A new thing for the Maldives, Kagi, the five-star, 50-villa boutique resort in the North Malé Atoll, has just launched the first pickleball court in the Maldives, adding a new dimension of sports and recreation to this luxury boutique island.

Following an exciting game of pickleball, guests can unwind at the Baani Spa, the Maldives’ largest over-water spa. Designed by the award-winning New York-based Japanese architect Yuji Yamazaki, this 1500 m2 haven features a beautiful open-air teardrop-shaped roof and a yoga pavilion on stilts above the ocean, promoting healthy and joyful living.

Surrounded by one of the Maldives’ most diverse and untouched house reefs, Kagi offers more than just sports and relaxation.
