Or for a taste of adventure, collect a complimentary stand-up paddleboard, kayak, or set of snorkelling equipment and set off into the blue waters. During their stay, guests can also join one sunset fishing excursion and one Indian Ocean excursion, completely free of charge. Or, for something more relaxing, the onsite spa provides a selection of soothing treatments in a serene setting, with one complimentary service every four-nights.

Diving from OBLU Select Lobigili

During their stay at OBLU Select Lobigili, guests can head to OBLU Xperience Ailafushi’s own dive centre - simply follow the meandering walkway to the neighbouring resort. OBLU's partner dive centre, TGI Maldives, is one of the most-experienced chains in the country. Their friendly international team leads all kinds of underwater adventures and offers diver-friendly facilities like comfortable custom dive boats, free nitrox, and well-maintained rental equipment. New divers will love their professional PADI instructors and relaxed experiences on the island's house reef. If you're up for more adventure, some of North Male Atoll's best dive sites are just a short boat ride away. TGI Maldives also offers camera rental and instruction, photo and video packages, and modern facilities for personal camera equipment.

North Male Atoll is a classic Maldivian diving destination, known for its plummeting channels, current-swept corners, walls, and thilas. But don't worry, it has plenty of calm lagoons and protected coral sanctuaries as well. Every year between May and October, the atoll also becomes a hotspot for reef manta rays. Plan your visit during these months for a chance to swim alongside these massive ocean acrobats.
