A Multigenerational Maldives Wellbeing Island

With the island’s wild forest remaining untouched, JOALI BEING has been built using Biophilic design principles, a scientific system of integrating architecture and design with nature, aiming to achieve harmony by and enhance the energy flow of the island. Nature is at the centre of life here, with the retreat being completely committed to nature immersive and responsible travel – the pathway to true “weightlessness”.

Here, wellbeing is so much more than just an expression – it is a way of life, of being. We believe in savouring the joy of here and now. In setting our intention and nurturing with empathy. In co-creating moments of wonder and transcendence. We invite guests to reconnect with themselves as we meet them where they are and guide them on a journey of self-discovery and renewal, with the ultimate aim for guests to return home feeling renewed, uplifted and inspired, with a new sense of “weightlessness”.
