Oaga Art Resort Podcast: Exploring Creative Boundaries in Art

Nestled in the tranquil North Malé Atoll, Oaga Art Resort isn’t just a place of luxury—it’s a destination where art comes alive. Oaga Art Resort proudly presents Beykaaru Vaahaka, a podcast that invites listeners to rethink the boundaries of creativity, created under their Suvāsthi brand. This podcast boldly explores artistic expression, where creativity refuses to stay confined by tradition and instead challenges norms. It offers a fresh perspective on the world of art and creativity.

Beykaaru Vaahaka dives deep into the essence of artistic expression, addressing moments when artists suppress or leave ideas unspoken. The “Beykaaru” whisper, which hinders creative flow, resonates with many artists. Therefore, Oaga Art Resort takes a stand, turning those whispers into empowering conversations about what it truly means to create. Furthermore, Oaga provides an authentic platform for artistic voices to speak up.

Suvāsthi Presents: A Fresh Start

The first season of Beykaaru Vaahaka features Nuff, Oaga’s exceptionally talented Lead Artist, as the host. This debut season kicks off with five episodes, each offering 45 minutes of rich auditory and visual storytelling. The episodes capture the heart of Maldivian art, told through the voices of those living it. In addition, these stories offer listeners an inside look into the creative minds of local artists.

The opening episode, Heart & Colour, sets the tone, offering listeners an intimate session with Afu and Mary. These two visionary artists, founders of @aharunge_studio, share their creative journey, shedding light on their work and the collaborations that shape Oaga’s artistic vibe. Through their stories, listeners gain a deeper understanding of what it takes to cultivate creativity in the Maldives.

The Beykaaru Vaahaka Experience

At the heart of this podcast, personal conversations with both resident and visiting artists reveal the challenges they face and the artistic milestones they’ve achieved. Moreover, Oaga Art Resort serves as a creative sanctuary, providing a platform for these stories to unfold. The podcast also brings the resort’s artistic environment to life through immersive video content, featuring murals that speak volumes and artist studios where dreams come to life.

One of the resort’s key initiatives, Fannuverin Fathuruverinnah, connects travelers with local artists, reinforcing Oaga’s commitment to blending global perspectives with Maldivian traditions. By doing so, it celebrates local talent and fosters a creative community that enriches the resort’s artistic journey.

The first episode of Beykaaru Vaahaka is available for streaming now. With the full season containing five episodes, new episodes release every other Tuesday. Furthermore, the second season, which promises to dive even deeper into the world of artistic storytelling, is already in development.

Beykaaru Vaahaka stands as an ode to the brave dreamers who push the boundaries of art and expression. It celebrates creativity’s power to transform perceptions and transcend limitations.

Oaga Art Resort: A Creative Sanctuary

At the heart of Oaga’s creative community is the Suvāsthi Gallery and Art Studio, embodying the essence of “Suvāsthi”—the ancient Maldivian concept of happiness. Here, art and joy unite, fostering an environment where creativity thrives. Local and global artists collaborate and inspire, making Oaga Art Resort a true beacon for artistic expression, offering a platform for creators to flourish and providing an immersive experience that celebrates the beauty of both art and nature.

This summer, the InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort offers the perfect opportunity to disconnect from daily life and reconnect with yourself. In celebration of International Yoga Day on June 21st, the resort hosts an immersive five-day yoga retreat from June 20th to 24th, guided by the highly experienced and respected yoga instructor Emilia Métaireau. With its serene surroundings, the retreat provides a peaceful sanctuary for wellness seekers to refresh their mind, body, and spirit while embracing the transformative power of yoga, meditation, and mindful movement.

A Mid-Summer Reset in Paradise

Held at an ideal time for a mid-summer reset, this retreat invites participants to rediscover their inner balance in one of the world’s most breathtaking destinations. Surrounded by the Maldives’ crystal-clear waters, vibrant reefs, and unspoiled beauty, guests step away from their routines and focus on restoring their energy and clarity. Moreover, Emilia, whose teachings span over a decade and more than 2,500 hours of global experience, brings a grounded and expansive presence to the experience. She blends breathwork, ancient wisdom, and conscious movement, guiding each guest toward a deeper connection with themselves.

A Thoughtful and Immersive Daily Practice

The retreat begins each day with rejuvenating sunrise yoga, allowing guests to wake up and center themselves before embracing the day ahead. In the evenings, the focus shifts to calming rituals designed to soothe the body and still the mind. To enhance this immersive experience further, guided meditations and energy healing practices integrate seamlessly into the program, creating a journey of self-discovery and spiritual connection. Each session is thoughtfully crafted to help participants not only practice yoga but also experience the deeper emotional and mental benefits that come with it.

Exploring the Five Koshas: A Journey Inward

A key focus of the retreat is the ancient yogic philosophy of the five koshas—five interconnected layers of being that shape our experiences of life, health, and spirituality. These layers include the physical body (Annamaya Kosha), the energy body (Pranamaya Kosha), the mental body (Manomaya Kosha), the intellectual body (Vijnanamaya Kosha), and the bliss body (Anandamaya Kosha). Throughout the retreat, guests explore these layers through mindful movement, meditation, and yoga, with each practice designed to bring them closer to a state of peace, clarity, and self-awareness.

Luxurious Spa Treatments to Complement Your Journey

Adding to the holistic experience, guests indulge in treatments at the resort’s luxurious AVI Spa, a sanctuary perched over the water and designed to promote deep relaxation and wellness. Named after the local word for “sunshine,” AVI Spa offers a variety of signature treatments and therapies that nurture the body and soul, perfectly complementing the retreat’s focus on mindfulness and rejuvenation.

An Idyllic Setting for Renewal and Rejuvenation

Furthermore, the stunning location of the resort enhances the retreat experience. Situated at the southern tip of Raa Atoll, bordering a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve and a juvenile manta ray aggregation site, the InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort offers a peaceful and inspiring backdrop for reflection and rejuvenation. As the first and only all-Club InterContinental resort, it provides exclusive benefits to guests, including indulgent amenities and luxurious accommodations. The resort features overwater villas, an adults-only area, an exquisite spa, and a variety of dining options, ensuring that each guest enjoys a complete experience of luxury and wellness.
