JOALI Maldives

+ After our holiday in the Maldives was coming to an end, we decided to stop by Joali Maldives for one night on our way home, just to check out this magical place we had heard so much about. Where do I even begin… From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and introduced to the island by our amazing Jadugar, Raai. He made the orientation engaging and inspiring, and throughout our stay ensured everything felt effortless — always anticipating our needs and making things happen before we even had to ask. We were then taken to our water villa, which was spacious, very private, and cosy. A special thank you to Nawaf, the Rooms Division Manager, for making sure everything related to our villa and comfort was perfectly arranged, including our special requests. Very quickly we realised one night would not be enough, and we extended our stay for four more days. During our stay, we were invited to sunset cocktails with the management — one of the highlights. We met General Manager Sh

+ Where do I begin? This place is pure magic! A new level of luxury. Location: gorgeous! Rooms: so tastefully designed, attention to detail is extreme, hygiene outstanding, beautiful furniture, large private pool and direct turquoise sea access… it leaves nothing to wish for! The property: stunning! Extremely well kept, stunning architecture, 4 restaurants to chose from, bar, pool, art… it has it all! So far so very standard to be expected from any type of top end luxury resort. But here comes the twist: the staff. Let me repeat: THE STAFF! Every guest gets a personal butler. He will welcome you directly at the jetty, give you a tour of the property, organise your restaurant itinerary, arrange for a wide selection of cushions, bring you to your villa, have snorkelling gear ready in your size, be your Uber driver, and do the check-in/out for you in the villa. In our case, Raai was our personal angel, a true Mr. Magic! Nothing he didn’t make happen for us, no wish remained unanswered,

+ Joali was amazing, food was exceptional, water villas have a very nice design and are very specious. The outdoor private pools in the water villas are very big. Even the drinking water is subjected to double osmosis which was very important for me. Hotel was perfectly clean and the service was done with excellent to the smallest detail. The whole hotel crew at Joali was very nice and helpful. The overall hotel experience was fantastic. Our butler was Sholpan, very helpful and the best one in the whole resort. She fulfilled all our “whims” in a matter of minutes. Definitely will come back.

+ A magical vacation at Joali, Raa Atoll. The setting, the luxury sunset water villa, and amazing staff were 10+++! Highly recommend! You will be pinching yourself everyday thinking you are dreaming.

+ Our stay at Joali was truly unforgettable, and a big part of that was thanks to Hanchey, our amazing butler. From the moment we arrived, he took care of every detail with such genuine kindness and professionalism. He anticipated our needs before we even asked, always with a smile and so much care. Whether it was organizing special experiences, arranging last-minute requests, or simply checking in to make sure we were happy, he made our trip feel effortless and extra special. Joali is already a stunning place, but Hanchey made it feel like home. We are truly grateful for his dedication and warmth. Because of him, this trip will stay in our hearts forever. Highly recommend the hotel ,and if you’re lucky enough to have Hanchey as your butler, your stay will be extraordinary. 🌿✨

+ My wife and I had an incredible honeymoon at Joali Maldives, staying for 7 nights. It was truly the best experience we’ve ever had! The staff here is absolutely amazing - they go above and beyond to make you feel like royalty. The food is incredible, and all the servers and hostesses are so friendly. Utu was especially warm and welcoming. They even remember your name and what activities you did the day before! Our meal at Saoke was the best sushi and sashimi we’ve ever had! They truly care about you and make you feel like family. Our butler, Shaanté, was especially exceptional. He was always there to help us with anything we needed, from new fins for snorkeling to a GoPro for our excursion. Every time we left our bungalow, the housekeeping crew would come by and make sure everything was tidy. The happy hours were amazing, and our bartender, Trevo, made the best watermelon margaritas or “Joagaritas” we’ve ever had! DJ Alisa knew how to set the mood with the perfect tunes, no matter if w
