Fine
Worth understanding the history here. This is a reclaimed island and its reef was still being built a few years ago, with guests then reporting little to see. The recent reports have turned: coral repopulating and growing strongly, two marked snorkelling areas, easy entry close to shore, baby sharks at the shoreline, and sharks and turtles reported this summer. So it is improving rather than established, and we would not sell it as more than that yet. One side of the island drops off steeply and quickly, which some find unnerving. The dive centre runs manta and nurse shark trips.

Transfers run around the clock, so any arrival time connects and you never need a night in Malé on the way in.
Forty-five minutes by the resort's own speedboat, which is in every price on this page and runs at any hour. Boats are timed around the international arrivals, so on a busy afternoon you can wait up to three hours at the airport before you leave. Send us your flight times and the resort sets the transfer before you land.

About the resort
Oaga Art Resort is a Maldivian-run island in North Malé Atoll, 45 minutes from Velana by speedboat, and it is built around the country's own art, music and stories. Every price on this page is on the all-inclusive plan.
It is a lively island rather than a sleepy one, with live music, bonfires, DJ nights and karaoke most evenings. Six kinds of villa are priced here, from a garden villa with its own pool to the Odi Water Villa, which has a slide from the deck into the lagoon.
What you pay
Every price is for two people for three, four or seven nights, with the all-inclusive plan, the return speedboat and every Maldivian tax inside. The two-bedroom suite is priced for two as well, so tell us who else is coming and we will add them.
The boat is free from four nights, so the fourth night adds less than any of the first three. The green season is the cheapest time of year for every villa.
What's included, and what isn't
In the price: the villa, meals and drinks on the all-inclusive plan, the return speedboat with a meet and greet at the airport, and every Maldivian tax.
Not in the price: meals served in your villa, the richer all-inclusive upgrade, diving and excursions, your international flights, travel insurance, Indian TCS, and anything not named above.
Who this isn't for
Anyone looking for silence. Oaga Art Resort is sociable, colourful and busy after dark. It suits couples and families who like a bit of life around them, not those after a hideaway.
The house reef is improving rather than established. Guests now see reef sharks and turtles close to shore, but the coral is young, and one side of the island drops away steeply.
Before you book
Book sixty days ahead and the resort takes 35 per cent off the villa, or 45 per cent at six months ahead. That depends on the day you book, not the day you travel, so it is not shown in the prices above. We will apply it to your quote.
Two children under twelve stay free in any villa except the Veyoge Gallery Pool Villa, outside the festive period. Honeymooners staying four nights or more get a candlelit dinner, sparkling wine and a decorated turndown, within a year of the wedding.
The water villas are confirmed on request, so we check them for your dates before you book flights. The festive period is not priced on this page; it needs five nights and includes two compulsory gala dinners. Check-in is at 14:00 and check-out at noon.
Tell us your dates and who is travelling on WhatsApp or through our enquiry form, and we will come back within 24 hours with the villa that fits.
