JOALI BEING
At JOALI BEING, the first well-being island retreat in the Maldives, a journey of transcendence awaits. This exclusive sanctuary invites guests to experience “weightlessness” – a sense of freedom, joy and lightness.
Centred around the unique Four Pillars of JOALI BEING, the retreat leads the way in well-being education to build a community of sojourners, culinarians and thinkers that then continue their daily lives, bringing with them the knowledge and experiences from the retreat.
JOALI BEING’s offerings draw on both modern science and long-honoured traditions that enable guests to be met where they are and further guided on a journey of self-discovery and renewal, all while savouring the joy of the here and now. A dedicated expert team of naturopaths, therapists and movement experts will work with guests every step of one’s stay to help set intentions, nurture with empathy and co-create moments of wonder and transcendence.
Built according to biophilic design principles, the retreat offers 68 well-living spaces with private pools and special inclusions, such as customised Wellbeing Bar setups and meditative musical instruments. Designed to restore natural balance and facilitate personal transformation, the well-being offerings are woven around the Four Pillars of JOALI BEING: Mind, Skin, Microbiome and Energy. Ranging from five nights to three weeks, the signature Wellbeing Programmes are customised to the unique needs and goals of each guest. Transformative spaces unfold across the island, offering endless inspiration. KAASHI, the hydrotherapy hall, offers an array of water therapies in complete privacy – from the relaxation of Watsu to the exhilaration of the Aufguss Sauna. The Turkish-style Hammam hosts calming sojourns while the Salt Inhalation Room offers halotherapy.
JOALI BEING’s culinary arts prioritise ingredient traceability and sustainable sourcing, with a focus on locally harvested foods that support small farms. FLOW is an interactive dining space with three signature kitchens: Su for ocean-to-table pescatarian cuisine, Plantae for vegetarian and vegan fare, and B’Well for meat and poultry options. MOJO is a tropical beach sanctuary with a three-layered sundeck, featuring SAI tea lounge for tea ceremonies and learning sessions with a resident tea sommelier. Ocean Sala Dining offers grilled premium cuts of meat and seafood, including specialities like Wagyu beef, Japanese scallops, and Maldivian lobster and tuna. Private dining experiences like Teppanyaki and bespoke arrangements can be enjoyed anywhere on the island, from a private bank to an inviting Turtle Treehouse.
The possibilities are endless when you choose to escape with JOALI.
