An art-filled island in Raa Atoll, 45 minutes by seaplane, with a pool in every villa, a Japanese restaurant over the water and a treehouse shaped like a manta ray.
JOALI Maldives is on Muravandhoo in Raa Atoll, a 45-minute seaplane flight north of the airport. It calls itself an art-immersive resort: works by international artists and local artisans are spread across the island, and the arrival jetty is shaped like a manta ray. It holds One MICHELIN Key (2026) and a Forbes Travel Guide five-star rating, and every stay has a dedicated Jadugar, JOALI's word for a butler.
All 73 villas and residences have a private pool. The Water Villas with Pool (240 m² including the deck) are the entry point; Luxury Water Villas and Luxury Sunset Water Villas add a living room and a library, and the beach villas run from 680 to 865 m² including their gardens. Two-bedroom villas, two three-bedroom residences and a four-bedroom beach residence for up to 11 guests suit families and groups.
There are five places to eat and drink: Vandhoo for Southeast Asian, Chinese and Indian food at breakfast and dinner, Bellinis for Italian fine dining, Saoke, an overwater Japanese restaurant by the architect Noriyoshi Muramatsu with sushi and teppanyaki, TUH'U for Levantine food on the sand, and Mura Bar by the pool, with a whisky and cigar lounge. There's also a wine cellar, a chocolate and ice-cream shop, private dinners in the Manta Treehouse, a spa run on the JOALI BEING model, the Muramas Kids Club for ages 1 to 12 and a dive centre with 38 sites nearby.
Good to know
It's expensive, at close to $2,900 a night for two with half board, and the seaplane is the only practical way in: by boat the trip takes six to eight hours. The resort runs on 'island time', an hour ahead of Malé.

Getting there
Seaplane · 45 min
A 45-minute shared seaplane flight from JOALI's private lounge at Velana International Airport, or a private charter on request. Seaplanes fly in daylight only, so international flights need to land between 6am and 3.30pm.
