WELLBEING RETREAT · FIVE STARS
JOALI BEING
A well-living island on Bodufushi in Raa Atoll, built around four pillars of wellbeing, with 68 pool villas, a resident herbologist and a sea turtle rehabilitation centre.
An island built around four pillars
JOALI BEING occupies Bodufushi Island in Raa Atoll, a 40-minute seaplane flight north of Malé. The resort was conceived as a dedicated wellbeing retreat rather than a beach hotel with a spa attached, and its architecture, dining and daily rhythm are all built around what it calls the Four Pillars: Mind, Skin, Microbiome and Energy.
Sixty-eight beach and overwater pool villas sit along the shoreline and lagoon, each with a private butler known locally as a Jadugar. Guests can follow a structured multi-night wellbeing programme through halls such as KAASHI and AKTAR, or simply keep to the beach, the reef and three earth-to-table restaurants. A resident marine biologist also runs the island's coral and sea turtle rehabilitation work with the Olive Ridley Project.
