Oaga Art Resort in the Maldives is set to reopen on 1 August 2026, following a brief closure for an island-wide creative overhaul. Located in North Malé Atoll, just 45 minutes by speedboat from Velana International Airport, the resort is renowned for integrating local culture and art into its guest experience. This reopening marks the first phase of a comprehensive refresh, featuring enhanced guest spaces, updated villas, and new dining concepts.
The resort's Haruge and Bodu Haruge villas have been redesigned to offer improved comfort and functionality, with expanded lounge seating and dedicated vanity areas. The main restaurant, Kaa Kada, has undergone significant transformation, now boasting larger indoor and outdoor dining areas, an elevated buffet experience, and a new bar. The culinary offerings have expanded to include a variety of international cuisines, alongside traditional Maldivian dishes.
Raa Baa, the resort's social hub, has also been expanded, featuring a larger performance stage and additional seating. The main pool has been refreshed with vibrant colours, enhancing the poolside experience. A new Italian restaurant, La’ Fuh Dan, joins the dining collection, offering a menu that blends Italian classics with Maldivian ingredients.
Later this year, Oaga plans to introduce new overwater villas and a new villa category on the island's sunrise side. As the resort reopens, guests can expect the same vibrant creativity and hospitality that Oaga is known for, with more enhancements and reveals planned in the coming weeks
