I have visited the Maldives 3 times and this island is just beautiful, the reef and snorkelling is outstanding. The water is so calm and easy to swim, safe and just like being in a fish tank. The whole place is natural no plastics, small, secluded and intimate. Wonderful Japanese architecture all the rooms, spa, restaurants and buildings are so beautifully designed. The food is fantastic such a great mix and variety, fresh and fully international cuisine. Really well thought out activities, the spa treatments are very high end and we went 3 times. The staff as so friendly, helpful and unbelievably kind, caring and just a delight to see everyday. Nothing is too much and they go the extra mile to make sure everything is just perfect. So many highlights the cheese and wine pairing with Denis, the sushi platter in our room, sunset cocktails with the team, stunning breakfast everyday and gorgeous little touches throughout We can’t give this place enough credit, we are planning our next trip and are writing this before we leave to ensure they all know just how amazing they all are here at Kagi. Paradise and heaven I don’t want to leave, 5 star review very well deserved. Book immediately!
An unforgettable week at Kagi Maldives « perfection from A to Z » We spent one incredible week at Kagi Maldives, and everything was simply perfect from beginning to end. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the reception team, and throughout our stay every single staff member went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Housekeeping was impeccable, the waiters and waitresses (Mohamed Wadif, Raakin, Mohamed Ismail, Dorji, Irfan…)were attentive and genuinely kind, and the overall service was outstanding. The food deserves a special mention: it was extremely varied, fresh, and absolutely delicious every day. A big thank you to Chef Mikael and his entire team (Chef Ignacio, Chef Jarov, Chef Carlo, Chef Darwin, Chef Shatura, Chef Neeraj…) for the amazing culinary experience. We would also like to sincerely thank Mr Areef, Mr Shafi (the doctor), Mr Maish for taking such great care of our villa, Miss Juliane (from Berlin, apologies if I misspelled your name), Mr Wiam, and all the staff whose names we may have forgotten but who contributed to making our stay so special. The spa experience was exceptional, my wife and mother absolutely loved it and had a truly relaxing and memorable time. A special thank you as well to Mr Areef and Mr Shafi for sharing a fun and memorable pickleball game with us, a great moment we won’t forget. Kagi Maldives is a true haven of peace, extremely quiet, calm, and perfect for relaxation, where luxury meets genuine hospitality. We leave with beautiful memories and can’t wait to return. Highly recommended without hesitation. Morad & Family 🇩🇿 🇦🇪
I had a wonderful honeymoon at Kagi Maldives. The accommodation and food were amazing—far better than I expected. The reef, in particular, was absolutely unbelievable. It was unlike anything I had ever seen before, and I truly enjoyed snorkeling during my stay. I went snorkeling every single day, yet I never got bored. One downside was that some of the staff at the restaurants and the Ufa Bar were not as friendly or kind as expected. However, all of the chefs at Nufaruu were incredibly kind and welcoming, and their service made me very happy. Overall, I would say Kagi is one of the best destinations I have ever visited, and I would definitely love to come back again if I have the opportunity in the future.
Just got back from the most amazing stay at Kagi Maldives and honestly, it was perfection from start to finish. From the moment I arrived, the staff were so warm, friendly, and welcoming. The location is unreal: incredibly peaceful and serene, surrounded by the most beautiful shades of blue and turquoise everywhere you look. It truly feels like you’re a world away from everything. I stayed in an ocean overwater villa and it was absolutely stunning — sleek, minimal, and beautifully designed, with direct access to the house reef. The architecture and decor throughout the resort are tasteful, clean, and understated, which makes the whole place feel calm and effortlessly luxurious. Diving and snorkelling were hands down a highlight. We saw dolphins, turtles, sting rays, sharks, and thousands of fish. The food was also excellent, with great variety and consistently high quality across all meals. My favourite had to be the Maldivian curry! And the spa…wow. Easily one of the best I’ve ever been to. Incredibly relaxing, rejuvenating, and the perfect way to completely switch off and reset. Overall, Kagi Maldives is a true slice of paradise. Would 100% recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, beautiful getaway. Already dreaming of going back.
