How JOALI Maldives is Putting An Artistic Spin on Eco-Luxe Holidaying
This remote Maldivian paradise is redefining the meaning of sustainable luxury and wellness
Travel is back in a big way, but the tides are changing when it comes to the type of traveling people are wanting to do.
The research on the psychological benefits of immersing yourself in nature is unequivocal. Yet, today people have a heightened awareness of the precarious state of the planet.
Enter eco-travel, which is gaining traction within the tourism industry as a way to sustainably engage with the wonders of the natural world. JOALI Maldives, an eco-inspired luxury retreat, nestled on the remote island of Muravandhoo, is committed to preserving its surrounding fragile coral reef ecosystem, while also contributing to the local economy. At this glamorous resort, wellness and partaking in eco-initiatives are key elements of the guest experience.
JOALI is the first and only Maldivian art immersive luxury resort. Self-cultivation by way of tapping into your inner creativity is offered as an outlet for rejuvenation – and inspiration abounds with the majestic scenery. Guests can participate in art workshops, which are also open to the community, specifically to local artisan women – whose oeuvres are available for purchase from the resort’s Art Studio.
The spacious 73 over-water villas are decorated with artworks created by both local and world-famous artists. The art – all made with recycled materials – is speckled throughout the resort in ways that complement the island’s natural beauty.
JOALI is proudly accredited by EarthCheck, a global scientific benchmarking advisory group, which rigorously audits the environmental and social impact, and the action plans of resorts and hotels. Not only does the resort boast unparalleled immersive nature experiences, like scuba-diving, but it also offers educational lectures on marine ecology. Guests can learn and even take part in the resort’s robust Reef Restoration Programme.
Known as the rainforests of the ocean, coral reefs are delicate, precious gems and a stay at JOALI promises to be as relaxing and glamorous as it is enriching and deeply rewarding.
JOALI is offering 20% off for guests who book from now until November 1, 2023, for stays between January 11 – December 25, 2023, in addition to daily butler service, complimentary non-motorised water sports, complimentary fitness classes and more.
