Five-star Kagi Maldives Spa Island is set to launch in the Maldives’ North Male Atoll in September. The boutique, 50-villa property will provide couples, friends and solo travellers with a 360 degree wellness experience, just a 15-minute seaplane or 60-minute speedboat ride from Velana International Airport.

Kagi has partnered with esteemed architect Yuji Yamazaki on the design of the resort. At the heart of the island will sit Kagi’s 1500-square-meter spa and wellness hub, complete with an open-air, teardrop-shaped floating yoga pavilion at its centre.

It will also house a state-of-the-art gym, two restaurants, three bars, a dive centre and a house reef. Guests can choose from three room types, a beach pool villa, a lagoon pool villa or an ocean pool villa, all of which will be distinguished by their unique locations and will house a private pool, a sun deck and an expansive indoor-outdoor bathroom.
