SKY ABOVE, SAND BELOW, PEACE WITHIN.

The Maldives is an archipelago island nation that spans across the equator southwest of Sri Lanka and India. Comprised of 1,192 islands, with just 200 inhabited islands and under 500,000 citizens, the nation’s economy runs largely on tourism, and is a popular destination for guests from around the world.

The beauty of the Maldives resides above and below the water, with white sand beaches lined by palm trees, and around 2,500 coral reefs that are home to 1,000 species of fish. Snorkelers and divers will not only encounter the radiant colors of these soft and hard reefs but can also experience close encounters with large pelagics like manta rays and whale sharks.

These idyllic islands each offer specific strengths for every style of diving, snorkelling, watersports, and even epicurean delights, but all are well known for luxurious accommodations, impeccable service, and spectacular over-water bungalows. The Maldives are a honeymooners paradise but some resorts are also family friendly and cater for kids.

Hidden away in the northern reaches of the Maldives, Joali is situated on Muravandhoo Island in the Raa Atoll, one of the largest and deepest in the world. The English word “atoll” comes from atholhu, a Dhivehi term used by early geographers to describe the region’s distinctive ring-shaped coral reefs, wrapped around tranquil lagoons.

Joali is a luxury art-immersive resort on Muravandhoo Island in Raa Atoll, northern Maldives. The resort offers 73 private villas and residences, including both beach and overwater options, all with private pools and butler service.

Guests can enjoy a full spa, a variety of water sports, and a kids’ club, all within a sustainably minded setting.

The island offers great options for those who want to add excitement to their stay, including water skiing, tennis, archery, padel, snorkelling, diving, and chartering a speedboat.

The Maldives is home to over 5,000 reef manta rays, the largest known population in the world. Taking inspiration from these fascinating marine residents, the Manta Tree House is a favorite spot to relax with unending views of green and blue.
