A fresh way to experience the Maldives
Win the chance to experience the idyllic new JOALI Maldives. Located on the island of Muravandhoo in the unspoilt Raa Atoll, two prize winners will have the chance to spend seven nights staying in a luxury beach or over water villa. Discover the joys of JOALI with its four fusion restaurants, in-room libraries, art studio and palm-fringed beaches for snorkelling, diving and watersports. You will experience a sunset Dhoni cruise, Maldivian cookery class and signature spa treatment at the resort’s ESPA spa, as well as a unique art immersive treehouse dining experience. The prize includes business class flights and private seaplane transfers to JOALI.
THE PRIZE
JOALI is set on the picture-perfect
Raa Atoll in the northern Maldives. It is one of the largest and deepest atolls in the world and the prize-winners can expect pristine white-sand beaches surrounded by brilliant blue waters and fringed by coconut palms. With a focus on sustainability, the resort was built around each and every tree and its elegant beach and water villas are the epitome of glamour with high ceilings, copper detailing and curated in-room libraries to inspire the imagination. Dotted around the resort are works of immersive art by celebrated young artists, many using recycled materials, as well as a dedicated Art Studio and wellbeing programme in collaboration with ESPA.
You will arrive at the resort in style with business-class flights from London and transfers on a private seaplane on the 45-minute flight from Male Airport before enjoying seven nights in a luxury beach or water villa, either hidden in lush greenery or overlooking the Indian ocean, with your own private infinity pool. On a half-board basis, explore the resort’s four superb restaurants with options including Japanese at SAOKE, fusion cuisine at Vandhoo with an impressive cellar of wines and vintages or a taste of Italy in the Maldives at Bellinis, or cool off at the Ice Cream Store, with sweet treats tailor-made in front of you.
