JOALI Reef Restoration Project

Wellness also extends to the ocean, and guests can make 2024 a meaningful year by contributing to the JOALI Reef Restoration Project and adopting a coral table.

The project reflects Joali’s commitment to coral restoration in the Maldives by assisting in the natural recovery of the island’s surrounding reef through “fragments of hope” – tiny corals planted in their own nurseries.

Once the corals reach an appropriate size, they are planted onto the existing house reef to help it regenerate.

Hello, January

To get the new year off to a great start, this January, JOALI Maldives sparkles with the talents of two visiting culinary experts.

Guests can embark on an extraordinary gastronomic journey with Chef Alex Webb, from 10 to 17 January 2024, as he draws inspiration from his travels and the nostalgic flavours of his childhood.

Chef Alex Webb impressed the world with his showstopping dishes on BBC’s ‘MasterChef: The Professionals’, and won the show in 2020.

JOALI BEING - Ocean Sala Dining_Grilled King Prawns

His main mantra is “food should be an experience”, and his dishes are well-known for its creative flair and presentation.

JOALI Maldives - Culinary Arts - Bellinis_Aragosta, Sedano Rapa, Olio All'Aneto, Caviale

Bringing his culinary talent to the Maldivian shores from 20 to 27 February 2024, Chef Hidemasa Yamamoto’s visit promises an exceptional and innovative fusion of flavours.

Hailing from Japan and trained in France and Italy, Chef Yamamoto has garnered multiple culinary accolades during his illustrious career including multiple Michelin-star ratings.

His dishes are well known for their exquisite flavours and meticulous attention to detail.

Chef Yamamoto has worked closely with JOALI Maldives, curating the menu at Saoke, the resort’s acclaimed Japanese-Peruvian Restaurant.

World Pop Art Day

And to conclude the first month of the year, the art-immersive island will celebrate World Pop Art Day on 28th January, inviting guess to ignite their creativity with an island-wide collection of artworks, designed to be experienced through all five senses.
