JOALI Maldives lies on the island of Muravandhoo in Raa Atoll in the northern Maldives. Guests arrive by seaplane from Malé. The resort brings together art, architecture and nature: installations, furniture and objects by artists are spread across the whole island, many of them meant to be touched. All 73 villas and residences have their own pool. The resort suits couples who appreciate design, and families too, as Kids of JOALI offers a dedicated programme for children.
At JOALI Maldives, art is not decoration but part of island life. The outdoor works include the Wishing Palm in front of La Joie and the Manta Tree House, a manta sculpture in the trees that you can step inside. Selected pieces are available at the Maison de JOALI boutique.
Whether on the beach or over the water, every villa has a private pool. The Water Villas stand above the lagoon, the Beach Villas right on the sand. A personal butler, known here as a Jadugar, takes care of your wishes throughout your stay.
The Japanese restaurant Saoke floats above the water and serves sushi, sake and teppanyaki. Vandhoo offers dishes from Southeast Asia, China and India, while Bellinis serves Italian cuisine. Tuh’u brings Levantine dishes to the sand beneath the palms, and Mura Bar by the pool is the place for a sundowner.
The 73 villas and residences range from the Water Villa with Pool, with a total area of 240 m², to the Four Bedroom Beach Residence with Pool at 1,200 m². In between are Luxury Sunset Water Villas with a 35 m² infinity pool, Beach Villas with up to 865 m² in total and family villas with two pools. The Three Bedroom Ocean Residence stands over the water and has two pools. Artworks are part of the villas‘ furnishings.
JOALI Maldives combines a beach holiday with a consistent art concept: the works are not gathered in a gallery but spread across the island, right down to the bar counter and the villas. The wellness centre offers overwater treatment rooms with their own steam room and sauna, plus a hammam, a vitality pool, a yoga pavilion and a Reformer Pilates studio. For those with a sweet tooth, La Joie serves chocolate and ice cream.
Pick up the Art Map when you arrive and explore the installations at your own pace. If you would like to get creative yourself, book a workshop at the Art Studio, where resident and visiting artists lead the classes.
