Joali Maldives is marking its seventh anniversary, celebrating a remarkable journey shaped by artistry, service excellence and its signature philosophy, the joy of creative living. Since opening in 2018, the design-driven resort has grown from an ambitious newcomer into one of the most admired names in Maldivian luxury hospitality.
Built on the vision of sharing the joy of living, Joali Maldives evolved this philosophy into the joy of creative living — expressed through its position as the Maldives’ first and only art-immersive resort. With 73 villas defined by sustainable glamour, the property showcases architectural storytelling, bespoke artworks and imaginative design elements that inspire at every turn.
Joali Maldives’ culture of genuine service has been central to its success. Personalised experiences, intuitive hospitality and a team dedicated to thoughtful detail have shaped the resort into a sanctuary for discerning travellers seeking privacy, connection and emotional depth. This commitment has earned global acclaim, including multiple Forbes Five-Star ratings, consecutive titles as the Indian Ocean’s No. 1 Resort by the Condé Nast Traveller Readers’ Choice Awards, and recognition as Asia’s No. 1 Resort and World’s No. 7 by Travel + Leisure in 2025.
General Manager Shifaz Hassan said, “This milestone is deeply meaningful for us. Joali Maldives has grown from a vision into one of the leading names in the region’s ultra-luxury space, a testament to our team’s dedication and the loyalty of our guests.”
Marking its seventh anniversary on November 15, Joali Maldives hosted a day of celebrations featuring an afternoon tea and art experience with South African visiting artist Peni Petersen, followed by a sunset cocktail reception and beachfront feast.
