For what it’s worth to anyone that may be contemplating booking JOALI… I personally NEVER do reviews of resorts I stay at, until now of course, because in this circumstance—it’s so justified. Let me also state, as to place this review into context for anyone reading it, that I have travelled to 36 countries and visited over 400 destinations, staying at many high-end luxury resort property groups during my travels throughout the world, brands like—Aman, Soneva, Six Senses, One&Only, Four Seasons, Mandarin Oriental, Shangri-La, Waldorf Astoria, Conrad, Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, and other 5-star resorts, yet never have I experienced the attention to minuscule details as I had at JOALI. We visited this haven during the middle and later part of December 2022, and upon arrival to their stunning seaplane jetty we were immediately greeted with a sense of what would continue until we finally departed… “unparalleled service and sublime luxury set within a tropical island oasis”. As to get a good appreciation for their array of accommodations during our stay we got the opportunity to try three different styled villas: 1st: 2 Bedroom Sunset Luxury Overwater Villa (Villa# 70) 2nd: Luxury Beach Villa (Villa# 20 - south side of island, near spa) 3rd: Beach Villa (Villa# 14 - north side of island with much more private beach with powder white sand and turquoise waters for swimming, in fact, our favorite within the beach villa category).

In addition, absolutely nothing looks rundown on this island, which unfortunately (even after a few years) can be evident in many other high-end luxury resorts within the Maldives. But where JOALI really set themselves apart to all other resorts I’ve stayed at, was within all the finer details they provided within their sublime villa spaces for you to enjoy, along with the exceptional service from every member of their entire JOALI team. Regarding these extra details found in each villa, I’m not talking just about basic essentials that should be found in all high-end properties like; cocktail bars, wine fridges, snacks, robes, welcome and bathroom amenities, etc., …but far beyond this like providing electric blenders, actual espresso machines, electric milk frothier (for lattes and cappuccinos), to styling flat irons (which my wife loved). Not least to mention, the bathroom amenities lotions and creams they do provide are beautiful on the skin and the scents… divine to the nose. And robes, not just one, but two per person—one which is fluffy and cozy and the other a sheer l
