JOALI Maldives
Raa Atoll · 170km from Malé
Art-immersive ultra-luxury resort where every corner tells a creative story
About JOALI Maldives
JOALI Maldives is the world's first art-immersive luxury island resort — a place where every surface, corridor, and villa tells a story through commissioned artworks by international and regional artists. Set on Muravandhoo Island in Raa Atoll, the resort is surrounded by some of the most biodiverse coral reefs in the northern Maldives.
With 73 villas split between beach and water settings, JOALI offers extraordinary dining that spans Southeast Asia, Japan, Peru, Italy, and the Levant — one of the most globally diverse culinary programmes in the Maldives. The resort's sister property, JOALI BEING, is the Maldives' first dedicated wellbeing island.
JOALI's commitment to sustainable glamour is reflected in every detail — from the use of local materials in construction to marine conservation partnerships and the resort's ongoing support for Maldivian artisans.
