THE BEST: Well-being Resorts

JOALI BEING 

Transformative wellbeing gets taken to the next level at JOALI BEING, the Maldives’ first wellbeing island where abundance and luxury translate to the wealth of holistic healing. Guests are invited on a journey of transcendence with the entire island designed around Four Pillars – Mind, Skin, Microbiome, and Energy.

The magic begins at Areka, a collection of spaces stretched out across the island of Bodufushi in Raa Atoll built to bring JOALI BEING’s meticulous brand to life. The first pavilion is for consultation, and from then on, your journey is curated just for you. The island features 39 treatment rooms where ancient oriental healing practices meet more modern spirituality, immersing guests in signature sounds aligned with planetary frequencies and spatial synergies. As you venture deeper into the spaces, explore invaluable offerings such as the herbology center in AKTAR, the hydrotherapy space promoting healing through water in KAASHI, and the sound healing hall SEDA. 

The island also features Maldives’ largest movement center, CORE, and Ocean Sala, an overwater pavilion for meditation and antigravity yoga among other holistic wellness installations and services that make JOALI BEING not only a pinnacle of design but of human experience as well.
