Wonderful

Pros: The location, very beautiful and relatively close to Male; the villa we stayed was stylishly designed, private access to the sea, the view was breathtaking. Delicious food; variety of activities included in greatest all of inclusive package. New Year eve gala dinner was very luxurious and sooo much variety, fireworks on NY night were next level! We were departing late from Male and the resort was kind enough to accommodate the request for late check out, we had 2 full meals on our departing day, which was really nice of them. Overall, we had a great time on Oaga and would love to come back one day.

Cons: 3 times during our few days stay there was power cut off, only in our villa (according to the staff it was due to the heavy rain, but it was a bit annoying that it kept on repeating and only in our villa for some reason). Water refilled only once a day was not enough for 3 adults during hot weather; sometimes staff forgot to replenish coffee/sugar/cream, we had to remind or request frequently. Quality of housekeeping and room service should be improved. Our guide was pleasant and friendly but not always responsive/quick enough when we needed urgent help with power supply or other issues. The concept of food carts at the main restaurant is interesting, but due to the fact that the cooking/grilling is done inside the seating area there was very strong food smell all the time, it was a bit disturbing and not pleasant.

Pros: My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights and it was wonderfull. The staff was very friendly, always had the smile on their faces. Our villa was beautifull and colorfull, it was cleaned every day. The weather was not so great but we had fun all the time because of great resort activities such as cooking & cocktail lessons, art workshop, jet ski, fun tube, kajaking... We celebrated New Year's Eve in resort and it was the best galla dinner with DJ party afterwards and amazing fireworks above the ocean. Priceless! Heaven on earth. Recomend it to everyone...

Pros: Extremely happy, warm staff, like my family, shasu was very nice and helpful, the manager also, since we did an overnight trip, they offered a day use villa to have a rest and sleep until our room is ready. The speedboat transfer and airport greeting was excellent, not like other islands resorts, you don't wait for hours until the boat is full, they pick you up straight away to the island.

Pros: Новый отель с интересной концепцией и очень внимательной и отзывчивой командой! В пакет услуг максимально включены очень разнообразые развлечения (рыбалка, водные виды спорта, рисование для детей). В начале отдыха на острове было очень мало отдыхающих. Хотелось бы сказать Спасибо. И еще:временами цена иногда бывает очень интересная (нужно мониторить), бывают дни, когда она очень существенно падает, чем мы и воспользовались. Отель прекрасно бронируется из РФ с использованием карты РФ (мы применили Визу от Сбера). Оплата на месте. Отель еще не полностью введен в эксплуатацию (например виллы на воде еще в процессе постройки), но отдыху это не мешает.

Könnte exklusiver sein

Pros: - Sehr bunt durch das Art Konzept. Mal etwas anderes. - Man hat einen eigenen Buttler. - 5 min Jetski und 5 min Banana Boat waren inklusive. War aber eher eine Abfertigung, als ein exklusives Erlebnis. Zusätzlich konnte man noch Handangeln gehen. - Obwohl noch teilweise gebaut wird, hat man das nicht mitbekommen. - Hochwertige Schnorchelausrüstung - Es hat dort sehr viel Personal, welches sehr nett ist. - Der inkludierte Transport hat sehr gut geklappt und ist ca. 1 h von Male.

Cons: - Das Essen ist wie auf einem Food Market gestaltet. Man muss teilweise zu den Ständen hin um zu sehen, was heute serviert wird. Das macht es weniger exklusiv. Ich finde das Konzept für ein nobles Hotel nicht so geeignet, aber etwas anderes. - Die Tische für Mittag- und Abendessen sind nicht nah am Meer. - Alle Kunstaktivitäten kosten extra und das obwohl es ja extra ein Art Resort ist. - Der inkludierte Schnorchel-Ausflug, war auf der Insel selbst. Das habe ich anders erwartet. Sehr enttäuschend. - Die "Buttlerin" war süß und mega nett nur hat Sie nicht immer vorausschauend gehandelt. Organisiert war aber das meiste gut, bzw. sie konnte es schnell beheben. - Für die Häuser ohne direkten Strandzugang gab es zu wenig Liegestühle. Generell hätte es mehr Liegestühle geben dürfen. - Das Art Konzept macht das Resort etwas weniger exklusive. - Nettes Hausriff, aber keine Haie, Rochen oder ähnliches Aufregendes gesehen.

Amazing

Pros: Truly great place, seemed like paradise. The villa by the beach was beautiful. We particularly liked the amazing staff, everyone was so nice and helpful and the great food (I can be a picky eater). I never saw such good and high quality food in an all inclusive hotel.

Cons: All the extras (for exemple : cocktails that were not on the all inclusive list / any activity) were crazy expensive. If the activities were a little bit more affordable we would have done more and enjoyed our stay even more. We were a bit disappointed to learn that the 20 mn free jet ski did not include letting you ride with the person you travel, you had to go only one person at a time with a member of the staff. In order to go together you have to pay extra money which in my opinion makes no sense. In the same way the 50% on the diving does not apply for the 2 people traveling, which means the second person has to pay more than USD 200 for a 30 mn dive! In my opinion the prices are out of proportion. Little problems of timing for the transport from and to the airport, the hotel should be more careful.

Pros: So many things to love! There was so much to do, we didn’t even get to fit in all the all inclusive activities in a week! Everything was just top notch, we loved the Art twist to the holiday, we loved the idea of a island community, where the staff were part of the fun and so knowledgeable about the Maldives history and the island ethos. this is not just another 5 star resort in the Maldives, it is a 5 star resort with depth and character and a heart.

Wonderful Resort

Pros: We had a wonderful stay at this newly opened resort, in a beach villa surrounded by lush tropical vistas with spectacular ocean views and an easy access to the beach. The villa has a unique design and colorful painting making the resort distinguished from others. The free speed boat transfer is included and this is a plus to the payed money value. The resort is all inclusive for foods and some none motorized water activities, as well as a nice sunset cruise. Overall, the food is outstanding with good varieties for each meal. Breakfast is also excellent, yet more fresh juices could be added to enhance the overall flavor. The staff are very friendly and attentive, with high attention to satisfy guests needs. Special thanks goes to all staff and particularly to Miss Harnie our butler for her distinguished attention.

Cons: the small speed boat for airport transfer

The best!!!

Pros: Oaga is fantastic!! The staff are the best, the room was absolutely incredible, and it was all-inclusive for everything! You literally can't get better value anywhere else at this high standard in the Maldives. Everything was absolutely top notch! Dasun was an unbelievable bartender, we did a cocktail making class with him and made the best cocktails and had the best experience. Bob was a fantastic night snorkel & scuba instructor. The restaurant manager & supervisor are so friendly and accommodating. We really had the best stay here.

Cons: I was booked in to go scuba diving one morning at 11am. A large family group was due to dive at 9:30am the same morning, but they showed up an hour late. As the staff are so accommodating, they went ahead and took that group out at 10:30am when they eventually arrived, which meant my dive was delayed by nearly 3 hours which messed up our afternoon plans. Activities could be planned better.

Pros: Il resort è un paradiso. L’isola è incantevole e le camere sono top. Sia le beach villas sia le water villas. Il personale della struttura è estremamente gentile e sempre pronto a soddisfare anche la più piccola richiesta per far avere un esperienza indimenticabile. Il pacchetto All inclusive è un vero all inclusive e ti permette di lasciare il portafoglio in camera per tutto. Molto adatto anche a famiglie con bambini

Cons: Praticamente nulla ma se devo fare un appunto per un’ eventuale miglioramento direi di aumentare la disponibilità durante la settimana delle escursioni in modo da poter recuperare più facilmente quando un’escursione viene annullata per le condizioni metereologiche.

My husband and I just returned from a 4 day break at this beautiful resort. From the moment we arrived, our super efficient and friendly butler Maftuna ensured that we were extremely well looked after! The food was always great, and there was a lot of variety on offer! Your water sports team ensured we did not miss out on a snorkelling experience of the house reef despite our inexperience! Our water villa was absolutely delightful and really thoughtfully laid out. It will certainly help if you manage to get an intercom system in place along with a room service menu. Thank you so much for a memorable experience!

Oaga promises you all the greatest all inclusive, but in fact you have all the worst nothing inclusive.||But lets start from positive moments:|- nice decor and design. We stayed at Water Villa, #508 and it is nicely furnished, have spacious outdoor place and many light scenarios. |- resort is new, so furnish, equipment etc are fresh.|- island is quite big.|- spa is good. But extremely overpriced (150$ + taxes per hour)||This is everything positive I can say.||Oaga is very far from 5*. It is most likely extremely overpriced 3* resort. ||- bathrobes are thin waffle pieces of fabrics||- in room mini bar contains tea/coffee, 1 bottle of wine per day (cheap one, $6 per bottle), 2 beers, 2 cokes, 2 sodas and 2 small Pringles packs. This is what they call "greatest". ||- room cleaning is below exceptable. Nobody cares much to clean when you are out. Every second day cleaning were in process, when we are back to villa after breakfast or lunch. Cleaning itself is not detailed: we had a paper in a corner during all our 10 nights stay. Also because of bathroom outside location, towels are wet all the time. Villa pool was dirty half of our stay.||- food is a disaster. On breakfast you will finish your coffee, salad and morning chat before they bring you omelette. Most likely you get not the omelette you ordered, but random one. Take it - or leave it.|First 2 days we had no seafood. Only a choice between cheap fried chicken and tasteless tuna steak. NY eve dinner was the one you expect to be an everyday dinner at 5* Greatest all inclusive.||After a scandal, they add some shrimps to dinner menu. But it is still very poor. Do not even try sushi - you will be very surprised with how bad rice can be😅.||All fresh juices - at additional cost. You do not have any even during breakfast.|All free wine you can choose from is smth no name and can hardly be named wine. Sparkling wine is Brazilian (!) smth😒. If you want a bottle of FREE wine on a table of 4 - you have to pay😅. Their greatest conception gives you an option to order wine by glasses. ||- life music is every day. Every meal time. Songs do not differ much. Singers are far away from easy listening. On day three you want just background music. On day six you want silence. Resort seems to be a place for every Maldivian who wants to sing or play guitar or paint or anything. And you have to listen to it and to watch it.||- animation during NY days was very obsessive. Lady with glass ball simply made us watch her perfomance though we showed her clearly that we want to eat, not watch.||- they have no reception/customer desk, but give you a personal butler. We had Maftuna and we cant say we are happy with her service. You have to plan everything instead of her, and insist she does all bookings. You also have to double check if she did bookings or not.||Paying $1500 per night you expect to enjoy nice service, tasty food and wide range of drinks. We choose Maldives as a quite place for relaxation. Oaga is not this place and have a few chances to become such. Very dissapointing start of the year.|

Были в данном отеле с мужем с 01 по 06 января 2024 в вилле на воде. |Нам очень понравилось, на вилле есть все и даже больше. Бассейн большой, можно именно поплавать, а не просто посидеть, горка классная, кровать удобная. Кондиционер отлично охлаждает зону отдыха. Единственное, ванная и туалет находятся немного на открытом пространстве, немного не ощущается приватность и соответственно там нет кондиционера. |Вход в воду комфортный, однако сильно много живности именно под виллой не увидели, для этого наверное лучше брать экскурсию (снорклинг, предоставляется отелем в рамках all inclusive). |В плане питания разнообразия хватало, было очень вкусно!

This resort gives lots of empty promises and fail to deliver..||||- While on email, promised early check in etc due to our very short holiday. In spite of us arriving one night earlier to get to the resort early, we ended up arriving in the resort in the afternoon at 1 pm because they made us wait all morning for other guests to arrive to share the ferry to get over to the resort.||- Was told there was tennis court with rackets etc provided. Actually there is no tennis court. Just a miserable half size badminton court by the beach. Rackets and||shuttlecocks are tattled and torn - totally not usable.||- Though we paid for all inclusive package. Activities are frequently just cancelled at their whim and fancy. No sunset cruise. No Fishing cruise. Weather is not good? - Not true!! Weather was really good those evenings - Not enough guests for the activities is probably the real reason. No Beer tasting - no stock, beer did not arrive. No gin tasting - canapes are not ready. Really? Just one small tart and 1 stick of a piece of cheese with a grape. They seems to be on cost cutting measures. Even when there is finally gin tasting - it was cut to 2 gin tasting instead of 3. ||- Went for breakfast at 7am - Sorry, breakfast will only start at 7.30 am - Showed them the published time of breakfast - oh, we are slightly late this morning. Of the 3 days we were there - one morning we were told - no coffee today - coffee machine broke down. Another morning - no waffles today - waffle machine broke down. ||- Went for one hour snorkelling. Ended up waiting for another couple who suddenly||turned up and decide to join. Waited for them for 30 mins to go to their room to change and then they struggled to learn to get ready with their snorkelling equipment. Finally, the instructor told them to wait at the beach for him. He took us out to the reef for a quick 10 minute snorkel and we had to head back as he needed to take on the other couple - Ridiculous!! Anyway, their house reef is NOT ready.||- The villa is not well designed. Once it rained, the pool turns totally murky with mud.||Loads of ants all over the villa. Towels are totally soaked in puddles on the chairs||by the pool. The sunken bath is stuck with fallen leaves etc. ||||Nett, we wasted our precious holiday at the Oaga Resort.

The island is in north male 45 min boat drive, it is part of an artificial lagoon with others that has been developed recently to host this brand new resort. The villas and the restaurant are really good, service is great and it is a good idea to offer an underground Maldivian pop style in all the facilities including rooms. We loved the service in particular our butler Ath har always available to entertain our daughter Carolina and the chef Junaina who baked a cake for her birthday. However I was surprised to have seen so little fish and barely difficult to spot after several snorkeling sessions, as they offer so many activities included I would suggest to include a 3 hours reef snorkeling session in an island where visitors could see real fishes as this seems a big gap based on an artificial coral reef, also some activities where not really interesting and perhaps not something related to a Maldivian resort. In general it doesn’t feel a 5 star experience even though the offer and quality/price is reasonable. Recommended for some different experience from the typical luxury resort but not for sea explorer as not a lot to see.

Oaga Art Resort is a carefully curated breath of fresh air for the curious mind. It is not literal or shallow, but a refreshing dive into the immense depths of innovative creativity. The random spots of paintings and artwork traces a spirited history, and a culture ripe with the richness of lives lived and gone; an uncensored depiction of the true essence of the Maldives. There is a story in every piece, plant and structure. The story is not loud or flashy in its design, but subtlety present in the atmosphere of the island itself, softly speaking to the inner child of every person walking its paths. The playful manipulations of light and ambience hints at the greater universe just past the high sloping roofs, constantly reminding you to stay humble and grateful for the blessings of the day. The island warmly welcomes witnesses to its existence, as it is now; brimming with the joys of life. It is thankful for us, here at this moment in the continuously flowing river of time. Aanlheoa, aanlheoa, aanlheoa.

We stayed at Oaga for one week in December The villa was wonderful, clean and with a private outdoor pool. The outside Maldivian bathroom was beautiful. Food and beverage were good, we tried a lot of local meals. All the staff was very kind and careful. We strongly recommend to book a vacation here!

Oaga Art is just an amazing resort and a must visit. We had such a memorable trip (2 adults and 2 kids, 9 & 11 years old). Everything from the facility to activities are just too good. The big plus is that it is an all inclusive resort with great services, activities and property. The entire team in Oaga is simply awesome they are just so friendly and willing to support always. We felt welcomed from the time we stepped in with a welcome dance and then we had butler assinged to us for our stay who helped us throughout our stay. From food to activities to staff, the property everything was just so well awesome

Amazing Resort with Superb Staff. F&B was fabulous.Rooms were innovative and felt different from any standard 5 star properties in a good way. Water sports and housekeeping personnel were good. Keep the good work going guys.||||The team arranged for a honeymoon night for us when the reservation personnel Ali, came to know we never had such a trip due to the covid restrictions right after my marriage.||||Only suggestion is that please keep the intercom facility as the buddies assigned to each family are overloaded and in case of emergencies and time stringent activities, it causes trouble especially when you are travelling with an infant. WhatsApp mode is fine, but not the best to have if the buddy is loaded as such miscommunication made us miss our only cruise which had planned to have in 5 days and also in case of an emergency, we could not received ice and water on time. I am sure you guys will work on it as I understand it is a new property.||||I will not deduct your rating as you guys went above and beyond to help me with all you could where possible. Hence, thanks for it. Cheers.||||

Amazing resort with superb staff. F&B, Water-sports, Room service— all the teams were amazing. They will go above and beyond to keep you happy. The rooms were well-maintained and beautiful. The intercom facility is something which has to be procured for better communication in case of emergencies and time stringent activities. But I can not deduct your rating for this as I know you will definitely work on the same as it is a new property and it may take some time, which I understand. Rest all is great. Thank you entire team for a lovely experience and arranging the honeymoon night for us on coming to know we could never have it due to covid restrictions.

Скорее всего ,за организацию , строительство и управление Оаги взялись люди, далекие от гостиничного бизнеса. Иначе сложно объяснять это дикое несоответствие цены и сумасшедшей концепции отеля. Нужно понимать что это не традиционный Мальдивские отель . Это хостел с претензией на люкс, по цене хорошего мальдивского отеля. Отсутствие кондиционированного помещения для приема пищи говорит о многом. Про дизайн- ощущение что построили несколько вилл, на остальное денег не хватило. Пришлось добивать палетами , пустыми бочками и подручными средствами . Про питание - для уровня кафе на севере Гоа - сойдет, единственное вкусное из всего - яйца пашот. Остальное просто не съедобно . Дизайн столовой - шек Севера Гоа. Отвратительны коктейли. Зелени в отеле нет, рифа тоже. Центр отеля занят большой по площади трансформаторной станцией . И вишенка - сотрудники отеля отдыхают вместе с гостями. В целом ,наверное ,это не плохая идея, но когда сотрудники преимущественно из Индии и Бангладеш. Резюме : когда отель скорректирует стоимость проживания , согласно концепции , а сейчас это хороший креативный хостел , у отеля будет полная загрузка . Но когда хостел претендует ценой на премиум или люкс - смешно. Если ваш агент рекомендует этот отель- поищите другого агента .

The experience at the resort is awesome and the staff is very friendly and social with the guests (Maftuna did a great work with us, Omar and his team at the restaurant, Nado (the service manager)) . The water villa is supper and the service is perfect. The restaurant is fantastic. For the massage center, it is much much below the expectation and the level of the service is below the average, and the value of the money is very negative, however, Nado ( the service manager) has absorbed the feedback very positively and promised us to fixe that as the message center is among the best within Male Atoll.

Это не отель 5 звезд. Максимум – 4 звезды. |Из хорошего - Персонал старается, официанты, бармены молодцы. Новые виллы. Отличный пляж и вход в океан у Haruge Beach Villa с 205 по 223 номера. Всегда спокойное море со стороны Haruge Beach Villa. Если Вы любите плавать, у вас дети 2-10 лет – очень хорошее море. Для детей будет интересно – есть попугаи ара, 4 кролика, 2 козленка, декоративные куры. Качество приготовленной еды – хорошо. Батлер – отдельное спасибо Maftuna. На этом о хорошем – все.|О плохом и странном. Странный дизайн вилл – бетонный пол в вилле – при работающем кондиционере – очень некомфортно, необходимо постоянно ходить в тапочках. Отсутствие террасы – ее нет - вы не можете выйти из виллы и посидеть в тени. Лежаки на пляже – хуже я не видел нигде. Душ – ТОЛЬКО под открытым небом. Душа и ванной внутри номера НЕТ, ванной - нет. Очень неудобно. Отсутствует фиксация двери в туалете. Освещение – ужас – особенно в ванной, вечером умываться приходилось на ощупь. Чтобы выйти на пляж из виллы – необходимо пройти по узкому коридору из растений – только по одному и вы точно поцарапаетесь об растения. Детский клуб – ужас - собачья будка 5 кв.м.. Наша дочь сразу убежала, сказала – «мама, мне здесь не нравиться, пойдем отсюда». |Питание – по разнообразию на уровне плохого отеля три звезды. Пицца, паста, бургеры, японская лапша. При этом паста и пицца – очень неидеальны. Рыбы нет - и это на Мальдивах. Алкоголь – в систему «все включено» - только очень дешевое вино, игристое (такое в Италии стоит 2 ЕВРО бутылка), 2 вида пива. Минибар – спрайт, кола, кола zero, швепс, два вида чипсов.|Уборка номеров – на 3. Приносят 2 полотенца на 3-х проживающих, могли не убрать детскую кроватку. Вопросы решаются по обращению к батлеру, но я приехал отдыхать, а не с батлером переписываться. Хотя еще раз - спасибо Maftuna. |Домашний риф мертвый. Вы любите плавать с маской и ластами – вам точно не сюда. На острове идет стройка- строят водные виллы и Bodu Haruge Beach Villa. Водные виллы – две запустили 16.10. Остальные еще строятся. Bodu Haruge Beach Villa – категорически нет. Очень плохой пляж и море со стороны Bodu Haruge Beach Villa – идет укрепление берега, море всегда будет неспокойное. |Резюме – если Вы пара, вы ранее не были на Мальдивах в обычном отеле 5 звезд, вы едете на 3-5 ночей – нормально. Всем остальным рекомендую поискать другие варианты.|P.S. Я не понимаю, кто пишет восторженные отзывы?|

From the minute I reached the deck at Oaga and was greeted by the high spirited team, I knew this wasn’t going to be like any of the other visits I have had to the Maldives. I was surprised by how close a boat trip it was from Male, making the travel smooth, simple and at ease. Being one of the only resorts that is Maldivian owned and operated, each aspect of the stay felt intentional in its design and offering, to give multiple aspects of an indigenous and authentic experience as possible, starting with the intro tour from our lovely guide explaining the core values of Oaga and the stories of the Maldives - a truly perfect entry and grounding. As an artist myself, I really resonated with the ways art was embedded into the experience - from the traditional architecture of the villas, the murals in the rooms, to the culinary arts, live performances throughout the resort and live performances and concerts every night. The resident parrots were a joy to interact with daily, the beach not even a stones throw away, the morning wellness shots with affirmations attached to them, the outdoor shower in our room catching sun and hot water on my skin. Memories etched at every corner, but one of my favourite aspect of the resort was the dive center. The team was so friendly and knowledgeable. We went on some epic dives and I even got my PADI underwater photography certification - a true testament to this not only being an art resort but moreover an art institute of learning!! The traditional massage and spa experience was phenomenal as was breakfast in our plunge pool in our front yard - taking breakfast in bed to a whole other level. For my morning routine, the outdoor gym facility and archery was perfect and for my evening yoga, a deck that gave a perfect view of the sunset was surreal as my setting. I know I will be back to Oaga over and over again. This place felt like a magical home with extended family - like cousins I didn’t know I had all this time. And you know family always takes good care when it comes to food - the chefs took great care of my vegan diet! I am already planning my next trip to Oaga as I type this.

We had a wonderful stay at this newly opened resort, in a beach villa surrounded by lush tropical vistas with spectacular ocean views and an easy access to the beach. The villa has a unique design and colorful painting making the resort distinguished from others. The free speed boat transfer is included and this is a plus to the payed money value. The resort is all inclusive for foods and some none motorized water activities, as well as a nice sunset cruise. Overall, the food is outstanding with good varieties for each meal. Breakfast is also excellent, yet more fresh juices could be added to enhance the overall flavor. The staff are very friendly and attentive, with high attention to satisfy guests needs. Special thanks goes to all staff and particularly to Miss Harnie our butler for her distinguished attention.

В целом отдых в этом отеле нам с семьёй с ребёнком 7 лет очень понравился. Утром у нас был снорклинг, сразу скажу, что нужно уточнить у местных, где хорошие места, потому что не со всех сторон есть кораллы. В самую жару ребёнок плескался в бассейне при номере, его было оттуда не вытащить. Прекрасная еда, а также набор входящих в ол инклюзив развлечений, которых нам вполне хватило на 8 дней. Но на все эти плюсы после поездки выяснился 1 огромный минус, у нас из сейфа украли 2000$. Так же добавлю, что уборка в номере была очень формальная. Не смотря на то, что уборщик приходил 2, а то и 3 раза в день, на чистоту это особо не влияло. Так же добавлю, что на острове есть несколько номеров, которые находятся рядом с какой-то шумной хреновиной (то ли электростанция, то ли какая-то очистительная машина), и жить там не сладко. Но конкретно наш номер находился в самом конце острова, у нас там была тишина.

It was my 3th stay in Maldives and always in 5* resorts , so it was a bit shocked at first . Very minimalistic and simple , not fancy and blink blink as other 5* resorts , but after we saw a real Maldivian concept behind it - we really like it and enjoyed it . Place is super quiet , a lot of privacy at beach and villas . Villas are very big and nice decorated , bed quality is good and 3th bed for kids or 3th adult is an regular single bed size - what is not the case in most other resorts . We loved the pool outside and we spent most of time at beach and snorkeling to see rich marine life at house riff . Their greatest All Inclusive is really a top notch ! Restaurant with semi buffet and al-a carte restaurant with big portions of different fresh prepared food ( steaks , seafood , international , pasta , Maldivian ….. ) was my highlight every day . The minus point only are chairs in restaurant . Chairs are super hard and need cushions urgently . All included beverage list is also very wide and a lot of free drinks you can choose from . Also personal butler is very nice - our butler Ny was super nice and ready for us at every step . Other resorts also strictly follow check-in times and check-out times / here at Oaga was this not a case ! As we arrived at 6am - we was in resort at 9 am already , villa was already ready for us , and we can start enjoying our vacation . Checkout again at 17:30 - and we can use room and restaurant and bars until we left ! Oaga we will be back for sure. People and atmosphere and quiet place make this reaort so special and different to others . Thx again Oaga !

From the time we were recieved from the airport till the time we departed we felt like we had visited one of our family back in maldives! Who knew such a close warmth bond could be formed in a place which iant home but now feels like one! We were 4girls who visited oaga art resort for a 5day 4night stay! And opted for their all inclusive offer! All inclusive including the love and affection we recieved! :-) which can never be measured! I dont know how have they managed to pick evry member working there to be the best at what they do with true passion and love for their art, i was in awe with how evryone worked togethere with so much happiness all around, be it the cocktail designer, the divers, the artists! You can see the love and passion flow through the way they teach us and talk about how they want to showcase maldives. Its like your living as. A part of their culture evryday! Not at all corporate and a money making scam! They deliver more than what u can ever expect from a trip to the maldives! Each and every person working here is here because its not a job to them! Its something that truely makes them happy seeing the guests happy and they truely represent maldivian culture! We had the privilidge of having some1who would take care of evryhting we wished to do during our stay! NY was our cordinator whose now a friend! So polite, extrmely beutiful both inside out! We refer to her as the Pocahontas of the resort! She was so much fun to have around! She would even make the buggy rides fun by always carrying her speaker and play music for us and we sang along as we reached from 1place to the other so much so that we had people from the resort join us and sing along haha! She took care of evryhting! We changed so many of our scehdules but she did evryhting with a smile and so much patience hahaha! It was my sisters bday, and she arranged so many surprises for us! A sunset cruise with dolphin sighting and cake cutting, decorated the room so sweetly, persoanlly made a crown with handpicked flowers for her! And also setup a dinner for us! She is the best host to ever have! Evry night after dinner we always had a special night event! We had karaoke! Which we took over with our bollywood music and the entire resort was a part of it! We all had so much fun! A memorable night! Next night we had an amazing maldivian band play at the resort called project groove! They were excellent! And then they even hosted a special dj night for us too! Thanks to NY and zack! Where we really jammed again with evryhting working there! They all jam and dance sooo well! Overall evryhting was more than 100% that i doubt any resort could ever offer and their true love for what they do made it even more special! If you ever wana truely be pampered and enjoy maldives this is the resort to go to! The only way we can show our appreciation is by explaining how we felt during our stay! And man o man! Im a fan of evryone workin there! And felt so so so so loved and pampered by all! We miss evryone there already! And will def get back to them soon!

Let me start by saying that this is one of the best resort experiences I've had! YOU NEED TO GO HERE! they have everything you need to make you forget about your regular life and make you want to live the island life. Overall Staff and hospitality - 10/10 The staff is super friendly and so so accommodating to your needs. They are also very involved in making sure you have a good time and they sure know how to have a good time too! This place has the best staff I've ever experienced. Also worth mentioning they all love what they do and are so passionate about their roles! Food and Beverage experience - 10/10 The food was delicious, and they are very accommodating if you have special requests. The butter chicken and the Maldivian fish curry were to die for! Ambiance and decor - 10/10 I loved the way this resort is designed, giving you a true insight into island life but elevated and luxurious. The vibes are amazing! I would also rate 10/10 for cleanliness. Activities - 10/10 Truly an all inclusive package as they have soo many things to do! I got to experience sound healing, yoga, bodu beru(drums), cocktail making, cooking, beer tasting, snorkeling, water sports and so much more!! Scuba diving is not part of the all inclusive deal but it was worth paying that extra buck. The dive team is incredible and so patient! They also have an entertainment department called the "vibe department" purely to organize events for guests and they do an amazing job! Overall, I would highly recommend this place for a fun vacation with your family or friends! Everyone was incredibly friendly and patient with us, which is so rare to find in one of those conventional 5 star resorts. This place is so different from your regular big name resorts and I wish them so much luck for the future!! Special thanks to Ali, Samad, Ny, Bob, Lieken, Reef, Dason, Sanjay, Zack and everyone else for being so kind! ❤️

I booked my all inclusive 4 day stay at a water villa to celebrate our honeymoon in Oaga. That stay was amazing. The villa is extremely clean and beautiful with a personal swimming pool, and a water slide that extends to the sea. There was plenty of food, drinks ( both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and excursions included in the package. We were assigned a sort of a “personal assistant” for the stay, named “ Siyam be” . He was very nice and helpful. We just had to make a quick phone call to let him know whatever we needed. He was very attentive to all our requests. Apart from what package offered, he arranged a special photo shoot ( special thanks to Siyam be’s two friends who helped us) , romantic dinner at the beach, cute bed decoration and a small surprise cake in our bedroom. There was a time we figured that our phone chargers were not working, Siyam be lent his personal phone charger to us for the entire stay. In summary , both me and my husband are very happy with the stay and all the services. Thank you Siyam be for all your help and assistance during our stay.

Oaga promises you all the greatest all inclusive, but in fact you have all the worst nothing inclusive. But lets start from positive moments: - nice decor and design. We stayed at Water Villa, #508 and it is nicely furnished, have spacious outdoor place and many light scenarios. - resort is new, so furnish, equipment etc are fresh. - island is quite big. - spa is good. But extremely overpriced (150$ + taxes per hour) This is everything positive I can say. Oaga is very far from 5*. It is most likely extremely overpriced 3* resort. - bathrobes are thin waffle pieces of fabrics - in room mini bar contains tea/coffee, 1 bottle of wine per day (cheap one, $6 per bottle), 2 beers, 2 cokes, 2 sodas and 2 small Pringles packs. This is what they call "greatest". - room cleaning is below exceptable. Nobody cares much to clean when you are out. Every second day cleaning were in process, when we are back to villa after breakfast or lunch. Cleaning itself is not detailed: we had a paper in a corner during all our 10 nights stay. Also because of bathroom outside location, towels are wet all the time. Villa pool was dirty half of our stay. - food is a disaster. On breakfast you will finish your coffee, salad and morning chat before they bring you omelette. Most likely you get not the omelette you ordered, but random one. Take it - or leave it. First 2 days we had no seafood. Only a choice between cheap fried chicken and tasteless tuna steak. NY eve dinner was the one you expect to be an everyday dinner at 5* Greatest all inclusive. After a scandal, they add some shrimps to dinner menu. But it is still very poor. Do not even try sushi - you will be very surprised with how bad rice can be😅. All fresh juices - at additional cost. You do not have any even during breakfast. All free wine you can choose from is smth no name and can hardly be named wine. Sparkling wine is Brazilian (!) smth😒. If you want a bottle of FREE wine on a table of 4 - you have to pay😅. Their greatest conception gives you an option to order wine by glasses. - life music is every day. Every meal time. Songs do not differ much. Singers are far away from easy listening. On day three you want just background music. On day six you want silence. Resort seems to be a place for every Maldivian who wants to sing or play guitar or paint or anything. And you have to listen to it and to watch it. - animation during NY days was very obsessive. Lady with glass ball simply made us watch her perfomance though we showed her clearly that we want to eat, not watch. - they have no reception/customer desk, but give you a personal butler. We had Maftuna and we cant say we are happy with her service. You have to plan everything instead of her, and insist she does all bookings. You also have to double check if she did bookings or not. Paying $1500 per night you expect to enjoy nice service, tasty food and wide range of drinks. We choose Maldives as a quite place for relaxation. Oaga is not this place and have a few chances to become such. Very dissapointing start of the year.

Были в данном отеле с мужем с 01 по 06 января 2024 в вилле на воде. Нам очень понравилось, на вилле есть все и даже больше. Бассейн большой, можно именно поплавать, а не просто посидеть, горка классная, кровать удобная. Кондиционер отлично охлаждает зону отдыха. Единственное, ванная и туалет находятся немного на открытом пространстве, немного не ощущается приватность и соответственно там нет кондиционера. Вход в воду комфортный, однако сильно много живности именно под виллой не увидели, для этого наверное лучше брать экскурсию (снорклинг, предоставляется отелем в рамках all inclusive). В плане питания разнообразия хватало, было очень вкусно! Прям классно кормят на завтрак и ужин, в обед выбор немного скромнее. Ранее тут писали про отсутствие кондиционируемого помещения при приеме пищи. На самом деле оно есть, но более интересно сидеть в основном зале, хотя там и нет кондиционера. Спа дорогой, но нам очень понравилось, купили продукцию Hoba spa, маску уже попробовала, порадовал лифтинг эффект и запах, все из натуральных ингредиентов) Персонал отеля очень дружелюбный. За нашей виллой был закреплен Ath Har. Всегда был на связи и готов прийти на помощь) Спасибо Ath Har! Единственное, что хотелось бы рекомендовать команде отеля, немного пораньше делать трансфер в день выселения, так как аэропорт Мале не справляется с объемом пассажиров. У нас рейс был в 11 утра, в 8 утра был организован трансфер, в аэропорту мы были в 9 утра. И встали в огромную очередь на вход в аэропорт. Это заставило нас изрядно понервничать, так как зашли в аэропорт мы за 15 минут до окончания регистрации.

This resort gives lots of empty promises and fail to deliver.. - While on email, promised early check in etc due to our very short holiday. In spite of us arriving one night earlier to get to the resort early, we ended up arriving in the resort in the afternoon at 1 pm because they made us wait all morning for other guests to arrive to share the ferry to get over to the resort. - Was told there was tennis court with rackets etc provided. Actually there is no tennis court. Just a miserable half size badminton court by the beach. Rackets and shuttlecocks are tattled and torn - totally not usable. - Though we paid for all inclusive package. Activities are frequently just cancelled at their whim and fancy. No sunset cruise. No Fishing cruise. Weather is not good? - Not true!! Weather was really good those evenings - Not enough guests for the activities is probably the real reason. No Beer tasting - no stock, beer did not arrive. No gin tasting - canapes are not ready. Really? Just one small tart and 1 stick of a piece of cheese with a grape. They seems to be on cost cutting measures. Even when there is finally gin tasting - it was cut to 2 gin tasting instead of 3. - Went for breakfast at 7am - Sorry, breakfast will only start at 7.30 am - Showed them the published time of breakfast - oh, we are slightly late this morning. Of the 3 days we were there - one morning we were told - no coffee today - coffee machine broke down. Another morning - no waffles today - waffle machine broke down. - Went for one hour snorkelling. Ended up waiting for another couple who suddenly turned up and decide to join. Waited for them for 30 mins to go to their room to change and then they struggled to learn to get ready with their snorkelling equipment. Finally, the instructor told them to wait at the beach for him. He took us out to the reef for a quick 10 minute snorkel and we had to head back as he needed to take on the other couple - Ridiculous!! Anyway, their house reef is NOT ready. - The villa is not well designed. Once it rained, the pool turns totally murky with mud. Loads of ants all over the villa. Towels are totally soaked in puddles on the chairs by the pool. The sunken bath is stuck with fallen leaves etc. Nett, we wasted our precious holiday at the Oaga Resort.

Our family day trip to Oaga Art Resort was simply beautiful! From the easy booking process to the warm welcome by Naadhu with a spectacular arrival dance by Raai and the team! The day was packed with activities - swimming in the pool, interactive time with animals, fun play area for kids surrounded by beautiful Arts! The food was amazing, and a big thank you to our host Makhtuma for guiding us through the day. In a nutshell, Oaga Art Resort provided us with a perfect family day. Highly recommended! Thank you for the fantastic memories.Thank you, Shaly, for arranging our visit. Your efforts made our day truly special!

Amazing Resort with Superb Staff. F&B was fabulous.Rooms were innovative and felt different from any standard 5 star properties in a good way. Water sports and housekeeping personnel were good. Keep the good work going guys. The team arranged for a honeymoon night for us when the reservation personnel Ali, came to know we never had such a trip due to the covid restrictions right after my marriage. Only suggestion is that please keep the intercom facility as the buddies assigned to each family are overloaded and in case of emergencies and time stringent activities, it causes trouble especially when you are travelling with an infant. WhatsApp mode is fine, but not the best to have if the buddy is loaded as such miscommunication made us miss our only cruise which had planned to have in 5 days and also in case of an emergency, we could not received ice and water on time. I am sure you guys will work on it as I understand it is a new property. I will not deduct your rating as you guys went above and beyond to help me with all you could where possible. Hence, thanks for it. Cheers.

The hotel is new, product itself is very nice, we had an overwater villa which was really nice. The service requires a lot of improvement. Honestly, this is not a 5 star or a luxury hotel with the level of service they provide. Starting with the reservation experience, they sent us the confirmation wrong 3 times and with a lower room category than the one we requested at the same nightly rate. So watch out and read well your confirmation otherwise you might end up paying more for lower category. At the arrival we had to wait for 2 hours for the transportation, despite that there was no other passenger expected the boat had to ho refuel as per the host, this is a joke as those things must be planned in advance or probably a bad lie to cover thr shortfall in service. Upon arrival they don't inform you that you have to book for next day activity so in the next morning they told us that it is already dully booked and we had to book a night in advance!! The boat fishing trip is catastrophic, it is supposed to be at sunset but it departed when it became dark, lack to time management, the boat itself is very low quality and instead of enjoying the sea breeze you will smell the gazoil from the engine. Not worth it. The Art activity is just a session to draw a fish, this is made for kids and they wasted our time, the resort portion itself as maldivian cultural hub but this activity had nothing to do with. Floating breakfast experience was not worth it as well, food was delayed by 45 minutes and when it arrived it was cold. The sunset Yoga session was amazing and the trainer is very professional and knowledgeable. We mentioned we are on honeymoon and it was written on our booking confirmation but seems the staff had no clue about, when we arrived at the room there was not flowers or bed setup done, we were asked to fill a form and mark if we are celebrating any occasion, when we mentioned that the host was really surprised!! Food served is just average, there is only one restaurant and serving same food everyday Burger, Pizza, Noodle and one Indian or maldivian dish, starters and desserts station is mediocre and not on a 5 star level, and they fill it with jars of pickles to look bigger. If you are spending many nights there then expect to get bored from the same restaurant and same food 3 times a day. Room cleaning does not happen before 3 or 4 pm. Staff is friendly, smiley and cheerful. The 3 star goes go for the nice, beautiful, serene resort but not for the service which is ranked 1/5 and requires serious attention and improvement. For the price paid which is not cheap compared to other resorts of same category is not worth it.

Avoid. The service is not at all worth the money. It is called the Greatest All Inclusive but the staff treat you as if they are serving you free of cost, hence the hospitality is affected there. The Malami does not inform the schedule of activities a day prior for you to book and you have keep checking for the same. Later to realize that the activity cannot take any more reservations. Food Quality is good for service quality of the restaurants very poor. Does not give a luxury feel at all. The entire staff is unpresentable for the kind of image a luxury resort would have. the service feels like it is some roadside experience.

If you have dietary restrictions or are vegan refrain from booking this resort. They don’t have expertise for that and you will have to starve. They will make you feel bad if you missed any of the booked experiences like we missed Learn a dish and as a revenge next day they kept us waiting for the class for 1 hr while we were so hungry. They have butler system so there is no help desk to go if you don’t like your butler. We had to be very proactive to get ourselves booked since our butler Muftana was not supportive. Also they changed our booking from water villa to beach villa so we got less time in water villa for which they charge so much

Some things are fantastic–the ‘differentness’, the vibe being created will only get better as occupancy grows. The experiences are wonderful and make the stay very special. The cooking class, cocktail class, gin tasting, sunset fishing, sunset cruise, morning yoga we all fantastic! The Malimis (Navigators) are fantastic helping organise your day, plan activities etc. Shazu was exceptional with nothing being too much! All the frontline staff are amazing but the dive centre and bar staff really stand out. We have visited many resorts–in the Maldives, Indian ocean islands and elsewhere but the dive centre team here stand out. They are the most helpful and really go out of their way to ensure everyone has a good experience.20/10 to them! The bar staff are also a fantastic face–Janake, Dasan, Susma were all so friendly and Janake’s cocktail and gin tasting classes were great. The in room check in/check out make for a super smooth experience. The bed decoration for our anniversary was the best I have seen. There are some areas which could improve–and I am sure will as the resort grows. Rules seem rigid and staff have no flexibility. You can only have one main for lunch and dinner. My first lunch I chose 2 separate ½ meals and mid-way was told we could have only one. The Haruge pool is quite small so if you want an in-villa pool experience this may not be the right villa for you. The water villas have a lovely pool. It would be great if there could be a health session every morning as we only managed one. Oaga has the potential to be a fantastic resort and really stand out in its differentness and with one of the best group of frontliners I have come across but management may need to let them be more flexible and accommodating. I was a ‘disgruntled’ customer – having had a special holiday (daughter’s 21st) cancelled last minute this August and nothing extra was done to ‘recover me’. The experience was wonderful thanks to the staff, the activities and the weather but nothing extra.

A very beautiful small island resort of luxury, peace and wellbeing, with an accent on Maldivian art and culture. Made very special by the unending kindness and helpfulness of all the staff, who always went out of their way to look after us. This prevailed from liaison with our Reservation Executive beforehand to the moment of our departure. There is a wonderful community ethos that encourages mixing between staff and guests and this really works, it was the most important feature of our holiday. Superb in every respect including accommodation, food, beverages and evening entertainment. Good value inclusive package with speedboat transfers and an extensive range of activities, such as sunset cruise and fishing, art and music lessons, cocktail and gin lessons, yoga etc. We very much enjoyed the watersports, easily accessed and again run by unfailingly kind, patient and helpful staff.

Unlike ordinary resorts, it is a differentiated resort with a concept, and they have the mysterious ability to enjoy vibes and spread the pleasant vibes to guests. There is an opportunity for me and chicken to walk together and make friends with cute goats, cats, and parrots, and children is especially love them. However, it didn't smell like an animal, but it felt thoroughly hygienic, so everywhere was clean. Even if our children were particularly unusual and bothered everyone, they welcomed and played with any staff without frowning at all, taught us something, and had a good time. I wanted to say a special thank you to each and every employee, but I was so sorry that I couldn't say hello due to timed. Wouldn't this be the first and last hotel to feel this way? And I really want to thank my butler, Ms. Maftuna, from the bottom of my heart. The facilities were very, very good as they were up to date. The same was true of food.

Это не отель 5 звезд. Максимум – 4 звезды. Из хорошего - Персонал старается, официанты, бармены молодцы. Новые виллы. Отличный пляж и вход в океан у Haruge Beach Villa с 205 по 223 номера. Всегда спокойное море со стороны Haruge Beach Villa. Если Вы любите плавать, у вас дети 2-10 лет – очень хорошее море. Для детей будет интересно – есть попугаи ара, 4 кролика, 2 козленка, декоративные куры. Качество приготовленной еды – хорошо. Батлер – отдельное спасибо Maftuna. На этом о хорошем – все. О плохом и странном. Странный дизайн вилл – бетонный пол в вилле – при работающем кондиционере – очень некомфортно, необходимо постоянно ходить в тапочках. Отсутствие террасы – ее нет - вы не можете выйти из виллы и посидеть в тени. Лежаки на пляже – хуже я не видел нигде. Душ – ТОЛЬКО под открытым небом. Душа и ванной внутри номера НЕТ, ванной - нет. Очень неудобно. Отсутствует фиксация двери в туалете. Освещение – ужас – особенно в ванной, вечером умываться приходилось на ощупь. Чтобы выйти на пляж из виллы – необходимо пройти по узкому коридору из растений – только по одному и вы точно поцарапаетесь об растения. Детский клуб – ужас - собачья будка 5 кв.м.. Наша дочь сразу убежала, сказала – «мама, мне здесь не нравиться, пойдем отсюда». Питание – по разнообразию на уровне плохого отеля три звезды. Пицца, паста, бургеры, японская лапша. При этом паста и пицца – очень неидеальны. Рыбы нет - и это на Мальдивах. Алкоголь – в систему «все включено» - только очень дешевое вино, игристое (такое в Италии стоит 2 ЕВРО бутылка), 2 вида пива. Минибар – спрайт, кола, кола zero, швепс, два вида чипсов. Уборка номеров – на 3. Приносят 2 полотенца на 3-х проживающих, могли не убрать детскую кроватку. Вопросы решаются по обращению к батлеру, но я приехал отдыхать, а не с батлером переписываться. Хотя еще раз - спасибо Maftuna. Домашний риф мертвый. Вы любите плавать с маской и ластами – вам точно не сюда. На острове идет стройка- строят водные виллы и Bodu Haruge Beach Villa. Водные виллы – две запустили 16.10. Остальные еще строятся. Bodu Haruge Beach Villa – категорически нет. Очень плохой пляж и море со стороны Bodu Haruge Beach Villa – идет укрепление берега, море всегда будет неспокойное. Резюме – если Вы пара, вы ранее не были на Мальдивах в обычном отеле 5 звезд, вы едете на 3-5 ночей – нормально. Всем остальным рекомендую поискать другие варианты. P.S. Я не понимаю, кто пишет восторженные отзывы?

The experience started with the airport pick. Our guest representative Ms. Hasna welcomed us with warmth. Provided us with resort reference and the bag tag started our expectations. The sea ride and the arrival was refreshing with a perfect boat and a crew both in the boat and at arrival who shared warmth and the local dance. Having our personal captain Mr Shyam was such a pleasure. He took care of our needs ensured our scheduled reflected our likes and activities. He was proactive and took care of us. The staff at the bar and at the restaurant were interactive and conversations were lively. The evening entertainment was nice. One point of feedback is to share the evening plan and activities at various locations of the resort. The morning activity session at the Raa Bar and by the sea was calming and energising. Our experience with the Dive center team was excellent. Our dive master Kausan was amazing, his passion was diving and the marine life was infectious. We wanted to continue our dive and snorkelling as much as we could The residents - Rio Pepper and Percy were our companion along with the team. The water activities can keep you busy. The art work and the artist allows us to experience Maldivian history and culture. The art work in the room was amazing and support to local art is appreciated. The personnel at the resort were warm and greeted us with a smile everytime we met. Recommend the stay for sure.

We stayed for 5 nights in June 2023. After just one day, we decided that we would like to come back to this resort. We tried different resorts in the Maldives on the trip, but this was by far the best one. You simply have one amazingly positive suprise after the other. The room was so well thought through (we had the beach villa) - the food was amazing - the staff was so forthcoming, welcoming and easy going - and the activities were unforgettable. From the moment we arrived til the moment we left (we literally cried on the departing speed boat) - it was simply amazing. From our personal receptionist Ny, to the amazing bartenders and servers - and last but not least - the amazing "Vibe Department" (yes that is a real - and amazing thing) - we just felt so welcomed and we actually became very fond of the people that surrounded us on the resort. Except for the great people and lovely atmosphere - the activities were also great (and way better than what we expected). Our favorites were probably the cocktail class, cooking class or the beer tasting (and YES - you could cancel any activities - there is no pressure :D ). They really have an amazing all-inclusive package. We also decided to book an extra excursion they offered (for a fee) - and went swimming with the nurse sharks. This was one of the coolest things I've ever done. They have simply made an amazing - must-see resort that I would recommend to everyone I know - and ever will meet. Thank you so much, Oaga!!!

You’ll never feel unhappy at Oaga it’s literally impossible. That place was designed to keep you smiling from the moment you step on land to when you leave (you get sad after you leave cause you wouldn’t want to). Everything is so pleasing to the eye. The service is always at 100%. Not a single person who went on the trip complained about the resort and we have gone to a couple now so that’s never happened. So yeah, kudos to Oaga team.

I’ve been to loads of Maldivian resorts but Oaga is different. It’s the way they’ve taken their culture and heritage and woven it into the art across the island in a uniquely contemporary way. If you can imagine Maldivian tradition being showcased as pop art and graffiti - that’s the vibe at Oaga. Speaking of vibe - they have lots of “vibe managers” and a “vibe director”. These are real designations at Oaga. Most of them are talented musicians, artists or both. They’re friendly, proud of their local culture and cuisine and also equally clued into global culture, music, sports and the arts. The food was served in an interesting concept. The all inclusive package is what I’d recommend and the food is presented at a series of “shack-kiosks” from where you can order various starters mains and deserts. Asian, Italian, Maldivian and Indian food was always on hand (along with a pretty cool grill selection) and the chefs were always willing to tweak dishes according to your preference. The water sports and scuba diving is amazing! They have a great team led by Riya and Bob who are often seen feeding nuts to the pet parakeets. When they’re not in the water, that is. The sunset bar has a little pool that connects via channels to pools in individual rooms in that part of the resort. So you can swim out from your pool, through the waterways to the bar. The gin explorer sessions at the bar were super cool - and yummy! Our daughter has lots of fun at their kids club. It’s small but the staff were super kind and engaging. They helped her make things from coconut leaves, shells and they even painted coconuts. Saving the best for last. Our room was a villa, meters away from the water. I personally prefer beach villas (not over water) as I like to walk from the room, onto sand and then into the sea. Villas were constructed in the shape of traditional Maldivian boat houses and had a fully stocked bar, outdoor shower, loungers, bean bags, an outdoor plunge pool - and the gorgeous Maldivian sunset to stare at every evening. All in all - thru didn’t your typical luxury Maldivian resort experience. But I’d definitely check it out for its uniquely Maldivian flavour and concept.

Me and my wife with 2 toddlers spent 10 days at this magical resort. It was 10 of the most precious days of our lives.   We are among others platinum members of Anantara, Outrigger, gold members of Accor after countless stays around the world, and we still rank Oaga Art Resort as something unique (on the top of all are visits around the world)   If you are looking for something unique, if you are looking to relax and get into magical experience, then I highly recommend Oaga Art Resort. Ex here you can expect everyone to talk to you (assuming you want to), the staff can have a beer with you or ex maybe someone in the staff brings the kids to the resort to play with other kids.   This may sound foreign and strange to someone reading this (and used to staying at Sofitel, Anantara, Intercontinental) but somehow they make it work where everything becomes natural. It is an all-inclusive resort, where they describe their program as the greatest in the Maldives. The experience I have from other all-inclusive resorts cannot even be compared to this resort. It includes deep-sea fishing, jet-skiing, beer tasting, cooking with a chef, drinks with a bartender, etc. to name a few of the activities. In addition to this, a fantastic breakfast, lunch and dinner are included.   We stayed in their room Haruge Beach Villa with Private Pool. Can't describe the rooms than stylish, spacious with everything you could need.   Would again like to thank all the staff for our amazing experience!
