JOALI BEING, a new wellbeing concept in the Maldives
The eagerly anticipated island retreat is set to combine boundless luxury with a dedicatedly natural approach.
Combining sustainable design, exquisite villas and a paradisiacal setting, the new JOALI BEING wellbeing retreat in the Maldives is set to make its hotly awaited debut at the end of the year.
Set on the secluded island of Bodufushi in Raa Atoll, a short seaplane journey away from Male International Airport, JOALI BEING is anticipated to be no ordinary wellbeing retreat. Nature is at the very core of this new offering, from its architecture and interiors, right down to its highly tailored treatments. With this in mind, Elite Traveler set out to discover what’s in store at what is set to be the Maldives’ “first natural immersive wellbeing retreat”.
JOALI BEING has been built from the ground up using biophilic design principles (biophilia means love of nature), a mode of architecture and design which integrates nature into a central part of the design, connecting building occupants more closely to the natural world and achieving harmony. This has left most of the island’s wild forest untouched, making for a lush a verdant island landscape; one that will leave guests feeling cocooned in nature.
Year of Completion : 2021
