The result: a ground-breaking retreat where guests are cocooned in a sense of renewal and re-connection with nature.

From the moment guests set foot on Joali Being, they are greeted by the landmark welcome jetty, a modern-day reiteration of traditional Maldivian architecture. Whimsical wooden screens and rhythmic thatched roofs set the tone for the immersive experience that awaits.

Throughout the resort, Autoban’s meticulous attention to detail is evident, with organic textures and handcrafted elements echoing the island’s natural splendour, while stunning pieces curated from a medley of high-end furniture collections by contemporary outdoor furniture studio Kettal, furnish both the interiors and outdoor living spaces.

Central to Joali Being’s allure are its 68 exclusive guest villas, each flaunting a private pool and carefully-curated interiors. Autoban’s design aesthetic permeates every corner, with transparent divisions and fluid architecture blurring the lines between indoors and outdoors. Softly curving roofs and hexagonal rattan columns evoke the organic beauty of the ocean.

The resort’s communal areas are equally inviting, with terraced pavilions overlooking the shimmering waters of the Indian Ocean. Under striking thatched roofs, guests can revel in social and dining experiences surrounded by lush greenery and unobstructed ocean views. The interactive dining space, with its dramatic undulating roof inspired by beach textures, offers a convivial atmosphere nonpareil.

THROUGHOUT THE RESORT, AUTOBAN’S METICULOUS ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS EVIDENT, WITH ORGANIC TEXTURES AND HANDCRAFTED ELEMENTS ECHOING THE ISLAND’S NATURAL SPLENDOUR, WHILE STUNNING PIECES CURATED FROM A MEDLEY OF HIGH-END FURNITURE COLLECTIONS BY CONTEMPORARY OUTDOOR FURNITURE STUDIO KETTAL, FURNISH BOTH THE INTERIORS AND OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES.
