OBLU SELECT Robigiri’s renowned undersea restaurant, Only BLU, has been awarded the prestigious Editor’s Choice Best Restaurant award at the TTM Awards Gala 2024. Known for its modern gourmet cuisine and breathtaking location 6.8 metres deep in the Indian Ocean, Only BLU has set a new standard for fine dining in the Maldives.
The TTM Awards & Gala 2024 is the highlight of TTM Maldives, the largest travel trade fair in the Maldives, held from 21-22 August 2024. The prestigious event attracted over 500 travel industry professionals and over 100 hoteliers, with over 3,000 pre-arranged meetings taking place.
Only BLU, the largest undersea restaurant in the Maldives, features a captivating horseshoe-shaped design offering all guests front-row views of the vibrant coral reefs and incredible marine life. Part of OBLU SELECT Lobigili’s exclusive Lobi PlanTM, Only BLU serves up exquisite multi-course menus for lunch and dinner, including meat, seafood, vegan and vegetarian dishes and a special kids’ menu, ensuring an exquisite dining experience for everyone.
“We are thrilled to be recognized for our commitment to providing an incredible dining experience with impeccable service,” said Christopher Baker, General Manager, OBLU SELECT Lobigili and OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi. “Guests can savour delicious cuisine whilst gazing at vibrant fish inhabiting the colourful and lush coral reef. It’s a truly spectacular sight, with everyone taking out their cameras when the sharks make an appearance. It’s also a popular choice for celebrating special moments or making romantic proposals.”
The award cements Only BLU’s position as the premier destination for modern gourmet cuisine and unforgettable dining in the Maldives. OBLU SELECT Lobigili, an adults-only five-star resort, has been named the #1 Luxury Hotel in the World and #2 Hotel in the coveted TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards 2024, topping last year’s impressive performance as the “Hottest New Hotel in the World”.
In the Maldivian Dhivehi language, “Lobi” means love and “Gili” means island. Located 15 minutes from Velana International Airport, Rovigili is a contemporary 5-star resort designed for couples and adults. With transfers, accommodation, meals and experiences all included, you can dine deliciously at our all-day dining restaurant, unwind at The Swing Bar with its infinity pool and cozy hammocks, sample aromatic grilled seafood at Gaadiya 17 Food Truck and experience the unparalleled ambience of Only BLU, the largest undersea restaurant in the Maldives. All this is part of our unique holiday plan, the Lobi PlanTM.
Guests staying at OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi, a neighbouring Colours of OBLU branded resort that is connected to Rovigiri Island by a jetty, can also make reservations at Only BLU. The restaurant is also open to Maldivians, expats and tourists not staying at the resort and can also be booked for private events and celebrations, making it the perfect venue for big moments and special gatherings.
