JOALI BEING

Anchored in zen from the minute we stepped off the sea plane and on to the ‘Gate of zero’ as Joali Being aptly calls it. There is so much of JB we are taking back home with us - from endless uninterrupted views of the sea & sky, a levelled infinity pool which reflects the stars & Maldivian sunsets, discovery of sound healing, food which was made deliciously conscious with JB’s four pillars, well-being at the thoughtfully designed Areka, Aktar & Kaashi. While the focus is to evoke a sense of well-being, everything was optional at JB, be it a TV in the villa to alcoholic amenities upon arrival & in the villa, to indulgent food at the F&B outlets and much more — making it the perfect choice for even those who aren’t very big on the well-being aspect. I’m hopeful to return soon. Thank you to the entire JB team with a special shout-out to our Jadugar Faris, our Villa host Faidhaan, the F&B team - Devi, Hasan, Saif, Surendra, Evita, Yusuf, Henry, our wellness connoisseurs - Marina, Sintha, Pima, Dr Shetty, Dr Elise, Veronica and to Philip, Fred & Ayushi for making our stay extraordinary.

Our recent stay at the resort was unfortunately very disappointing. Right from the beginning, we experienced uncomfortable moments—particularly with our assigned butler, Nuaran, who made us feel uneasy by subtly and repeatedly hinting for a tip. To make matters worse, the bathtub in our villa had visibly rusted water, which was both unhygienic and unacceptable for a property that claims to offer a premium experience. The most distressing part of our stay was discovering that we had lost $1,500 from our handbag. We noticed this as we were preparing to leave the resort. We immediately informed our butler and requested that he check and update us, but we did not receive any follow-up or support regarding the matter. This experience has left us extremely disappointed and disheartened. For a resort of this reputation, we expected better service, integrity, and accountability. We hope management takes these issues seriously to prevent other guests from going through the same.

We stayed in beach Villas which is warm and comfortable, very relaxed. the restaurant can do customized catering service, their hosts are very friendly, they greetings us every morning breakfast time and know our preferences. Spa and Yoga must be the best in Maldives, and if you like Wellness and relaxing holiday, JOALI BEING must be the best choice for you!!!Thanks again to the hosts there, Especially our butler Laamey make our stay so remarkable . Also thanks to Ayushi, She Just amazing, gave us a lot of professional introductions and nice suggestions, her smile let us still remember. Wish to see JOALI BEING next time !
