One&Only Reethi Rah
Classic luxury entwines with modern escapism at arguably the Maldives’ premier address – this is a glamorous island hideout for ritzy-glitzy beach goers.

On secluded Bodufushi in the Raa Atoll, there’s a well-being wonderland masquerading as an island, where what some thought impossible has been built – a hotel concept the Maldives hasn’t seen before.

On secluded Bodufushi in the Raa Atoll, there’s a well-being wonderland masquerading as an island, where what some thought impossible has been built – a hotel concept the Maldives hasn’t seen before.
It would seem that every brand and its sister has a resort in the Maldives, so the fact that JOALI has managed to create a retreat that’s unlike anything else in the region (or the world for that matter) is an accomplishment that demands to be celebrated. A whirling dervish-inspired arrival jetty provides the gateway to a place that lives and breathes wellness in whatever form it may take, whether the mercury is high or the stars are twinkling.
Don’t expect subpar spa treatments or rigorous bootcamp-style detoxes. Instead, Signature Immersion Programmes and specially designed spaces target particular areas of lifestyle change, eco-friendly architecture aims to enhance positive energy, and there’s no need to fear the clean cuisine, it cleanses but leaves no room for hunger – even the wine that makes an appearance if desired claims to be hangover free.

A sense of
place
The “joy of weightlessness”, that’s JOALI BEING’s moto, and despite being in a place that promotes pure relaxation, this region has never before seen a whole island dedicated to uplifting and energising. This isn’t somewhere to just flop down and will the vitamin D to do its thing though, those that venture to these parts are ready to nurture their connections with each other, the environment and, of course, themselves.
No trees were removed from this on-trend yet tranquil tapestry, allowing the biophilic design to let the island’s habitat do its healing the natural way, and its caring character works hard to better the lives of local women. But the main mission of this pioneer of the well-being scene aims to teach guests as many good things as possible, in the hopes that they’ll be implemented into life back home.
Its essence...
DIGITAL DETOX
HEALING
UPLIFTING
In pursuit of...
… rebalancing the scales
It’s a meeting of like minds, everyone is here to focus on their well-being in one way or another, and while all guests get to revel in consultations and classes should they wish, it’s JOALI’s four pillars – mind, skin, microbiome and energy – that form the basis for the deep-diving programmes. Ranging from five nights to three weeks, these curated treatments are customised after analysis of each guest, from improving stamina and vitality with mind-body connection or learning the link between diet and skin, to just a little bit of everything on the hotel’s signature programme. And while it’s highly encouraged to book onto one, it isn’t necessary to enjoy the island. Well-being, after all, is individual.
On location
To sleep in a spa would be one thing, but to lay your head somewhere that goes far beyond that simple noun is something special. And having a Wellbeing Director-come-General Manager at the helm of the entire property is the cherry on top. With 39 treatments rooms to the 68 villas, there’s always space to be seen by the in-house experts, including naturopaths, nutritionists, therapists and movement specialists. They run the different spaces across the island; including the herbology centre that teaches guests how to make their own lotions and potions, a detoxifying tea lounge that practices ceremonies from all around the world and a sound path lined with instruments-turned-sculptures that realign inner balance with their vibrations.
A place that lives and breathes wellness in whatever form it may take, whether the mercury is high or the stars are twinkling.
A Carrier
curation
Not quite chalk and cheese, but differing nonetheless, JOALI BEING’s sister property is just a 15 minute boat ride away. With an artistic flair and taste for joy-inducing indulgence, we recommend twinning the two islands for the best of both worlds.
Starting with JOALI as the opening act, introducing artist workshops, wine and whisky tastings, and yachting forays to nearby isles; all before office syndrome treatments, tea sommelier sessions and hydrotherapy healing take a bow as the curtain drops on the trip at JOALI BEING.
