This is the First Wellbeing Island of Maldives

Biophilic designs, hydrotherapy hall, purposeful activities, and earth-to-table cuisines, JOALI BEING is a nature-immersive wellbeing island retreat.

A wellness getaway in the Maldives has long been a coveted escape for all wellness connoisseurs. With its powder-soft white sand, swaying palms, and the endless expanse of the Indian Ocean in a mesmerising shade of blue, the setting alone is a balm for the soul. JOALI BEING, the first wellbeing island in the Maldives, offers a chance to slow down and revel in wellness like none other.

Situated on Bodufushi Island in Raa Atoll, JOALI BEING is guided by the principles of biophilic design, and integrates nature into every aspect of your experience. The island’s philosophy revolves around achieving a state of "weightlessness"—a feeling of lightness, renewal, and pure joy. With just 68 private pool villas, including 33 beach villas and 35 overwater villas, this sanctuary ensures an exclusive and immersive retreat tailored to individual wellbeing goals.

A Personalised Path to Wellness

At the heart of JOALI BEING’s philosophy lie the Four Pillars—Mind, Skin, Microbiome, and Energy—each forming the foundation of a highly personalised wellness journey. Every guest benefits from a curated program that draws on both ancient wisdom and modern science, facilitated by a world-class team of naturopaths, movement experts, therapists, and Ayurvedic doctors.

The island’s transformative wellness spaces offer a symphony of rejuvenating experiences. Areka, the hub of relaxation, houses gender-separated hydrotherapy areas, an ice grotto, a steam room, vitality pools, and a sauna, all designed to restore balance. CORE is the movement and fitness space, featuring state-of-the-art Technogym and Nohrd equipment, encouraging both strength and mobility.

SEDA, the island’s dedicated sound healing space, allows guests to embrace vibrational therapy, while KAASHI, the hydrotherapy hall, offers the therapeutic wonders of Watsu water therapy and the revitalising Aufguss Sauna ritual. The Turkish Hammam, Salt Inhalation Room, and crystal healing therapies further enhance the path to self-discovery and renewal. Meanwhile, AKTAR, the resident herbology center, invites guests to explore the healing power of bespoke herbal teas, tonics, and balms, expertly crafted by JOALI BEING’s in-house Herbologist.

Gastronomy that Nourishes the Soul

Culinary artistry at JOALI BEING follows the Earth-to-Table philosophy, ensuring traceable, fresh, and sustainably sourced ingredients. Guests can embark on a flavourful journey at FLOW, an interactive dining space featuring three signature kitchens:

  • Su: Ocean-to-table pescatarian delights

  • Plantae: A nourishing vegetarian and vegan haven

  • B’Well: A signature menu featuring wholesome meat and poultry dishes

For a more relaxed atmosphere, MOJO, a chic beachside retreat, serves as the perfect setting for lunch and sunset cocktails, transitioning into a Mediterranean-inspired dining experience by night.

Yutori, the overwater Japanese haven designed by Chef Yamamoto Hidemasi, offers an innovative menu celebrating the freshest flavours from land and sea, along with an intimate teppanyaki experience for up to six guests. Meanwhile, SAI Tea Lounge invites guests to discover an extraordinary selection of brews and partake in traditional tea ceremonies led by the resident sommelier. For those who prefer private dining, bespoke experiences range from secluded sandbank feasts to treetop meals at the enchanting Turtle Treehouse.

A Haven for Play and Connection

JOALI BEING is not just for solo travellers and couples—it embraces multi-generational wellbeing through its unique B’Kidult concept, designed to bring different generations together through engaging and purposeful activities. This initiative nurtures early-stage learning, self-confidence, and physical wellness, allowing young guests to connect with nature meaningfully.

Whether you seek a profound reset, deep healing, or simply an exquisite escape where wellbeing takes center stage, JOALI BEING redefines luxury through the lens of holistic transformation.
