North Male Atoll, Kaafu Atoll hotel rooms at the Independent

"Overall, my stay was absolutely perfect, with the exception of the food. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the amenities were top-notch. However, I struggled with the dining options during my long stay. Many dishes had a strong Indian masala flavor, which was quite difficult for me to eat. I also felt that the variety of food and beverages was somewhat repetitive. If the resort hopes to attract more Korean guests, I strongly suggest diversifying the menu to accommodate different palates. Struggling with meals was tough, but aside from that, the resort itself and the hospitality were flawless."

"The room is very clean, it has a balcony facing the beach. We like the set up of the room, bathroom has separate shower room and toilet and a bath tub in the middle, 2 separate sinks and in an open air. Lighting is very good. Breakfast has a lot of food options, delicious. Staffs are welcoming, attentive, friendly and courteous. The airport transfers is safe using big ferry boat. It was our first time in Maldives and staying within the Atoll was a good idea because it is close to the airport and an exclusive resort. Highly recommended."

"We went to celebrate our 10 th year anniversary and stayed 5 nights. The resort is wonderful and the staffs are fabulous. Everyone was very helpful and welcoming. Abdullah , Deepu , Firey and Neil made our stay much better by providing exceptional service."

"Amazing stay"

"The rooms are always spotless thanks to a team of genuinely kind and attentive staff who make sure you have everything you need. Everyone from the bar team to the restaurant staff is incredibly welcoming and goes out of their way to accommodate your requests. The chef is especially open and accommodating with dietary preferences. The spa is beautiful, relaxing, and offers excellent massages (just be sure to book in advance, as it fills up quickly). I felt very safe throughout my stay and would highly recommend it also to solo travelers. The warm, friendly atmosphere makes you feel at home, with staff who truly care about your comfort and experience. You are taken care of from the moment you arrive at the airport and the island’s location is excellent, after a long journey, it’s just a short boat ride, and you’ll arrive in about 15 minutes."

"Everything about Oblu Select Lobigili was amazing. From the staff to the facilities to the food. Amazing amazing amazing!"
