The Setting
Within the 1190 islands that make up the Maldives, you’ll find a diamond amongst gems in Joali Maldives on Muravandhoo Island. Just a seaplane hop or speed boat cruise takes you to the Raa Atoll, home to the island bustling with coconut trees, pristine white sands and blue waters teeming with vibrant sea life (they even have their own marine biologist on staff). The most attractive feature about this family-friendly recipient of a 2020 Conde’ Nast Readers' Choice Award, is the care they take for its fragile ecosystem. The resort was built around existing island trees and they’ve implemented the Joali Reef Restoration Programme, helping to rehabilitate much of the 85 percent of the Maldives’ coral reef lost during the devastating bleaching event of 2016.
In addition to Joali's heart for conservation, creativity is inspired throughout as the first and only art-immersive hotel in the Maldives. In addition to the Art Studio & Gallery, the entire island is filled with interactive and experiential art pieces. Some of the work is commissioned in collaboration with local artists and artisans to give you an enrichment of local cultures while you support their work and communities. So, grab a cocktail, an art map, and set out to nourish your creative side.
Sleep and Sanctuary
The 73 immaculately appointed Stay Well villas and residences at Joali will leave you breathless and sun soaked. The villas are constructed from sustainable and eco-friendly materials and you’ll choose from the ubiquitous over-water variety or beach villas and family residences. In each, you’ll be pampered with your own infinity pool, butler and valet service, eco-friendly bath amenities, in-room yoga mats, locally made furnishings and curated private libraries. Not to mention, views of turquoise blue waters by day and billions of stars by night.
Eat. Pray. Eat.
When your belly rumbles, we recommend throwing on your flashiest kaftan and sandals and heading towards Joali’s four distincts dining concepts. The uber attractive Mura Bar can act as your hub for exquisite pre-dinner drinks and flatbreads before a starry night stroll to Vandhoo, an open-air space specializing in Mediterranean, South East Asian, and Levant cuisines. If you're in aperitif mode, Bellinis will be your stop, boasting fine Italian dining and “nonni approved” raviolis. Some special outposts that will take your dining at Joali to new heights are Saoke, a breathtaking over-water Japanese restaurant helmed by Two Michelin Star chef, Takagi Kazuo and Her Kitchen, an immersive dining experience where you can cook local recipes with experienced chefs. We didn’t forget about the kiddos (big and little), who will clean every plate for a visit to LaJoie, the artisanal chocolate and ice cream shop. Keeping it intimate or private?
