JOALI Debuts Island Homes in Maldives

JOALI launches Island Homes, a rare opportunity to own an exceptional private residence in the multi-award-winning first wellbeing island of its kind in the Maldives. The island is only a 40-minute scenic journey by seaplane from Velana International Airport or a 90-minute leisurely yacht cruise from Maafaru International Airport, the region's closest private jet landing runway. Guests can opt for one to four bedrooms on the beach or over water, designed according to the biophilic architectural principles.
