Veyoge Gallery Pool Villa
“As Khalid swam through the moonlit stream, he could hear the waters whisper hope in his ear. In a dimly lit hut Sitti awaited him, where the shadows of their clandestine affair cast onto the walls… A sanctuary where it mattered not what fate awaited them in the outside world.”
Inspired by the Maldivian folklore of star-crossed lovers ‘Khalid and Sitti’, this garden villa in the Maldives is designed to make you feel stimulated and safe, enhanced by the invisible mirrored exterior that recalls the secrecy of the lovers’ affair. Some say that they jumped into a lake and became mystical creatures, never to be separated from each other again. With this magical tale, we invite you to live your romantic Maldivian resort dream here at Oaga Art Resort.
