JOALI BEING on Bodufushi in Raa Atoll is a wellbeing island rather than a beach resort with a treatment menu. Everything is organised around four pillars, mind, skin, microbiome and energy, with personal programmes, nutritionist-guided menus and a technology-free wellbeing zone. Villas on the beach and over the water have private pools, and the island is reached by seaplane. It suits adults who want a structured reset, and it is not a family resort except during its dedicated kids' retreat periods.
Editorial assessmentJOALI BEING is Sikovia's wellbeing island in the Maldives: more programme-driven and adult-focused than Soneva Fushi, Reethi Rah or Waldorf Astoria, and quieter than The Ritz-Carlton. Choose it for a structured reset rather than a classic beach holiday.
