Welcome to JOALI Maldives, where barefoot luxury meets bold creativity and soulful design. This ultra-luxury resort in the Raa Atoll isn’t just a tropical escape—it’s an immersive experience woven with art, sustainability, and curated moments of pure indulgence.
Location and Accessibility
JOALI is located on the island of Muravandhoo in the remote and pristine Raa Atoll, one of the Maldives’ most untouched regions.
The journey begins with a scenic 40-minute seaplane flight from Malé International Airport—an experience in itself, with bird’s-eye views of turquoise lagoons and scattered atolls. From the moment you arrive at the private jetty, you’re welcomed into a world where nature and elegance exist in perfect harmony.
Luxurious Accommodations
The villas at JOALI are works of art in their own right. Each of the 73 beach and overwater villas features handpicked materials, curated artworks, private infinity pools, butler service, and uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean.
Spacious, light-filled, and thoughtfully designed, these accommodations offer privacy, serenity, and style in equal measure. Highlights include the Ocean Residence with Four Bedrooms, ideal for families or groups, and the Grand Water Villa, made for romantic escapes.

JOALI takes island dining to new heights with five distinct culinary experiences:
Vandhoo – A journey through Southeast Asian, Mediterranean, and Levant cuisine
Saoke – A stunning overwater Japanese restaurant designed by Noriyoshi Muramatsu
Bellinis – An intimate Italian fine dining escape
