JOALI BEING Opens its Doors for Guests
The highly anticipated wellness retreat JOALI BEING in the Raa Atoll has finally opened its doors to welcome guests.

The highly anticipated JOALI Being has finally opened its doors to welcome guests. Located on the secluded island of Bodufishi in the Raa Atoll, the resort is the first island retreat in the Maldives that is completely dedicated to wellbeing.

A 40-minute seaplane journey from the Male’ International Airport, the island hosts a total of 68 exquisitely designed beach and overwater villas. Each luxurious villa comes with a private pool and a variety of highly personalized amenities. From a minibar, games to aid in your wellbeing and musical instruments for meditation. Furthermore, every villa has its own butler, or ‘Jadugar’, which translates to ‘magician’.

A plethora of wellness facilities presents guests with the opportunity to heal, reflect and grow. These facilities range from holistic and alternative, to diagnostic and scientific. Additionally, fitness regimes and diets can be curated for each individual guest by professional nutritionists as part of the signature immersion programmes.

At JOALI Being, the key philosophy is combining the old and the new to replenish the mind, skin, microbiome and energy. There are 39 elegant elevated treatment rooms dotted along the island. They are designed to harness the healing energies of the natural surroundings to create a completely relaxed environment.

Dining at JOALI Being is an unparalleled culinary journey. The expansive dining space boasts three main kitchens – Plantae, Su and B’Well. They offer a selection of earth-to-table and ocean-to-table meals prepped to perfection with the freshest of ingredients. Moreover, meals served range from vegetarian and vegan to pescatarian. The resort assures that ingredients are sourced from sustainable local farms.

However, one of the more intriguing features is the SAI tea lounge, where guests can sample an impressive range of teas, participate in tea ceremonies, and embark on a spectacular and informative journey with the resort’s tea sommelier.

JOALI Launches Funding Program to Support Grassroots Sustainability Projects in the Maldives

JOALI Funding Program Empowers Maldives Sustainability Projects

In a bid to strengthen community-led sustainability efforts in the Maldives, JOALI Maldives and JOALI BEING have opened applications for their 2025 Sustainability Fund. The initiative focuses on supporting meaningful projects within Raa Atoll, offering grants of up to $3,000 to five locally driven ideas that aim to make a positive impact.

The fund forms part of JOALI’s broader vision to promote thoughtful, responsible living. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach, JOALI encourages residents and organizations in the atoll to bring forward their own solutions to local challenges, whether environmental, social, or economic.

Supporting Local Ideas Through Four Core Themes

Applicants can submit proposals in one of four categories, each reflecting a pillar of JOALI’s sustainability philosophy:

  • Environmental stewardship, such as restoring coral reefs or leading educational programs about conservation.
  • Health and wellness, through initiatives that support mental, physical, or emotional wellbeing.
  • Women’s empowerment, by creating opportunities through education, skill-building, and entrepreneurship.
  • Sustainable living, with efforts that reduce waste, conserve water and energy, or promote ethical consumption habits.

A Community-First Approach to Sustainability

Moreover, what sets this fund apart is its community-first approach. Instead of imposing outside solutions, JOALI invites ideas from those who know the region best, local people with a clear vision for how to protect and uplift their home.

Although JOALI is best known as a luxury resort brand, it has always woven sustainability into its identity. Since the beginning, JOALI has aimed to redefine what luxury looks like, placing equal importance on comfort and care for the planet. As a result, the brand consistently integrates this commitment into daily operations and long-term partnerships, working to make a meaningful difference not just for guests, but for staff, local communities, and the environment as a whole.

Joy of Caring: A Guiding Principle

Furthermore, JOALI grounds this commitment in its guiding principle, “Joy of Caring,” a philosophy that shapes all of its social and environmental efforts. In line with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, this approach helps JOALI build a model of hospitality that doesn’t just look good—it does good.

Ultimately, JOALI aims to empower local changemakers and create a platform where innovation, care, and responsibility intersect. By doing so, the brand fosters a future where both people and nature can thrive together.
