A Tropical Luxury Escape: JOALI Maldives and JOALI BEING
This year, the Maldives makes its mark in the “Everyone Wins” Nominee Gift Bag in a truly exceptional way. The prestigious JOALI resorts highlight the gift bag, offering nominees a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience two of the most luxurious properties the Maldives offers.
JOALI Maldives
JOALI Maldives sits on the tranquil Muravandhoo Island in Raa Atoll, known for its immersive blend of art and nature. This living gallery offers guests not just a luxurious escape but an experience of creativity and sustainability. The “jadugars,” (magicians in Maldivian), offer bespoke services to ensure every guest’s needs are met with personalization and care. The resort blends traditional luxury with innovative eco-conscious practices, creating an environment where art, nature, and sustainability coexist seamlessly. Guests enjoy local and international artwork throughout the resort, along with stunning white-sand beaches and vibrant marine life surrounding it. Every aspect of JOALI Maldives invites guests to unwind in the most creative and eco-friendly way possible.
JOALI BEING
JOALI BEING, the first island in the Maldives dedicated entirely to wellness, takes the luxury experience to an even more personalized level. The wellness resort offers a holistic approach to well-being, providing an immersive journey through the Four Pillars of Mind, Microbiome, Skin, and Energy. This sanctuary rejuvenates both the body and mind, offering curated wellness journeys with the help of a team of experts. State-of-the-art facilities such as the KAASHI hydrotherapy hall and the B’Kidult wellness zone for families make this luxurious resort the ultimate destination for those seeking not just rest but transformative wellness experiences. The resort’s commitment to health, luxury, and environmental consciousness has made it one of the most sought-after destinations in the world—and now, it is a key offering in the “Everyone Wins” Oscars 2025 Nominee Gift Bag.
