JOALI launches Island Homes, a rare opportunity to own an exceptional private residence in the multi-award-winning first wellbeing island of its kind in the Maldives. The island is only a 40-minute scenic journey by seaplane from Velana International Airport or a 90-minute leisurely yacht cruise from Maafaru International Airport, the region’s closest private jet landing runway. Guests can opt for one to four bedrooms on the beach or over water, designed according to the biophilic architectural principles.
With cathedral-like ceilings, mosaic finishings, curved lines and patterns carved in natural wood, stone and bamboo, and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows ushering sunlight and connecting with the tropical surroundings, these 230 to 1700 square meters of residences are set to redefine island living. Each residence features a private swimming pool, living areas, spacious sundeck, indoor and outdoor showers, and a standalone bathtub or sunken tub, completed with a technologically advanced home operating system for ambience and temperature.
The Four Bedroom Wellbeing Private Ocean Residence is the crown jewel for guests seeking the ultimate luxury. Perched over the turquoise Maldivian waters, only a few metres from the house reef facing the sunset, this residence invites a myriad of vibrant marine life, such as dolphins, sea turtles and manta rays, to its vicinity. The Four Bedroom Wellbeing Ocean Residence presents gracious indoor and outdoor lounges and entertainment areas, four generous-sized bedrooms, three of which have spectacular sea views, a 118 square metre infinity pool, an enclosed kitchen and its own wellbeing complex encompassing a private sauna, a treatment room and a movement room fitted with the latest Technogym equipment and its own pilates Cadillac.
For those who desire the spacious ivory-sandy private beach, the Three-Bedroom Wellbeing Beach Residence offers elegantly appointed living areas and dining spaces indoors and outdoors, a 105-square-meter private pool, a convivial kitchen with an island, a gym, a massage bed in an alfresco wellbeing cabana, and a private sauna. Each bedroom welcomes views of the Indian Ocean, private wardrobes, indoor and outdoor bathrooms, and bathtubs.
JOALI fully manages the Island Homes, and owners can also benefit from an attractive rental returns plan. The island is purely dedicated to wellbeing, featuring 68 well-living villas and residences and 39 transformational spaces, including Watsu Pools, a Himalayan Salt Inhalation Room, a Cryotherapy Chamber, Herbology, and a Sound Healing Room. Experiences are centred around the Four Pillars of JOALI BEING, Mind, Skin, Microbiome and Energy, created by Oxford University professor Gerry Bodeker, a Harvard-trained expert on traditional and integrative medicine and wellness. The island offers bespoke Wellbeing Journeys led by a dedicated in-house team of naturopaths, nutritionists, Watsu therapists, sound healing specialists, nutritionists, herbalists, mind and body movement specialists and doctors in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicinal Practitioners. The island also features the first multi-generational playground, B’Kidult, where guests of all ages can immerse in wellbeing workshops and learning sessions, from making natural self-care products with resident herbalists to exploring the power of sound healing guided by experienced sound practitioners.
The culinary arts at JOALI BEING focus on an earth-to-table initiative with three restaurants, a bar, a tea lounge and multiple destination dining venues. FLOW Restaurant brings international fare from open-plan interactive kitchens such as Su, serving pescatarian, Plantae with its vibrant vegetarian and vegan fares, and B’Well, the signature kitchen with premium meat and poultry selections. MOJO restaurant and bar is the island’s tropical beach sanctuary, serving international and Mediterranean cuisine and hand-crafted drinks in a laid-back atmosphere. Yutori celebrates mindful Japanese cuisine by Michelin-star chef Yamamoto Hidemasi over the lagoon.
