BEING THERE

The newest resort in the Maldives is positioning itself as the archipelago’s first “nature-immersive wellbeing retreat.” But what does that mean? For starters, Joali Being (joali.com/joalibeing) has been built from the ground up using biophilic design principles that unite indoors and outdoors. Guests can also expect tailored wellbeing programs designed around the four pillars of mind, skin, microbiome, and energy, with an expert team of therapists, naturopaths, and movement specialists on hand to guide you through what promises to be a transformative journey. Set on a secluded island in the Raa Atoll, the resort also offers plenty of indulgences, from its 68 butler-serviced beach and water villas to its nutritious and delicious cuisine.
