Paradise ❤️

Liked: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 Shifaz, his Assistant Adam, as well as Nawaz and Anas. We kept seeing them throughout our stay, always attentive and making sure everything was perfect. Many other team members also contributed greatly, even if we didn’t catch all the names. The culinary experience was outstanding. Under the management of Alito, all four restaurants delivered at a high level. The variety and quality were impressive, and Baka was always nearby with great recommendations — thank you again for the special cocktails that you kindly offered to us. We also really enjoyed the dishes prepared by Sous Chef Gamze, especially the shashlik — so tasty that we even asked for the recipe. Sommelier James was excellent — knowledgeable and attentive. Overall, the experience felt warm, personal, and almost family-like. We would wholeheartedly recommend this magical place and will surely come back. See you soon, Joali family! Until then, Maria

Disliked:Honestly, we didn't encounter anything we didn't like. Everything was thoughtfully arranged and exceeded our expectations. We are very thankful !

Heaven on earth does exist after all..!

Liked: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, he REALLY made the difference. Thank you so much for all your efforts! Delivered in such a distinguished and calm way. The level of hospitality, service, warmth, smiles, competence, skill, attention to detail, passion and friendliness is breathtaking. Joali manages to take hospitality to a whole new level. Not a single request or wish we had was ever met with a ‚no’. The entire management team invests hours of their time every day to look after the guests. They connect with you. Get to know you. Remember any preference you might mention during a conversation. And use it to please you, in such a unique, thoughtful and elegant way. Just when you thought there is no way the previous attention can possibly be topped… they find another overwhelming gesture stealing your hearts! You don’t feel like a customer on this island, but like a family member. Absolutely everybody is 100% committed to the guests happiness, every day, every second of your stay. Special thanks to Shifaz, Julien, Alito, Kapil, Gandip, Petitbrahim, Uchu, Mustafa, Tchau, Ali (Groot) and everybody else I failed to mention for making this stay so special, so unforgettable, and so close to our hearts. Thank you! Thank you for every extra mile you did every day! The other really outstanding point to mention is the cuisine. All 4 restaurants are top notch in their own right. We expected excellent food, but were still surprised to the upside. Head Chef Kapil and his team are all incredibly talented, passionate and industry leaders. Only the very best will barely be good enough. The quality, the sophistication, the wide variety of flavours, every single dish we had was a masterpiece. We experienced special meals especially prepared for us, according to our taste and preferences, prepared with love in an overwhelming quality. Gamse, Jarnail, and all the other team members: bravo for the level you have achieved! And thanks so much for spoiling us with your creations during our entire stay! Last but not least… Ebuti (Peti‘brahim), part of the Tuhu (levante cuisine) team. Your kindness and endless efforts to spoil us rotten will always remain in our memories. Thank you so much! In every luxury hotel, the experience is normally over when leaving the entry door. Not at Joali! After leaving the island, we were pampered and fully looked after in their own airport lounge waiting for our long haul connection flight. A nice touch and truly enjoyable. They will take care of your luggage, serve you fine food and drinks, and you can freshen up with a shower. Things like this really make the difference. To cut it short: the Joali team have created something magic on this island. Yes - it comes at its price tag, but once you get to experience it, you’ll simply fall in love - we sure did! So much indeed we will not even research alternatives when returning to the Maledives. Congrats to the entire team for creating such a top-end luxury experience. We will happily watch you grow further and firmly establish your name as a benchmark luxury brand in the hospitality business. Inevitably. Insider tips: book directly with the hotel, not via an operator. It has a multitude of perks coming with it. Also: get the half board option! Even if the pricing logic seems odd… you’ll thoroughly enjoy and appreciate it! Thank me later.

Unforgettable experience at Joali

Liked: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.
