JOALI BEING
An immersive wellness retreat in paradise
VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

Whether you need help destressing or a wellness overhaul, a visit to JOALI BEING is in order. Opened in November 2021, the Maldives resort goes beyond spa services — it is a temple of well-being.
Your wellness journey begins even before you step foot on the tucked-away Bodufushi island with a pre-arrival consultation. Later, you’ll undergo an integrative health assessment and movement analysis at the resort. A team of naturopaths, therapists and movement experts use the results to determine which of the pillars — mind, microbiome, skin or energy — would best suit your needs and craft a multi-day immersion program around it. Your tailored program could include one-on-one fitness activities, group classes and nutritious meals.
But this isn’t all work and no play. Get pampered with treatments at the soothing spa (some are included in the program); stroll the interactive sound path (which is dotted with large instruments that look like art installations) that winds through the forest; join snorkeling excursions; embark on a sunset cruise; try a tea tasting; take workshops to make tiger balm, natural perfume or aloe vera face masks; and swim in a sprawling pool or the crystal-clear ocean surrounding you. And at the end of the day, you’ll retreat to a tranquil, luxurious villa.
