JOALI Maldives, Raa Atoll


Raa Atoll

JOALI Maldives sits on the remote Muravandhoo Island in the unspoiled Raa Atoll, just a 45-minute seaplane journey from Malé. One of the largest and deepest in the Maldives, this northern atoll boasts a rich marine ecosystem, with vibrant coral reefs and a kaleidoscope of sea life perfect for snorkelling and diving. Significant nearby dive sites include The Temple of Doom and Reef Express. Beyond the resort’s doorstep, guests can embark on private yacht excursions to Vaadhoo Island to witness the “Sea of Stars” bioluminescence phenomenon, sail to remote neighbouring islets, or explore nearby inhabited islands such as Maalhos for a culturally enriching experience. 

"At JOALI Maldives, the luxury isn't just in the surroundings – it's in the service. The Jadugar, or 'magician', is your personal butler, and they truly live up to the name. From unpacking your suitcase to arranging a sunset dinner on a private sandbank, their intuitive attention to detail transforms your stay into something seamless and spectacular. This level of care goes beyond just personalised service; it feels almost telepathic. This is what sets JOALI apart."

Why it’s one-of-a-kind:

An ode to the joy of living, the resort is the Maldives’ only art-immersive luxury resort. Inspiration meets elegance across a stunning canvas of white sand, turquoise waters, and curated creativity. Each villa is an experience in itself: rich in story, layered in design, and attended by a dedicated Jadugar (butler) who anticipates your every need. Dining becomes theatre with experiential settings like a treetop manta ray-inspired pavilion or a secluded sandbank under the stars; while wellness is reimagined at JOALI BEING Cure, offering a glimpse into the future of holistic luxury. More than just a place to escape, JOALI is where you arrive to reconnect, to be inspired, and to return home transformed.
