The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands is supporting the local community by donating books to Dhonbandarain pre-school of Huraa, a neighbouring local island in commemoration of the International Volunteer Day 2020 for Social and Economic Development, an international observance mandated by the United Nations since 1985.

Valuing this year’s theme ‘Together We Can Through Volunteering’, the Ladies and Gentlemen of the soon-to-open Ritz-Carlton Maldives contribute to this great cause by touching the hearts of the young generation through education. As the first initiative under the brand’s Community Footprints project, a global outreach project designed to make a change in child well-being, hunger and poverty relief, the resort takes this opportunity to connect with the nearby local island, Huraa, aiming to make a meaningful difference.

At The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, we strongly believe in lifting local communities by engaging, contributing and inspiring. We are delighted to take the first step to initiate the Community Footprints project in the Maldives with this meaningful gesture, by inspiring the next generation of future leaders

Mark Hehir, the General Manager of The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands said.

Ritz-Carlton Maldives commits to initiating more projects in the upcoming months to tackle the issues important to the local community. After all, the brand has built a legacy of extraordinary service, on a tradition that goes beyond serving loyal guests but extended to inspire and impact the communities.

Celebrate Easter with Adventure and Creativity at Oaga Art Resort

Oaga Art Resort

Easter in the Maldives takes on a bold new flavor this April, as Oaga Art Resort reimagines the holiday through a lens of art, mystery, and community. From April 15 to 22, 2025, the boutique island resort in North Malé Atoll turns tradition on its head, offering guests an immersive week-long celebration built around creativity, music, and a rather curious island-wide whodunit.

Solve the Mystery of Detective Kuku

At the center of the festivities lies a lighthearted mystery titled “Detective Kuku,” in which guests take on the role of sleuths and unravel the case of the missing Easter eggs. Designed for families and groups alike, the adventure kicks off on April 19 with “The Sundown Brief,” a sunset cocktail gathering where the first clues—and a surprising disappearance—are revealed. From there, the hunt begins in earnest, as guests follow riddles and interact with an eclectic cast of characters, each possibly hiding a piece of the puzzle. The caper concludes in style with “The Debrief,” an Easter pool party where the truth behind the bunny’s vanishing act finally comes to light.

Creative Workshops for All Ages

But there’s far more to this island Easter than playful puzzles. Throughout the week, guests can drop in on daily “Free Flow” sessions at the resort’s Suvasthi Art Studio, where creativity thrives in all its forms. Local artists lead workshops in watercolor painting, while younger guests (and the young at heart) craft bunny ears or design Easter-themed sun-catchers. It’s hands-on, relaxed, and unmistakably Oaga. Moreover, these workshops provide an excellent opportunity for guests to bond and explore their artistic sides.

Dance Your Way Through the Week

For those more inclined to express themselves through movement, the “Roots in Motion – Easter Edition” dance series offers a range of styles—from Tutting and Dancehall to House—tailored to dancers of all levels. Whether you’re just finding your rhythm or already confident on your feet, sessions cater to beginners, intermediates, and advanced participants alike. In addition, the dance sessions provide a fun and energetic way to keep the spirit of the holiday alive.

Evenings Filled with Music and Entertainment

The energy continues into the evening, when the island shifts gears into performance mode. Guests can expect live sets from homegrown acts including Vaguthee Trio, Affan and the King Coconuts, and Sandpaper, alongside solo performers like Naffah and Isse. For example, the “O’Fire Night” and “Breeze & Bass” beach parties promise a lively atmosphere, while the “Starlit Cinema” offers a quieter, more laid-back alternative for those seeking a more relaxed evening. Ultimately, there’s something for everyone when the sun sets.

Families traveling with children find plenty to keep the young ones engaged. The Fiyoh Club rolls out a special Easter-themed program packed with arts and crafts, and kids and teens are welcome to join the 10-day dance program as well, making this a holiday that’s as family-friendly as it is artistically rich. As a result, this event appeals to both young and old, creating lasting memories for everyone involved.

A Unique All-Inclusive Experience

All of this unfolds against the backdrop of Oaga Art Resort’s signature “Greatest All-Inclusive” plan, which extends far beyond meals and drinks. Guests enjoy complimentary access to art and music workshops, floating meals, curated excursions, and even motorized watersports. The resort itself, just 45 minutes by speedboat from Malé International Airport, features 60 intimate villas (beach and overwater), dining experiences that blend creativity with comfort, and a spa deeply rooted in Maldivian healing traditions. In conclusion, Oaga Art Resort offers a fully immersive experience that stretches far beyond the usual resort vacation.

With its combination of interactive storytelling, cultural enrichment, and tropical leisure, Easter Week at Oaga Art Resort isn’t just a holiday—it’s a fully immersive escape. For bookings and more information, visit oagaresorts.com.
