Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best time to visit JOALI BEING?

JOALI BEING welcomes guests year-round. The dry season from November to April offers the most consistently sunny weather with calm seas, ideal for water activities. The green season (May to October) brings occasional tropical showers but also lush vegetation, exceptional diving visibility and a more intimate atmosphere. The island’s transformative programmes are equally effective in any season.

What makes JOALI BEING different from other wellness retreats?

JOALI BEING is the Maldives’ first purpose-built wellbeing island—every element has been intentionally designed for transformation. The unique Four Pillars framework (Mind, Skin, Microbiome, Energy) offers a truly holistic approach rarely found elsewhere. The combination of cutting-edge science, ancient wisdom traditions, world-class practitioners and an extraordinary natural setting creates an immersive experience that goes far beyond a typical spa retreat.

How do I get to JOALI BEING?

JOALI BEING is located in the Raa Atoll, reached via a scenic 45-minute seaplane journey from Velana International Airport in Malé. The resort arranges all transfers, and the seaplane flight itself is a breathtaking introduction to your journey, offering aerial views of the stunning atolls and turquoise lagoons that await you.

What should I pack for my wellbeing journey?

Pack light, breathable resort wear and yoga or movement attire in natural fabrics. Bring swimwear, reef-safe sunscreen, a hat and comfortable sandals. The island embraces barefoot luxury, so formal attire is unnecessary. You may wish to bring a journal for reflection. The resort provides robes, yoga mats and any specialist equipment needed for treatments and activities.

Are children welcome at JOALI BEING?

JOALI BEING is designed as an adult-focused sanctuary to maintain an atmosphere of tranquillity and deep transformation. Guests must be 14 years or older. Families with younger children may wish to consider JOALI Maldives, the sister property, which offers family-friendly luxury experiences and is just a short boat ride away.

Can dietary requirements be accommodated?

Absolutely. JOALI BEING’s culinary philosophy centres on plant-forward cuisine crafted to support your wellbeing journey. The team expertly accommodates all dietary requirements including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and specific therapeutic diets. Many ingredients are grown in the island’s organic gardens, and nutrition consultations help ensure your meals align perfectly with your transformation goals.

What types of accommodation are available?

JOALI BEING offers spacious beach villas with private ocean pools and tropical gardens, as well as stunning overwater residences with direct lagoon access. All accommodations feature natural materials, considered design, outdoor bathrooms and views that connect you to the healing environment. Each villa serves as a private sanctuary for rest and reflection between treatments.

How long should I stay for meaningful results?

We recommend a minimum stay of 5-7 nights to fully immerse in JOALI BEING’s transformative programmes and experience meaningful change. For deeper exploration of all Four Pillars and lasting renewal, extended stays of 10-14 nights are highly beneficial. The wellbeing team will curate your journey based on your available time and personal intentions.

Is JOALI BEING suitable for solo travellers?

JOALI BEING is ideal for solo travellers seeking personal transformation in a supportive environment. Many guests come alone to focus entirely on their wellbeing journey. The island’s communal spaces, group activities and shared dining options create opportunities for meaningful connection, while the private villas offer complete sanctuary when you need solitude and reflection.

What happens during my initial wellbeing assessment?

Upon arrival, you will meet with your dedicated wellbeing guide for a comprehensive assessment exploring your health history, current challenges, goals and intentions. This may include discussions about your Four Pillars, lifestyle factors and what you hope to achieve. This thoughtful consultation forms the foundation for your bespoke programme, ensuring every experience is curated specifically for your unique path to transformation.
