent a week on the island, in the end of December including Christmas. This was a very good time to visit the resort, as there are a number of festive activities including Santa's visit and presents for kids, Christmas dinner and lunch and some other singing and dancing events. Get a beach villa, as it is closer to restaurant and bar area, has its own beach and small terrace and safer for kids. Very important, villas on north-west side of the island are much better - the beach is bigger, wider, has less sharp corals and most importantly - almost no waves and wind. Other sides of the island are much more windy and the beaches are shallow and surrounded by wave splitters. Villas 415-430 are the best places on the island. Resort is quite new (built in 2022), so everything is looking great, staff is making sure that everything is clean and well-maintained, beaches are all nice and sharp corals are being removed from the sand almost daily. Villas are also looking great, cleaned daily, if needed. The AC is very quiet and keeps the villa as cool as you'd like it to without blowing directly to your neck. Wi-Fi is relatively ok, streaming is blocked, but video calling works effortlessly. Restaurant is spacious, so even though the resort was full we always found a place to sit. Choice of meals is pretty big, separate sections for Indian and International cuisine + an Asian corner with dishes from Maldives, Indonesia, China, etc. Choice of desserts is pretty big as well. Bar area is surprisingly nice, with great pool, big set of sun beds (never had to search for a free one) and a small beach. Bar is serving drinks and cocktails, and you can ask for a cocktails even if it's not on the list of free ones. During evenings the bar area is the usual place for events, live music and overall buzz. Shout to an excellent live band, you are amazing :)! Thanks a ton to all the staff of the hotel and yes, cannot recommend OBLU enough, great holiday!

Blue color of water, sand in front of the house, super nice personel, overall cleanliness.

A fantastic place with nice view and perfect service for you to relax

We travel to alot of places around the world but our stay at OBLU SELECT Lobigili was a unique and remarkable life experience, we had the best of times. Every aspect of our stay was taken care by OBLU SELECT Lobigili staff with the highest level of attention. The facilities were wonderful and functional. But the best thing about our stay was the staff, we didn't have any bad interaction with ANY of the staff during our stay. Moreover, I would like to especially thank our hostess Ms. Maryam who took very good care of us during our stay. Additionally, I would like to thank Chef Amir and Ms.Elena who went out of there way to make our time memorable and special, as well as Ms. Teju and all the staff at the Ylang-ylang restaurant for their hospitality and quality of service. All in all the experience was beyond our expectations and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and we recommend it for everyone who wants something special.

Location and the access to the beach and an amazing reef to snorkel

Cleanliness and condition - excellent! Ocean view from living room and bedroom - amazing!

Short but perfect stay in a 2BR Suite having an amazing sea view. The staff is very helpful and professional. Hotel is extremely clean in a pure Maldivian deco style. Perfectly located next to public room c beach with plenty of cafes and restaurants all around. Highly recommended.

The facilities, decor, hospitality

Joy is a spectacular destination for an escape with serene breathtaking views, amazingly hospitable staff, beautiful rooms, and a wide spread of food and beverages that would never leave you hungry. I believe all of this comes down to the amazing group of staff from the welcome received at the airport by Ms. Zulina, to the amazing reception of Ms. Sandali who was nothing short of extraordinary as she was the one who took care of us during our stay, to the amazing hostesses who always remembered us by our names at the Market and made our dine-in so special which include Ms. Gracia, Ms. Gita, the waiter Rozairo whose constant desire to quench our thirst and cravings, the wonderful chef at the food truck Shouhab who engages in delightful conversation while he carefully makes you a juicy sandwhich that makes you craving for more. Let us not forget Mustafa who was in charge of our table at the Palm beach restaurant and made our dine-in memorable and the bell boy and drivers Iyaan and Faizu who was always there to take us around and make us feel right at home. Joy Island is truly a destination that makes for unforgettable experiences, value for money, and thanks to the amazing staff who make it a sensational experience. I look forward to our next visit very soon

The staff were amazing - without exception - the key members all knew our names and made us feel very welcome. The quality of the food was exceptional - great choice with new dishes every night. The island is stunningly beautiful and reserved only for guests. Great gym and spa treatments. Can’t wait to visit again.
