Independent company JOALI, unveiled its first resort JOALI Maldives in 2018. From the manta-ray-shaped tree house to the sculptural chairs sprinkled across the grounds to the artist-in-residence who teaches lessons in ceramics and painting, JOALI Maldives is all about art. The new addition JOALI BEING, which opened in November 2021, is an experiential wellness retreat. A stay at the adults-only resort starts with a pre-arrival well-being consultation and an integrative well-being evaluation, which help lay out a tailored path of workouts, spa treatments, workshops, and healthy, gastronomical experiences.
JOALI BEING is a nature-immersive well-being island retreat, where well-being is more than a phrase — it's a way of life, a way of being. The retreat offers transformative journeys and personalized programs based on the four pillars of JOALI BEING, which cover the mind, micro biome, skin, and energy, with the goal of guests leaving home renewed, uplifted, and inspired with a sense of "weightlessness," rather than a traditional resort with a spa experience and facilities.
From sound treatments and hydrotherapy to herbology center and learning facilities, the retreat was built using biophilic design principles. The concept integrates architecture and design with nature to achieve harmony and enhance energy flow with a collection of unique transformational spaces that offer endless possibilities for reflection and healing.
JOALI BEING's transformative venues provide discerning well-being tourists the opportunity to open doors to new pathways of well-being not seen previously in the region, in addition to infusing existing traditions and luxury connected with the destination.
The SEDA sound therapy hall is a mesmerizing sanctuary created by sound healing visionary and JOALI BEING collaborator Aurelio C. Hammer, to restore inner balance through the healing harmony of music and vibration. Kaashi, the hydrotherapy hall honors the sanitas per aquas – "healing with water" tradition. The purifying properties of the Russian Banya, the excitement of the Aufguss Sauna, and the delightful tranquility of the Sensory Deprivation Room are all available to rebalance and restore.
Aktar, the herbology center blends traditional Anatolian remedies and Maldivian healing arts to accentuate the healing energies of herbs. Ocean Sala offers over-water & mind facilities, which include an antigravity yoga pavilion, a podologist center, and a meditation terrace with majestic ocean views.
