Angaga is a small island, about 360 by 160 metres, in the middle of South Ari Atoll, 25 to 30 minutes from Malé by seaplane. It keeps a traditional Maldivian feel, with thatched roofs and bamboo furniture, and its strengths are underwater: a house reef reached from the beach and the award-winning SUB AQUA dive centre, with more than 30 dive sites in the atoll. Stays are on half board, full board or all inclusive.
The 50 detached Superior Beach Bungalows (45 m²) have a partly open-air bathroom with a bathtub and a veranda with a swing, and the Superior Water Bungalows (65 m²) stand over the lagoon with a glass-topped table and a back door onto a sun deck with steps into the water. A newer row of Premium Water Bungalows (78 m²), in a lighter, modern style, stands over the water too.
The main restaurant is an open-air buffet on the beach with a different theme each night. The Beach Bar doubles as the coffee shop, with board games and a live band on Saturdays, and the Sundown Bar sits over the water for sunset cocktails. Duny Spa offers Thai, Swedish, aromatic and stone massages and facials.
Good to knowThis profile comes from travel agencies; Angaga's own website doesn't publish rates. It's a simple, traditional resort rather than a luxurious one, only one agency states the star rating, and the price is only maldives.com's 'starting from' range, so treat it as a rough guide.
