OUR STORY

“I found true joy there, and remembered my reason for living.”

Designed as a luxurious art-immersive island retreat, JOALI Maldives focuses on sustainable glamour. This experiential destination has been created in collaboration with world-renowned artists and local artisans. Our revival of Maldivian craftsmanship also supports the local community.

WHERE IS JOALI Maldives?

Hidden away in the northern reaches of the Maldives, JOALI is situated on Muravandhoo Island in the Raa Atoll, one of the largest and deepest in the world. “Atoll” comes from atholhu – a Dhivehi term used by early geographers to describe the region’s distinctive ring-shaped coral reefs, embedded in tranquil lagoons.

THE WAY TO JOALI Maldives

Spectacular views await you at JOALI Maldives, whichever way you decide to travel. There are three ways to reach our isle of indulgence.

I - Shared Seaplane Flight. A 40-minute flight takes you from Male Airport to Muravandhoo Island. Refresh at our private airport lounge before your seaplane flight. Pre-arranged transfers also enjoy a special JOALI style greeting.

II - Private Seaplane Charter. Let a private seaplane whisk you away to our magical island resort. Please contact the reservations team for more information.

Please keep in mind that: Seaplane transfers are available only during daylight hours.

The Maldives is a unique place with a fragile ecosystem. From the tiniest sea creature to the tallest palm tree, each living thing plays a vital role in the replenishing experience created by these islands. Our resort was constructed keeping in mind the conservation of the natural environment as much as possible. Over a thousand trees were preserved, and they continue to share their abundant gifts with us each day.

DISCOVER SUSTAINABILITY

As a luxury hospitality and lifestyle brand, JOALI is committed to sustainability. Every aspect of our company’s culture and strategy is founded on the idea of “responsible luxury”.

REEF RESTORATION

The JOALI Reef Restoration Programme uses a two-step gardening concept focused on planting corals that show resilience to heat, and ensuring healthy genetic diversity.

BACK TO NATURE

Our recycling initiatives are designed around responsible consumption. Along with operating our own glass water bottling plant, we use bio-waste to make natural fertilisers.
