Oaga Art Resort

2 Restaurants & 2 Bars

Oaga's dining leans on theatre and authenticity rather than sheer volume. The open-air Kaa Kada food market is the daily hub with five live stations and Midnight Munchies from 11pm–6am. Samaasaa delivers the Maldives' first theatrical dining experience — folk-tale performances paired with five-course menus. Two bars complete the scene: a poolside social hub and a beachfront beer garden.

Kaa Kada

Multi-cuisine

The main dining hub built as an open-air food market with five live stations: Asian, seafood, mixed grill, pasta, and Maldivian. Themed nights rotate daily. Late-night Midnight Munchies runs 11pm–6am for jet-lag arrivals.

Dining Inclusions

Oaga operates all-inclusive only — there is no BB, HB, or FB option. The 'Greatest All-Inclusive' covers all meals, unlimited drinks, daily minibar, floating breakfast, two excursions per person, non-motorised water sports, wellness classes, art and music classes, cocktail mixing and cooking classes, daily laundry, and midnight snacks. Samaasaa theatrical dining includes a USD 50 credit.

Your Days on the Island

Oaga blends water sports with art and cultural immersion. The 300+ hand-painted murals make the island itself an experience, and the programme includes art classes, music workshops, a recording studio, Maldivian cooking, and cocktail mixing — all included in the AI.

Family-Friendly Features

Oaga's all-inclusive-only model means families never worry about extras — meals, drinks, excursions, and activities are all covered. The Fiyoh Kids Club welcomes all ages with STEM activities, treasure hunts, and a petting zoo. The Odi Water Villas feature a waterslide launching into the lagoon, and the nightly art and music workshops give kids creative outlets beyond the typical resort programme.

House Reef & Underwater

The house reef is accessible from shore along the southern and eastern sides of the island. Guest reports vary — some describe it as excellent with reef sharks and dolphins, while others found it limited on certain sessions. The dedicated PADI 5-Star dive centre offers boat excursions to better nearby reefs. Guided house reef snorkel trips are included in the AI.

PADI dive center on-site. Night snorkeling available. Marine life observations sourced from dive logs and guest reports.

Transfer from Malé

Forty-five minutes by speedboat from Velana International Airport — complimentary for all guests, available 24/7. One of very few Maldives resorts offering free transfers.

Who This Resort is For

Oaga Art Resort is genuinely different in the Maldives: a locally owned art island where the all-inclusive covers nearly everything and the cultural programming — from theatrical dining to Dhivehi Beys spa treatments — is authentically Maldivian. The complimentary transfer and midnight snack service add practical value. The trade-offs are a smaller overwater offering and a variable house reef, but for guests who want personality over polish, it's one of the most distinctive choices in the atolls.
