Madivaru Holidays from £1,154

The resort and the staff were amazing. The executive chef Chau was a highlight of our trip. She was always so friendly, welcoming and up for a chat! The menu had a great variety and changed daily so you could always try something different. Location was perfect for snorkling, however, bring your own snorkles as they are not included and can add up very quickly over a few days. The suites are definitely worth it as they were amazing!

Customer service was great, everyone was super friendly and were always making sure we were not missing anything. What probably took this away the opportunity for becoming a 10/10, is the cockroaches at the room….for multiple days we found small cockroaches all over the room (the bathroom…the shower, even our bed). Even some friends we made at the hotel, later told us that they had the same situation (these were overwater villas). We let the front desk know and they said they were going to put poison in the room, but these just kept showing up…

It was our 3rd year anniversary and we had the best time ever…first of all on arrival..we got the WARMEST welcome from Mary our hostess…she’s very kind, friendly and pays attention to details… she made us very comfortable However, on the massage sector, my wife had the WORST experience with Margaret…she didn’t pay attention to the areas requested and after complaining my wife left there in pain and sore…she wasn’t as friendly so I wouldn’t recommend her… the waiters on the other hand are really kind and nice.. The rooms aren’t properly cleaned..the hygiene is not the best and you can tell its overtime poor maintenance…stains on the white tiles here and there and green mould around the shower corners… we stayed at the water villa with a pool Other than that, the food is 10/10 … the experience was amazing…enjoyed the sunset fishing, feeding and touching the stingrays and seeing baby sharks from our villa..it was surreal.. If you like to have fun, i’d recommend checking in on a Thursday as they always have DJ night and Rachana makes the BEST sheesha…and don’t forget to ask for Mary for a splendid experience. The place was definitely worth it, we’d definitely recommend

Beautiful island. The staff and service is fantastic.

Just returned from a fabulous trip to Oaga Art Resort. We've been to a few 5-star resorts in the Maldives. This place is very special. We loved the incredible staff and sense of community they bring to your stay. From the moment you arrive, you feel welcomed and a part of island life. What I thought would be hokey - a Maldivian welcome dance on arrival, etc. turned out to be a very authentic experience. I would turn right around and go back tomorrow! Our "butler" or “Malemi” (Navigator), Schif was wonderful. She guided our stay in the most thoughtful and unobtrusive way. Her good humor was infectious, and she had an uncanny ability to turn up right when we needed her. The Maldives are beautiful. Who doesn't love a vacation on a beach - no shoes needed. The warm colored Maldivian blue water was pure joy. Our Haruge Beach Villa (with a private plunge pool) was just steps from the sea. We were able to snorkel and PADI dive. The nature and sea life did not disappoint. The sunset cruise was also a highlight. We were treated to Maldivian song and dances and soon the whole boat was dancing and singing along with our spectacular hosts. The Hoba Spa was also a treat. They had such a nice welcome ritual. We had couples deep tissue massages in a beautiful setting. Pasang, a Buddhist yoga teacher from Bhutan provided my treatment. She did a brilliant job for the full 90 minutes. She also ran the almost daily Hendhunu Ritual at the Hoba Deck which was a wonderful.

The best island we've been to. Beautiful nature, fantastic food, great spa.
