JOALI BEING

JOALI BEING, the first wellbeing island retreat in the Maldives. 

At JOALI BEING, the first wellbeing island retreat in the Maldives, a journey of transcendence awaits. This exclusive sanctuary invites guests to experience “weightlessness” – a sense of freedom, joy and lightness.

Built according to biophilic design principles, the retreat offers 68 well-living spaces with private pools and special inclusions, such as customised Wellbeing Bar setups and meditative musical instruments. Designed to restore natural balance and facilitate personal transformation, the wellbeing offerings are woven around the Four Pillars of JOALI BEING: Mind, Skin, Microbiome and Energy.

“JOALI BEING is a wellbeing retreat unlike any other in the world; it is a transformative  destination aimed to inspire and ignite the very deepest of mindful connections to one’s self, one another, and one’s environment by enhancing our relationship with the surrounding natural world, our bodies and our minds,” says General Manager Özgür Cengīz.

Ranging from five nights to three weeks, the signature Wellbeing Programmes are customised to the unique needs and goals of each guest. Transformative spaces unfold across the island, offering endless inspiration. KAASHI, the hydrotherapy hall, offers an array of water therapies in complete privacy – from the relaxation of Watsu, to the exhilaration of the Aufguss Sauna. The Turkish-style Hammam hosts calming sojourns while the Salt Inhalation Room offers halotherapy.

The culinary arts at JOALI BEING focuses on an earth-to-table initiative, promising ingredient traceability and offering fresh, locally harvested foods that support small farms and are sustainably sourced.

Each day at JOALI BEING is filled with moments of discovery, mindfulness and invigoration. Bespoke luxury combines with nature’s purest gifts to create a sense of genuine wonder and soulful rejuvenation.
