JOALI BEING Cure
Welcome to a new era of relaxation and rejuvenation at the rebranded spa, JOALI BEING Cure. Guests can now enjoy a taste of JOALI BEING, the first and only well-being island of its kind in the Maldives. The spa focuses on the four pillars of mind, skin, microbiome, and energy.
Pool & Beach
Take a break from your private pool to mingle with other hotel guests. There are different beach huts, lounge chairs, and daybeds all sprinkled throughout the resort. Order food and drinks from wherever you end up or grab a bite at Mura Bar.
How To Get There & Around
It may take a long time to get there but the ride will be well worth it. You have two options to arrive to the island: a 40 minute seaplane transfer from Male international airport, or a 35 minutes domestic flight to Ifuru Airport followed by a 15 minute speedboat transfer to the island. The hotel will assist you with the travel accommodations. Whichever route you choose, JOALI has private lounges for guests to wait in during travel.
Accessibility & Dietary Restrictions
The hotel itself is built on one floor and features an accessible path that leads to the main bar and guest rooms. Travel wise, this is a really difficult location in the world to get to. It involves extensive hours traveling by commercial plane, small plane, and boat.
JOALI Maldives can cater to almost all dietary requirements. Let them know ahead of your stay or when you arrive at each restaurant so they can accommodate your request.
For specific inquiries, we recommend calling ahead to confirm to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible.
