Atmosphere Hotels & Resorts to open two new Maldives properties

Both resorts are part of the group’s new Colours of Oblu brand 

Atmosphere Hotels & Resorts has announced the opening of two new Oblu resorts in the Maldives: Oblu Select Lobigili, opening in February 2022, and Oblu Xperience Ailafushi, set to follow in March.

Both are part of a new brand collection, Colours of Oblu, centred around the group’s ‘Joy of Giving’ ethos, targeted at “families, couples, honeymooners or global nomads”.

The two resorts will be located in the North Malé Atoll and accessed by a 15-minute speedboat ride from Velana International Airport.

Oblu Select Lobigili will be adults-only, with 67 beach and overwater villas, an underwater restaurant and a secluded, laid-back feel

Oblu Xperience Ailafushi will be home to 268 villas and facilities include The Dome, a futuristic 3D entertainment centre (opening in July 2022), and La Promenade, offering shops and dining spots including The Copper Pot Truck, serving seafood.

Stephane Laguette, chief commercial officer at Atmosphere Hotels & Resorts, said: “We’re delighted to announce the official launch of our Colours of Oblu brand. Each resort with its own personality and distinct story comes together to form the enchanting Colours of Oblu.”
