Overview
 
On secluded Bodufushi in the Raa Atoll, a unique wellness retreat has redefined luxury, introducing a groundbreaking hotel concept never before seen in the Maldives.
 

In a destination where every luxury brand seems to have a presence, JOALI has managed to create a retreat that truly stands apart, not just in the Maldives, but on a global scale. This is an achievement worth celebrating. The experience begins with an arrival at a jetty inspired by a whirling dervish, ushering you into a space that embodies wellness in every possible way, whether under the bright sun or a canopy of stars.
 

At JOALI, you won't find ordinary spa treatments or intense bootcamp detoxes. Instead, the focus is on Signature Immersion Programmes and specially designed spaces that cater to specific lifestyle improvements. The eco-conscious architecture is crafted to enhance positive energy, and the clean cuisine leaves you satisfied without any compromise—there's even hangover-free wine for those who wish to indulge.
 

The motto at JOALI BEING is the “joy of weightlessness,” and while this island promotes deep relaxation, it’s dedicated to uplifting and energising its guests in ways that haven’t been seen before in this region. This isn’t just a place to lounge in the sun; it’s a sanctuary for those looking to strengthen their connections with others, the environment, and themselves.
 

In line with its biophilic design principles, no trees were removed, allowing the island's natural habitat to contribute to the healing process. Additionally, the resort actively supports initiatives that improve the lives of local women. Ultimately, the goal of this wellness pioneer is to impart knowledge and practices that guests can carry with them, enriching their lives long after they’ve returned home.

What I Love

  • 68 villas all with private pools.

  • Each villa includes a personal butler, known as a jadugar—meaning "magician" in the local language—and they certainly live up to the name: attentive, efficient, and highly engaged.

  • The four restaurants centre around an "earth to table" philosophy, featuring pescatarian, vegetarian, and vegan dishes.

  • This Robinson Crusoe-like paradise offers far more than typical palm tree escapism, boasting a 39-room wellness complex that rivals the best in Europe or Asia.

  • Few things are more satisfying than a poolside lunch or candlelit beach dinner, where three delicious courses total under 600 calories while benefiting your brain, beauty, and microbiome.
