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.

The Maldives’ Expanding Global Reach

The rise of emerging markets is reshaping the Maldives’ tourism sector, with countries from Eastern Europe, South Asia, and the Middle East driving this shift. As a result, the Maldives is increasingly attracting visitors from regions that were once less prominent. This expansion reflects broader diversification, with new markets such as Poland, Kazakhstan, and Romania showing steady growth. Moreover, these countries are not only adding to the tourism numbers but are becoming integral in redefining the Maldives as a sought-after destination for travelers seeking luxury and exclusivity.

This transformation is supported by the Maldives’ strategic efforts to enhance accessibility, particularly through expanded direct flight routes and targeted marketing in fast-growing economies. Thus, these initiatives have allowed the Maldives to position itself as a top destination for an emerging generation of affluent travelers. With sustained growth from these new markets, the Maldives is solidifying its appeal to a broader global audience, ensuring that its tourism sector remains dynamic and poised for continued success.

These markets have long been key players in the Maldives tourism sector, consistently delivering high numbers of visitors and maintaining a dominant position. Nevertheless, the influence of emerging markets is steadily gaining momentum, further diversifying the destination’s visitor base. While the top markets remain strong, the growth of new regions highlights the Maldives’ evolving appeal and its ability to attract a more global audience, ensuring the tourism sector’s ongoing development.

A Diverse Future for Maldives Tourism

As the Maldives continues to attract a diverse range of travelers, the rise of emerging markets signals a bright future for the country’s tourism industry. With steady growth and the continued strength of traditional markets, the destination’s visitor base is becoming more diverse than ever before. Ongoing efforts to enhance accessibility and target new audiences ensure the Maldives will remain a leading global destination. As new markets continue to gain ground, the future of Maldives tourism looks increasingly dynamic and promising.
