JOALI BEING Recognised Among the World’s Top 5 Wellness Hotels and Awarded Two MICHELIN Keys 2025
The 2025 MICHELIN Keys were unveiled on 8th October 2025 during a global ceremony in Paris, marking the latest evolution of the MICHELIN Guide’s hotel distinctions.
Launched last year, the MICHELIN Key — often described as the hotel equivalent of the MICHELIN Star — distinguishes the world’s most exceptional stays. This year, Inspectors refreshed the selection across North America, Europe, and Asia, while expanding it to nearly 100 new countries worldwide.
JOALI BEING is honoured to be recognised among the Top 5 Wellness Hotels in the World as a finalist for the inaugural MICHELIN Wellness Award 2025, a new accolade celebrating destinations where wellbeing is the essence of the experience. In addition, JOALI BEING has been awarded Two MICHELIN Keys, positioning the Well-Living island among the most remarkable stays in the world.
This year’s MICHELIN Wellness Award introduced a new chapter in the Guide’s legacy, spotlighting properties that elevate wellbeing beyond the traditional spa experience to embody a fully curated, health-conscious lifestyle. The five nominees — JOALI BEING (Maldives), Bürgenstock Resort (Switzerland), Canyon Ranch Tucson (USA), Lily of the Valley (France), and The Retreat at Blue Lagoon (Iceland) — were recognised as leaders redefining wellness hospitality through innovation, authenticity, and purpose.
The Two MICHELIN Keys distinction for JOALI BEING celebrates the island’s exceptional design, service, and contribution to wellbeing — where every detail inspires balance, renewal, and connection. Guided by the Four Pillars of Mind, Skin, Microbiome, and Energy, JOALI BEING blends modern science with time-honoured traditions to create deeply personal journeys of transformation.
