From healing therapies to marine discoveries and dazzling cuisine, guests can start the year with joy and wonder
Tucked away in northern Maldives, JOALI is located on Muravandhoo Island in the Raa Atoll, which is home to some of the most diverse and stunning marine life in the world.
A luxurious art-immersive island retreat, JOALI Maldives focuses on sustainable glamour and collaborations with world-renowned artists and local artisans.
On this “Island of Joy”, guests can start the year in memorable immersive experiences and find inspiration at every corner.
JOALI BEING Cure
Introducing, JOALI BEING Cure, the newly rebranded Spa offers a taste of JOALI BEING, the only wellbeing island of its kind in the Maldives.
To start 2024 in great shape, guests can relax and renew with expertly crafted treatments and a curated line of products.
Embodying an ultra-elevated spa experience, JOALI BEING Cure is designed around the Four Pillars: Mind, Skin, Microbiome and Energy.
Holistic Wellbeing Approach
This holistic wellbeing approach blends ancient wisdom with modern science.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Spa menu incorporates the unique essence of JOALI BEING — specialised massages, transformative facials and bespoke wellbeing journeys.
Guests at Joali Maldives will also have the chance to discover therapies by Visiting Practitioners, part of an extensive network of wellbeing experts.
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.
His main mantra is “food should be an experience”, and his dishes are well-known for its creative flair and presentation.
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.
