Dhadimagu Lake

We absolutely loved our stay at Kagi Maldives for our honeymoon. The island is beautiful, secluded, and quiet. We stayed in an Ocean Villa on the water, the room size was great with easy access to the ocean and coral reefs. The coral reefs on the island were fantastic and so easy to get to from the room, we saw turtles, sharks, manta rays, and plenty of fish. We selected the all-inclusive package, which I'd recommend not to worry about costs each day. The buffet for dinner wasn't open when we were there, so we ate at Ke-un and Nonna each night. We loved Ke-un, and the prawns were massive and spicy, our favourite dish. We also enjoyed Nonna but preferred Ke-un for the asian food. There is a good selection at both restaurants. All the food we had good, the buffet breakast had lots of chocie and the dumplins and pastries were delicious and our favourite part. The drinks choices are extensive, most cocktails we really enjoyed, and the wine selection was great. The bar staff were great and attentive, never waited long for a drink. We arranged a chefs table dinner. Nahil, who was superb throughout, managed to arrange for this a secluded beach, which was a very special. The food was delicious and the setup beautiful. Overall, the island is beautiful with an amazing coral reef, the staff are attentive and friendly, the food and drinks are excellent with a wide selection, and it was very romantic and secluded, perfect place for our honeymoon.

Customer service was great, everyone was super friendly and were always making sure we were not missing anything. What probably took this away the opportunity for becoming a 10/10, is the cockroaches at the room….for multiple days we found small cockroaches all over the room (the bathroom…the shower, even our bed). Even some friends we made at the hotel, later told us that they had the same situation (these were overwater villas). We let the front desk know and they said they were going to put poison in the room, but these just kept showing up…

Just returned from a fabulous trip to Oaga Art Resort. We've been to a few 5-star resorts in the Maldives. This place is very special. We loved the incredible staff and sense of community they bring to your stay. From the moment you arrive, you feel welcomed and a part of island life. What I thought would be hokey - a Maldivian welcome dance on arrival, etc. turned out to be a very authentic experience. I would turn right around and go back tomorrow! Our "butler" or “Malemi” (Navigator), Schif was wonderful. She guided our stay in the most thoughtful and unobtrusive way. Her good humor was infectious, and she had an uncanny ability to turn up right when we needed her. The Maldives are beautiful. Who doesn't love a vacation on a beach - no shoes needed. The warm colored Maldivian blue water was pure joy. Our Haruge Beach Villa (with a private plunge pool) was just steps from the sea. We were able to snorkel and PADI dive. The nature and sea life did not disappoint. The sunset cruise was also a highlight. We were treated to Maldivian song and dances and soon the whole boat was dancing and singing along with our spectacular hosts. The Hoba Spa was also a treat. They had such a nice welcome ritual. We had couples deep tissue massages in a beautiful setting. Pasang, a Buddhist yoga teacher from Bhutan provided my treatment. She did a brilliant job for the full 90 minutes. She also ran the almost daily Hendhunu Ritual at the Hoba Deck which was a wonderful.
