Kagi Maldives Resort & Spa

We booked a week here through Simply Maldives. This was a truly memorable experience from the location, service, food and drinks. We had an ocean villa facing the sunrise. We did a lot of snorkelling around the beautiful reef and saw many different types of fish. From arrival to departure, the service level of the staff was outstanding. We treated ourselves to a massage and wine tasting which were both superb. Overall an unforgettable experience and one we hope to experience again one day. Thank you to everyone.

We had an unforgettable honeymoon experience at Kagi resort ! Everything was perfect—from the breathtaking views to the relaxing atmosphere. A special thanks to Cindy for her outstanding service and warm hospitality throughout our stay. She truly made our honeymoon extra special with her kind support and attention to detail. Highly recommended for couples looking for a peaceful and romantic getaway!

Choosing a resort from the many in the Maldives is so difficult - but Kagi Maldives Resort and Spa ticked all the right boxes for us during our 8 night couples visit in mid-March. The non-negotiable requirement was a good, easily accessible house reef for snorkeling. Big tick! It could be accessed both from the beach and the steps from our ocean villa and there was a good range of sealife, including turtles, sharks and many different types of reef fish. We also thoroughly enjoyed our dives with the dive centre pros who were so professional and fun to spend time with. They took us through a number of skill checks at the start of the requisite initial dive on the house reef. After that, we enjoyed a number of dives on the very spacious dive boat. Drinks and plentiful snacks were available between dives. The degree of professionalism shown by the pros would make Kagi a great place to learn to dive or upskill. Indeed, the dive pros encouraged us to study for a new qualification (enriched air course) during our stay, so we can now dive with Nitrox. We wanted a peaceful resort and Kagi did not disappoint. Although you can arrive by seaplane, they land at a small pontoon about 5 minutes away by boat so there is no disturbance from the planes themselves. The island is very small and you can walk around it in less than 10 minutes. There are only 50 rooms and while we were told it was quite full when we arrived, it never really felt it. And 8 days later, it had emptied out considerably. The price difference between the beach villas and overwater villas is noticeably less here than at other resorts which let us achieve one of our nice-to-haves - the quintessential Maldivian overwater villa. The room was well presented and equipped with functioning air conditioning, plenty of storage space and surfaces, a comfortable sofa and a well-stocked minibar which was replenished daily. Both the indoor and outdoor bathrooms were very spacious. But my favourite spot was probably the deck, with its private sunbeds, plunge pool and steps down to the ocean as well as lovely sunset views - just perfect for a sundowner beer from the mini-bar. I also wanted a resort with good quality food, ideally with options apart from just a buffet and, again, Kagi delivered. Just to be clear though, the buffet here was very good quality and, and despite the small size, offered a number of different cooking stations so that items could be cooked to order at all mealtimes. The buffet offerings varied each day for lunch and dinner and there were some noticeably lighter offerings at lunchtime. An alternative at lunchtime is the poolside bar menu or the spa corner (though we didn't try the latter). We were also able to use the 2 à la carte restaurants for dinner a couple of times each (they can each be booked once for every 3 night stay). The Italian was fine although on our second visit, the service could have been quicker. The Pacific Rim restaurant was fantastic - the dishes were beautifully presented and tasted delicious, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals there. We booked the all inclusive (AI) package and the drinks list was quite extensive, including a good range of cocktails and named wines. Our AI package also included a sunset cruise and one afternoon high-tea. The à la carte restaurants and activities could all be easily booked via an app. We really enjoyed our time at Kagi. The staff were friendly, the service was largely excellent and everything just worked as it should do. This was our first visit to the Maldives and I have no doubt there will be more to come. But now I'm torn between going elsewhere and returning to Kagi as it just suited us so well. Maybe we'll just have to do a split stay!
