JOALI BEING
JOALI BEING is the Maldives' first wellbeing retreat of its kind, situated on the pristine island of Bodufushi in Raa Atoll. Designed around the concept of 'Weightlessness', the resort invites guests to disconnect from the noise of modern life and reconnect with their essential selves through four pillars: Mind, Skin, Microbiome, and Energy.
The island features 68 exclusive beach and water villas, each with a private pool and dedicated wellbeing butler (Jadugar). Architecture blends biophilic design with local craftsmanship, utilizing natural materials to create seamless indoor-outdoor living. There are no televisions in villas, encouraging digital detox, though high-speed connectivity is available.
Culinary philosophy centers on 'Earth-to-Table' dining across five distinct venues, emphasizing nutrient-dense, sustainably sourced ingredients tailored to individual dietary needs and wellbeing goals. The ESPA wellbeing center spans a significant portion of the island, offering a hydrotherapy complex, diagnostic laboratory, herbology apothecary, and curated transformation programs ranging from 3 to 21 nights.
