Joali Maldives

Location & Design: The resort is praised for its stunning, serene environment, with overwater villas featuring modern, spacious layouts, soaring ceilings, and seamless integration with natural surroundings.

This is my first time visiting JOALI Maldives and the experience couldn’t be more perfect. Me and my friend screened through some amazing options and finally we landed at JOALI Maldives. This resort really picked out interest with all the amazing reviews and photos. From the first point of reservation until we stepped in at Velana Airport, it was a smooth and seamless journey. The staff were attentive with their service and warm smiles. The property itself is really unique with many art installations strewn around the island. Our Jadugar, or so they called for their butler, booked everything in advance and ensure all of our needs are taken care of. Many times she offered to drive us around via buggy, but me and my friend prefer riding our bikes around the island. A quiet afternoon ride at the island and around the water villas were so dreamy. The villa that we booked was for Beach Villa with Pool, but we were upgraded by the kind staff to Luxury Beach Villa with Pool. The design of the villa is so chic and I really love how they put every details that just feel so right. The highlights of staying in a resort are not just the villa and the location, but also the food. They are carefully curated to tease our tastebuds and savoring every bite is pure bliss. But beware the portions are quite large (for us anyway), we’re so stuffed at the end of our meals. At the last night of our stay, we were trying Saoke, their signature overwater Japanese restaurant. I must say it’s one of the best Japanese restaurant I’ve ever visited so far. We got to see some baby sharks after our dinner, they were swimming around the restaurant. Last but not least, it was really sad to part ways after staying at this beautiful resort and on really short period at that. Perhaps if we can visit Maldives again in the future, we will be back for sure. Thank you once again for the amazing team who made our stay memorable and we hope to see you again in the future.
