JOALI launches Island Homes, offering a rare opportunity to own a private residence on the world’s first wellbeing island in the Maldives. The island sits just a 40-minute scenic seaplane ride from Velana International Airport or a 90-minute leisurely yacht cruise from Maafaru International Airport, the region’s closest private jet landing runway.
Moreover, guests can choose from one- to four-bedroom homes, located either on the beach or perched over the water. These homes embrace biophilic architectural principles, creating a seamless connection between indoor spaces and the lush natural surroundings. The residences feature cathedral-like ceilings, large floor-to-ceiling windows, and organic materials such as wood, stone, and bamboo. As a result, these elements invite sunlight and the island’s beauty to flow inside, creating a serene living environment.
Ranging from 230 to 1,700 square meters, each residence includes expansive living areas, a private swimming pool, and luxurious amenities such as indoor and outdoor showers and standalone bathtubs. In addition, technologically advanced home systems allow residents to control ambiance and temperature, ensuring comfort and personalization at all times.
The Ultimate in Luxury Island Living
For those seeking the pinnacle of luxury, the Four Bedroom Wellbeing Private Ocean Residence stands as the crown jewel. Positioned just meters above the turquoise Maldivian waters and facing the sunset, this home provides stunning views of vibrant marine life, including dolphins, sea turtles, and manta rays. Furthermore, inside, the residence offers generous indoor and outdoor living spaces, including lounges, entertainment areas, and four spacious bedrooms, three of which feature breathtaking sea views. The home also includes a 118-square-meter infinity pool, an enclosed kitchen, and a dedicated wellbeing complex complete with a sauna, treatment room, and fitness area outfitted with Technogym equipment and a Pilates Cadillac.
For those who prefer a beachfront lifestyle, the Three-Bedroom Wellbeing Beach Residence grants private access to the island’s pristine ivory-sanded beaches. In particular, this home includes elegantly appointed living and dining areas, both indoors and outdoors, a 105-square-meter private pool, a convivial kitchen with an island, a gym, and a massage cabana. Each bedroom enjoys private views of the Indian Ocean, with access to both indoor and outdoor bathrooms, as well as luxurious bathtubs for ultimate relaxation.
An Exclusive Retreat for Wellbeing
JOALI BEING dedicates itself entirely to wellbeing. The island includes 68 villas and residences, alongside 39 transformational spaces like Watsu Pools, a Himalayan Salt Inhalation Room, a Cryotherapy Chamber, Herbology, and a Sound Healing Room. Notably, the experiences on the island center around the Four Pillars of JOALI BEING—Mind, Skin, Microbiome, and Energy. Created by renowned experts, including Oxford University Professor Gerry Bodeker, these pillars guide the bespoke Wellbeing Journeys led by an in-house team of naturopaths, nutritionists, Watsu therapists, sound healing specialists, herbalists, mind and body movement experts, and doctors specializing in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
In addition to that, guests of all ages can immerse themselves in wellbeing workshops at B’Kidult, the first-ever multi-generational playground. Here, visitors can learn to make natural self-care products with resident herbalists or explore the power of sound healing under the guidance of expert practitioners.
