The Oaga Art Resort consciously moves away from classic hotel concepts. The focus here is on lifestyle and a relaxed atmosphere that combines art, Maldivian culture, and modern holiday demands. Consequently, the more than 350 hand-painted murals as well as the largest mural pool installation in the Maldives, which give the resort its unique character, play a major role. The classic reception is replaced by a casual welcome from the personal Maalimee in the Raa Baa—the heart of the island—and the traditional buffet main restaurant is replaced by the Kaa Kada, featuring various food stations from around the world. In addition, the extraordinary fine-dining and performance concept Samaasaa surprises guests by combining culinary experiences with Maldivian folklore scenes. The offering is complemented by the creative main pool and entertainment area Raa Baa, as well as the Sobi Bar, which, in addition to a pool, offers a vintage vinyl library and artfully mixed cocktails. For relaxation, the Hoba Spa honors traditional Maldivian healing methods, while the Suvāsthi Art Studio & Retail Gallery offers a deep insight into local art, featuring works by over 60 artists over the years and a total of more than 200 exhibits. Families also benefit from the Fiyoh Kids Club, a dedicated petting zoo area, and diverse creative and activity programs for all ages. Several pools are available on the island, including the iconic main pool at the Raa Baa, the long, flowing watercourse in the middle of the island, and further pool areas within individual villa categories. At the pool and beach, guests will find complimentary sun loungers, sun umbrellas, and bath towels.
