Dana Malek
Overall, acceptable experience for the price. key aspects fell short, making our stay less enjoyable than expected.
The quality and variety of food could definitely be improved. The desserts were consistently underwhelming, lacking both appeal and taste. Ice cream options weren’t inviting, and most drinks were heavily syrup-based. For an all-inclusive resort, it felt odd that fresh juices and bottled water were chargeable, which was inconvenient.
Cleanliness & Room Experience: below average.
As we were traveling with a baby, cleanliness was a top priority. While the room itself was aesthetically pleasing, it didn’t feel clean. Unfortunately, we had an ongoing issue with ants in the bed, on towels, and in various spots in the room. Despite flagging it, the issue remained unresolved throughout our stay. This was especially concerning as we needed a sanitary space for baby bottles, utensils, and pumps. We were eventually offered a room change, but it came on the evening of our last night—too late to be a practical solution given the logistics of packing and moving with a baby.
Definitely unacceptable!
Overall:
The resort does offer a variety of activities, which is a plus, but the food and drink experience was below average for a 5-star hotel. Having visited the Maldives four times before, we can confidently say that this was not the level of service and experience typically associated with a 5-star resort in the Maldives.
While the stay was decent for its price range, there are areas that need improvement for it to match the luxury and service standards expected in the Maldives.
Wouldn’t come back unfortunately regardless of the positives.

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!

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.

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.

Memorable Anniversary Getaway with Amazing Villas and Dining, Minor Tweaks Needed:
I recently spent 4 nights at the OAGA Art Resort in the Maldives, celebrating our friends' 25th wedding anniversary with two other couples. We split our stay between the Haruge Beach Villa for the first two nights and the Odi Water Villa for the next two. The property is beautiful, and the Water Villas were definitely the highlight of our stay—absolutely breathtaking.
The food was another standout. The restaurant staff were very receptive to our suggestions and curated meals accordingly. They even organized a special dinner by the sea featuring delicious kebabs, which was a memorable touch.
However, we found the property management a bit rigid regarding the timings for breakfast, watersports, and other activities, which could have been more flexible. Additionally, the golf carts, which help navigate the resort, were sometimes hard to locate and left us waiting in the sun, making it uncomfortable. Also, for those expecting a large swimming pool, be aware that the pool here is on the smaller side, considering it’s a full-fledged resort.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend the Water Villas and food experience here for a relaxing vacation.
