Accommodation

At Joali, art isn’t just something that hangs on the walls, it’s an immersive, interactive and integral part of your surroundings. This is a place where traditional Maldivian architecture meets high concept design, in a resort that is scattered with eye-catching sculptures and artwork. Accommodation comes in the form of 73 high-ceilinged, supremely spacious beachside or over-water villas, all with a private infinity pool and outdoor bath and shower.

Restaurants And Bars

Four dining venues include the stunning Japanese restaurant, Saoke, designed by renowned architect Noriyoshi Muramatsu. Bellinis is an Italian fine dining option that also offers a mean take on the eponymous cocktail, while Vandhoo serves pan-Asian and Mediterranean cuisine, and Her Kitchen gives you the chance to get hands-on and learn some local recipes. During the day you can enjoy the street food-style dining and breezy cabanas at Mura Bar, with live music after dark, and those with a sweet tooth will love the artisan chocolate and ice cream on offer at Lajoie.
