Joali Being
overview

Joali Being is an ultra-luxury wellbeing retreat set on the private island of Bodufushi in the Maldives’ Raa Atoll, surrounded by white-sand beaches, tropical vegetation and the clear waters of the Indian Ocean. Rather than a conventional Maldivian resort with a spa attached, wellbeing forms the foundation of the entire experience, combining exceptional accommodation and dining with personalised programmes focused on relaxation, movement, nutrition and restoration.

About

Reached by seaplane from Malé, JOALI BEING has been designed around the principle of ‘biophilic’ architecture, with buildings and spaces intended to work harmoniously with the natural environment. Guests can simply enjoy the island as a luxurious beach retreat or take a more structured approach with personalised wellbeing programmes built around four pillars: Mind, Skin, Microbiome and Energy. Expert practitioners, therapists and visiting specialists provide a wide range of treatments and experiences, while the atmosphere remains relaxed rather than feeling clinical or restrictive.

Rooms

Accommodation comprises spacious Beach and Water Villas and larger multi-bedroom residences, all with private pools and extensive indoor and outdoor living areas. Interiors are light, contemporary and deliberately calming, using natural materials and soft tones throughout. Beach Villas provide direct access to the sand and tropical gardens, while Water Villas extend over the lagoon with private decks and steps into the ocean. Larger residences offer exceptional space and privacy for families or groups travelling together.

Dining

Dining follows the resort’s wellbeing philosophy without making the experience feel overly restrictive. FLOW is the main dining destination, bringing together several different culinary concepts with menus focused on fresh, nutritious and carefully sourced ingredients, while Ocean Sala provides relaxed dining beside the water. Personalised nutritional guidance can be incorporated into a stay for those following a dedicated programme, but guests can equally enjoy excellent food, desserts and drinks without committing to a particular regime.

Activity

Wellbeing is naturally at the heart of the experience, with an extensive range of spa treatments, hydrotherapy, yoga, Pilates, meditation, sound therapy, fitness and movement sessions available. The resort’s impressive wellbeing facilities include treatment rooms, saunas, steam rooms, hydrotherapy areas and dedicated spaces for relaxation and learning. Guests can also enjoy snorkelling, diving, paddleboarding, kayaking, tennis and excursions around Raa Atoll, while marine conservation and nature experiences provide another way to connect with the surroundings.
