We had planned our honeymoon and first wedding anniversary to the Maldives and set our eyes on Kagi after a rough research. During the one year intense research, we opened our options to more resorts but eventually felt Kagi offered exactly what we wanted. Reasons we chose Kagi: 1) No kids club 2) Small island size of 50 villas 3) No parties 4) Each villa has private pool 5) Far enough from Male 6) Option of both speedboat and seaplane to experience both 7) Presence of house reef 8) More couples-oriented after research 9) Generally quiet 10) consistent good reviews gave us confidence Upon arrival, we were picked up from the airport and whisked to the seaplane terminal immediately. The waiting time was 1h15min which was reasonable. We were sent to the lounge for snacks and drinks while waiting. Watching the seaplanes from the balcony made me excited for my first ever seaplane ride. Soon it was time and we were sent to the boarding area for an epic start of our trip to paradise. As expected, the seaplane was not the most comfortable mode of transport. We were aware that's why we chose Kagi just to experience the short flight. The flight time took 15mins, excluding taxiing. Awed by the view of many different islands and still felt surreal to be in the Maldives. We then completed the last part of the journey by a short speedboat ride. We opted for speedboat for the return journey and preferred it for the ventilation. We were welcomed by the staff at the arrival jetty. Our island host, Yaseen, took us around the island before bringing us to our beach villa. Yaseen was a busy, confident and knowledgeable guy. He often checked on us to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. We split the stay between beach and ocean villa and preferred the beach villa for its quietness. However it also felt amazing to step right into the indian ocean from your ocean villa deck, with the sea teeming with abundant marine life on the house reef. We read that the ocean villas could be noisy but we only got the loud noise of crashing waves on our very last night. Aircon was hit or miss during the day however it was cooling throughout the night. We went on The Big 5 Safari and to be honest, found the price too expensive. Suggest to try the house reef first before deciding whether to join the trip. We snorkelled on the house reef later on and found this more than sufficient and enjoyable. However be aware that some parts (near kagi heart and the spa) were way too shallow to swim through and we got cuts from the rocks. Advise to study the snorkel map and stay in deeper blue waters. We saw so many types of fish, a turtle and octopus near our ocean villa! We enjoyed the complimentary photoshoot and bought the Bronze package later on. The photographer (Hilman) captured our memories on this beautiful island. The blissful sensation sunset cruise was short but we were happy to see dolphins! The staff were mostly friendly.
