Fannuverin Fathuruverinnah: Maldivian Art Comes Alive at Oaga Art Resort

Oaga Art Resort, a Maldivian homegrown brand, has long blurred the line between hospitality and creativity. On 1 November, it unveiled the 2025/2026 edition of its Veyoge Gallery Villa Exhibition, offering an immersive journey through the islands’ contemporary art scene.

This year, 15 local artists were each given a Veyoge Villa to transform into a personal gallery. Guests move through spaces that are both residences and curated exhibitions, encountering artworks that respond to the villa’s architecture, light, and atmosphere. The overarching theme, Maldives: a Simple Story, reflects island life in its most authentic forms—its rhythms, its stories, and its natural beauty.
