Joali Being
The only wellbeing Island retreat of its kind in the Maldives

About The Hotel
Surrounded by ethereal lagoons and brimming with lush coconut palms, this secluded island is tucked away in the far northern reaches of the Maldives. Situated on Bodufushi Island in Raa Atoll, JOALI BEING reflects the wondrous spirit of its natural surroundings. Explore sound therapy in the indigenous forest, meditate above the tranquil waves, and join the daily sunset ritual on ivory sands.
Built according to biophilic design principles, this retreat evokes harmony and balance by eliminating negative vibrations and enhancing the energy flow of the landscape. Each of the 68 living spaces come with private pools and special inclusions, such as customised mini-bar setups, meditative musical instruments and wellbeing games.
Culinary arts at JOALI BEING focus on an Earth-to-Table initiative, promising ingredient traceability and offering fresh, locally harvested and sustainably sourced foods that support small farms. All food and drink options have been expertly curated with the help of the retreat’s nutritionists, offering a selection of flavours and cuisines with healthy yet indulgent dining options. Bespoke dining arrangements can be enjoyed wherever guests desire, from a private sandbank and nature immersive jungle spaces to an inviting Turtle Treehouse.
