Hoba Spa
Hoba Spa offers a community healing experience, incorporating ancient Maldivian medicinal traditions, known as Dhivehi Beys to promote body, mind, and soul transformation and balance.
Inspired by the local natural beauty, Hoba Spa blends Maldivian traditional practices with modern elements to restore balance, enhance natural beauty, and revitalize the vital essence within.
Hoba Aroma
“Queen Kamba Aisa poured the best rose water on Princess Sitti Mava Ranikilegefaanu’s forehead and fanned her using a lansimoo fan.” With fragrant scents inspired from the healing and therapeutic elixirs of Maldives, this curated aromatic collection is a way to re-feel the sense of unconditional love, warmth and joy inherent to these islands.
An exclusive product range, crafted using the purest therapeutic ingredients, produces powerful and sensual journeys for both body and face. Hints of rose, vetiver, sandalwood and frankincense cocoon your body and mind.
Beys Foshi’ Therapies
Tapping into Maldivian traditions, these ancient healing remedies were developed over the centuries and passed on by word of mouth from generation to generation.
In the Beys Foshi therapies, local spices and herbs meet modern therapeutic wellness traditions of the Maldives. Discover the range of therapies and local experiences – traditional body scrubs and massage oils, sand poultices, coconut tools, healing sea water bath rituals, smudging, charmed waters and much more.
San’dhu Moon Therapies
Upholding Maldivian practices and rituals of the past centuries that used the moon’s energy to craft medicinal massage oils and elixirs, our San’dhu Moon Therapies connect with the moon phases and their energies, offering powerful rituals to boost your vital energy and balance the body and the mind, and the overall spiritual wellbeing.
The combination of Maldivian aromatherapy, moon energy, positive intentions and medicinal herbs allows you to deeply tune in with the surroundings, and to understand and acknowledge that we are part of Nature, and not separate from it.
Embark on a mystical journey to a new understanding of yourself and the inner might that comes from awakening to this powerful connection.

Sustainability
Oaga Art Resort Maldives
Oaga Art Resort Maldives have taken initiative to act and be a part of the change needed on Earth right now. Here are just a few of the things they have taken on around the island.
Giving back to Local Cottage Industries
The welcome snacks and condiments we provide on arrival are handmade and locally sourced from individual sellers in nearby islands.
Our galleries serve as a platform to spotlight talented local creatives to tourists visiting the Maldives, offering guests a chance to interact with and own an authentic piece of artwork by local artists and establishing a new platform to explore for the local art community.
The base oil used for ‘Huva’ at Hoba Spa, is made by a small team of Maldivian women from the island of Thinadhoo. They make the coconut oil by cooking in low heat with firewood or ”Dharu Un’dhun”, as have been age old custom.
U-Cycled Liveable Spaces
A lot of the liveable spaces and furniture you see, have been constructed using up-cycled materials, such as the barrel counters placed inside the rooms and Raa Baa.
Venues such as the Suvāsthi Studio and Kraken Water-sports Centre are made from refurbished containers.
Self-Sufficient Water
Almost half a million plastic bottles are discarded across Maldives every year. We have built our own bottling plant to reduce dependency on single use plastics.
Drifted Waste Collection Manta
Discarded or drifting in the ocean, plastic debris can accumulate on the water’s surface or sink to cause permanent damage to the surrounding ecosystem.
We have designed a Manta near the arrival jetty as an interceptor of such plastic, taking inspiration from the filter feeding process these magnificent ocean beings use, sometimes causing them to ingest such debris.
Please help us collect any such drifting plastic you come across into this plastic Manta-ceptor, in order to preserve our ocean life.
Coral Nursery & Restoration
In 2018, a coral nursery was initiated in partnership with Coral Alive by creating 60 metal reef structures, powered by Mineral Accretion Technology (MAT). This supports the corals through low voltage direct current electrolysis that supports the 7000+ coral fragments in the nursery. Today, a total of 300 structures have been placed and populated, with a target to restore the entire house reef completely by 2028.
Food Cycle: From Kitchen to Ollie’s Farm
Once Ollie’s farm is fully operational, the food scraps from the restaurant kitchens will be used to feed the farm animals, completing the cycle and bringing food wastage to a minimum.
The main restaurant offers al la carte’ options for lunch and dinner, minimising wastage.
Limiting Energy Consumption
We advise our guests to switch off lights and appliances when stepping out of the villa, to help us reduce fossil (or dirty) fuel emissions.
We change the linen every three days to conserve water and save energy, but it will be done earlier upon request where required.
We change the towels every three days to minimize the use of laundry chemicals and detergents that hurt Earth. However if the towel is on the floor, it will be replaced.
The comfort-connecting-luxury brand crafted for guests at Oaga Art Resort has core values of collectively and individually embracing a love of nature, humanism, creativity and community togetherness. With these efforts, we hope to support the awesome community of artists and craftspeople creating value and contributing to the Maldives’ island story. Come on in, for certified good vibes and some really cool connective experiences.
