I had by far the best time in the Maldives at Oaga Resort. The vibe is 100% suitable for the perfect vacation with perfect Maldives beach, lagoons, diving
Fishing, to see sharks and turtles like in an aquarium and have a unique and very relaxed time. The team is modern and just super cool. Like my buddies in Germany. Thanks for everything, especially the great food, vibe, animals and local community feeling!

While the resort boasts unique infrastructure and a beautiful setting compared to others, its service and hospitality were deeply disappointing. The service team was unresponsive, requiring multiple follow-ups even for basic requests. The butler assigned to us was uninformed about the island and failed to respond when contacted.
Despite the island offering unique activities, the poor organization ruined the experience, making it feel like a waste of time. After hearing so much about the renowned hospitality of the Maldives, we chose this resort, only to face one of the worst experiences we've had compared to any other counties/resorts that we visited before.
Even budget-friendly resorts, costing a fraction of this one, offer far superior hospitality. Spending a considerable amount of money here only to receive such subpar service leaves you frustrated and regretful.

Let me start by saying that I am a demanding traveler, and when I go on vacation, I expect five-star service to meet my expectations. This hotel and its staff delivered 100%.
From the very first moment you are greeted on the island, you are wrapped in such care and attention that it feels like visiting your grandmother, who loves you more than anyone else in the world.
The food at the restaurant is delicious, everything is fresh, and many dishes are prepared right in front of you. The menu is diverse — even after two weeks, there was always something new to try. The chefs go out of their way to surprise you, and we appreciated it. Every meal was made with care, and the flavors left us delighted.
The villas are detached, so you won’t have neighbors sharing a wall with you. This means complete silence and privacy. The villas are cozy and well-thought-out, with every detail adding to your comfort. We especially enjoyed the sound system and soft lighting. In the evenings, it was a pleasure to play our favorite music, adjust the lights to suit the mood, and unwind. The cleaning service is impeccable — the villas are spotless, and everything, from the furniture to the smallest details, looks brand new.
Special attention is given to the little things that make your stay even more comfortable. The coffee is, of course, natural, and they bring you enough every day to last a week. On the first day, we mentioned that we drink a lot of water, and every day after that, without any reminders, we had six to eight one-liter bottles of water in our villa. There was always a good supply of tea, though we didn’t use it much. The minibar is stocked with a variety of drinks to suit every taste, and it’s restocked daily. A standout touch was the complimentary Argentine wine provided by the hotel. I don’t drink alcohol at all, but I know enough about it to appreciate that this was an excellent choice. Everything was thought through to the last detail, and I was truly impressed by the level of care.
The island is small but incredibly charming. It’s a pleasure to walk around at any time of day or night. In the evening, the soft lighting transforms the paths into something magical — every corner feels like a fairytale. The atmosphere is so relaxing that even after a busy year, you begin to unwind from the very first day. Walking the island at night, you feel a pleasant drowsiness that helps you fully embrace the tranquility of the place.
And, of course, the staff deserves special recognition. Ahmed and Dinara took such great care of us that we felt completely at home. They were always there to assist us, and even on rainy days, their warm smiles made up for the lack of sunshine. Any questions or requests were resolved quickly, even if it meant bringing something from Malé.
Another advantage of the island is that it’s never crowded. You won’t see large groups of people, and even at the restaurant, guests come at different times, preserving the sense of calm and seclusion.
There are so many little details that make this place even cozier. The bathroom features stylish copper faucets — a small but delightful aesthetic touch. The lanterns that mimic real fire add a warm and welcoming atmosphere in the evenings. And let’s not forget the animals on the island: the well-cared-for cats with their little homes, goats, ducks, and rabbits all contribute to the homey, comforting vibe.
One more unique feature — there’s no asphalt on the island. Instead, you walk on soft, white, flour-like sand, which keeps you connected to nature. Even after the rain, the staff quickly adds more sand where needed to ensure it’s always soft and pleasant to walk on.
Yes, some parts of the island’s coastline are reinforced with stones to protect against erosion from the sea, but you’ll only notice this when you first step off the boat. By the second day, the island’s charm and relaxation will have you forgetting all about it.
If you want to truly relax, feel cared for, and enjoy every detail, this hotel is the perfect choice. I’m left with the warmest memories 💛

I went with my in-laws, my mum and 2 year old toddler and probably the best 3 days at a resort I've had without trying to find activities to entertain my toddler. The children's clubhouse 'Fiyoh club' was filled with great learning toys and art for him. He loved playing with the staff and I was able to leave him there for an hour while I explored the island. The animals were such a joy to see around the island too. Friendly and attentive staff. All the art work and details in every area was great to discover. The murals by local artists made the place so vibrant and fun! Definitely needed a week or more here!

We travelled with 5 adults and 1 child and were on the greatest all inclusive package for 6 days and 5 nights for 2 garden villas with private pools. When we arrived male international airport, the waiting room was full so we had to sit in the humid pizza restaurant for 1.5 hours for the ferry. Oaga resort is a 50 min boat ride from the airport which is pretty far. The garden villa is beautiful and clean but the pool is very small. The shower area is outdoors so when you shower at night it’s quite dark. The drainage system of the shower and sink is very
poor and clogs up each time. The room is very dark at night with lack of lighting. Room was always cleaned very well and they provided free laundry service for 5 pieces of clothing for each room.Some staff were really warm and friendly special shout out to Ali, Ahmad, Sharmin and Diah at the restaurant and Hasna at the arrival in Male airport. The staff hired to us to take care of us was disorganised and not very responsive especially in the mornings when we request for things. Our greatest all inclusive activities was not discussed with us properly upon arrival and there were a few times they the staff tried to charged us for things that were supposed to be included in our package such as sunset fishing and diving. Our timings for the free motorised activities were also not properly told to us. This caused some anxiety and stress among us and we couldn’t fully relax due to the disorganised planning of our activities. Our room was a bit of a walk to the restaurant (~10-15 mins) and buggy service was not provided for us even though we had a 4 yo and a 6 month pregnant woman in our villa. The food in the restaurant was disappointing. We were only allowed to order 1 main dish per person for lunch and dinner. The only buffet is breakfast and there was only 1 day we had buffet for lunch and dinner. We were sick of the food by the 3rd day. The salad bar is always the same and they always serviced the same cuisine (Asian, Sri Lankan/maldivian/indian, pizza, pasta). We wished the food quality was better. There was a lack of cooked vegetables and noodle soup. Also, we were really disappointed that fresh fruit juices were not part of the greatest all inclusive package. All they included were chilled juices and 3 types of smoothies which we also were sick of by the 3rd day. The highlights were the free morning ritual with singing bowl, the aqua aerobics in the pool , cocktail making, sunset fishing, sunset cruise , diving with Bob from the dive centre, paddle boarding and snorkeling with the sharks and fishes. Definitely not coming back to Oaga again the next time we’re in Maldives and would check out other resorts.
