JOALI Maldives
An art-immersive island resort in Raa Atoll, sister to JOALI BEING.
JOALI is an art-immersive island resort on Muravandhoo Island in Raa Atoll, ringed by coral reefs and lagoons. Artworks unfold across the island, and creativity runs through the stay alongside snorkelling and time on the sand. Its sister island, JOALI BEING, is devoted to wellbeing. The resort is committed to sustainability and to women's empowerment in the Maldives.
Booked through me, your stay at JOALI Maldives includes Virtuoso benefits.

What people love
- Butlers and staff are attentive and quick to anticipate needs, from dining plans to small requests.
- Spacious villas with private pools and more than 60 artworks around the island give the resort a creative feel.
- Food is a highlight, especially the Japanese restaurant Saoke and a breakfast with buffet and à la carte choices.
- Families value the kids club, children's pool and daily activities, which keep children busy while parents relax.
Watch-outs
- Prices are high and extras such as tennis and padel court hire cost more, so check what your rate includes.
- Breakwaters along parts of the shoreline interrupt the natural beach view in places.
- Villa position matters: sunset side villas are favoured for evening views and easier, sandy entry to the sea.
