JOALI Maldives

The first - JOALI Maldives is unique in that it is dedicated to giving guests an immersive art experience. Based on Raa Atoll, one of the largest and deepest atolls in the world, guests can expect brilliant blue waters, a myriad of sea life, and pristine white-sand beaches fringed by gently swaying coconut palms. Each of the 73 villas is the epitome of sustainable glamour and was inspired by individual stories and designed to take the guests on a rich sensory journey. Boasting a lavish range of culinary options, every dish at JOALI, tells a story and every plate becomes a journey, a journey of savours, fragrance, and joy – an art immersive experiential dining. Artisanal amenities, curated in-room bookshelves, thoughtful design and deluxe objects d’art creates an atmosphere of unconventional luxury on the island of joy. Central to the JOALI offering is its exceptional array of art - the entire resort has been curated to include liveable and interactive art created in collaboration with world-renowned artists and artisans, including Porky Hefer’s life-sized treetop manta ray, a thatched-roofed platform shaped like a ray where guests can climb in for breakfast - plus a unique programming of art events and excursions throughout the year, including its annual Imagi-Nature Art Festival curated annually by renowned art leaders from around the world. Opened in 2018, the resort is also home to an award-winning spa, a fitness centre and can arrange a bespoke programming of excursions for guests wishing to explore the region by land and sea.
