JOALI, the multi-award-winning wellbeing island in the Maldives, is thrilled to announce the launch of Island Homes, offering an exceptional opportunity to own a private residence on this unique destination. The island, accessible via a 40-minute scenic seaplane journey from Velana International Airport or a 90-minute leisurely yacht cruise from Maafaru International Airport, sets a new standard in island living with its one-of-a-kind residences.
Designed according to biophilic architectural principles, these residences come in one to four-bedroom configurations, both on the beach and over the water. Spanning from 230 to 1,700 square meters, each home features cathedral-like ceilings, intricate mosaic finishes, and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows that seamlessly blend the indoor and outdoor environments. Key amenities include a private swimming pool, spacious living areas, a sundeck, and a technologically advanced home operating system for optimal comfort and control.
The Four Bedroom Wellbeing Private Ocean Residence stands as the pinnacle of luxury. Perched over the turquoise waters, this residence offers breathtaking views of the sunset and proximity to vibrant marine life, including dolphins, sea turtles, and manta rays. It boasts gracious indoor and outdoor lounges, four generously sized bedrooms, a 118-square-meter infinity pool, an enclosed kitchen, and a private wellbeing complex featuring a sauna, treatment room, and a movement room equipped with the latest Technogym equipment and a pilates Cadillac.
For those who prefer a private beach, the Three-Bedroom Wellbeing Beach Residence provides elegantly appointed living and dining spaces, a 105-square-meter private pool, a convivial kitchen with an island, a gym, and a private sauna. Each bedroom offers views of the Indian Ocean, complete with private wardrobes, indoor and outdoor bathrooms, and bathtubs.
JOALI fully manages the Island Homes and offers an attractive rental returns plan for owners. The island is 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, and a Sound Healing Room. The island’s experiences are centered around the Four Pillars of JOALI BEING: Mind, Skin, Microbiome, and Energy, curated by Oxford University professor Gerry Bodeker, a Harvard-trained expert in traditional and integrative medicine and wellness.
The island also features the first multi-generational playground, B’Kidult, where guests of all ages can participate in wellbeing workshops and learning sessions, from creating natural self-care products with resident herbalists to exploring the power of sound healing guided by experienced practitioners.
The culinary arts at JOALI BEING focus on an earth-to-table initiative, offering dining venues such as the international fare at FLOW Restaurant, the pescatarian and vegetarian dishes at Su and Plantae, and the premium meat and poultry selections at B’Well. MOJO restaurant and bar provides a tropical beach sanctuary with international and Mediterranean cuisine and hand-crafted drinks, while Yutori, led by Michelin-star chef Yamamoto Hidemasi, celebrates mindful Japanese cuisine over the lagoon.
The Global Wellness Institute reports that wellness real estate is the fastest-growing market in the 11-sector wellness economy, growing from $225 billion in 2019 to $438 billion in 2023.
