"There was magic and adventure, of course – but also truth, love and a sense of community. This was a story I wanted to be part of..."
Welcome to JOALI BEING, the first Maldives island resort of its kind, where guests of all ages come together in joy and wellbeing. Located on Bodufushi Island in Raa Atoll, our resort unfolds a transformative journey to the Joy of Weightlessness – a sense of freedom, lightness and wonder that shimmers under the everlasting sky.
Rediscover playtime as a family at B’Kidult, the island’s multigenerational zone. Explore new pathways to weightlessness at our wellbeing spaces, designed for movement, mindfulness and healing. Uniting ancient wisdom with modern science, our offerings are curated around the Four Pillars of JOALI BEING: Mind, Skin, Microbiome and Energy.
Built according to biophilic principles, our 68 luxury accommodations include Maldives beach and overwater bungalows with pools and private butler service. With spectacular private dining, multi-awarded spa programmes and an unrivalled team of experts, JOALI BEING shines as the best resort in the Maldives for multigenerational experiences.
At this joyful sanctuary, the rest of the world feels a million miles away. An invisible weight lifts, leaving you lighter and newly inspired. You feel ready. For wonder, for play, for healing. Ready to connect in new ways with the people you love most. Ready to return to your true self.
The Joy of Weightlessness is more than a feeling – it is a way of being. This signature philosophy invites guests to release the weight of everyday life and embrace a profound sense of lightness, clarity and renewal. JOALI BEING is a paradise of possibility. What will you discover here? And what will you take home?
The moment you arrive at our island, the world feels lighter. Find a serene welcome at the Gate of Zero, a transcendent masterpiece inspired by the flared white skirt of whirling dervishes. Let go of ego as you step through the symbolic threshold – this is where your journey to weightlessness begins.
At JOALI BEING, joy and wellbeing are for everyone. Our curated experiences are thoughtfully designed for guests of all ages, from little explorers to senior sojourners – and everyone in between. B’Kidult, our multigenerational playground, brings the whole family together for playtime, learning and adventure.
Built according to biophilic design principles, our 68 private Maldives beach and water villas feature serene private pools, personalised Wellbeing Bars, and nature-infused amenities for a truly holistic wellbeing experience.
Ideal for couples and small families, our private ocean and beach villas feature exclusive pools, dedicated butler service, and unique musical instruments.
Tailored for multigenerational holidays, our multi-bedroom accommodations include expansive beach and overwater private residences with pools and astonishing views.
Awaken your senses with our Earth-to-Table cuisine. Rooted in the joy of nourishment, the resort’s culinary selections are crafted with a variety of fresh, organic, locally and sustainably sourced ingredients.
Our diverse cuisines promise to please all palates. FLOW serves international options from three kitchens: pescatarian, vegan and vegetarian, and meat and poultry. Share exquisite Japanese flavours at Yutori and vibrant Mediterranean delights at MOJO. At Rakuzen, the private grill, your teppanyaki experience is framed by the Gate of Zero.
Holidays taste even better with our engaging culinary experiences. Master fermentation at the Culinary Learning Centre, go foraging in the Chef’s Garden, and savour special moments with destination dining. Raise a glass to joy with premium, organic and biodynamic spirits – or keep things light with zero-proof cocktails.
