CULINARY ARTS

FLOW, is the vibrant and open-plan, interactive dining space featuring three signature kitchens. Plantae offers vegetarian and vegan cuisine, Su serves ocean-to-table pescatarian fare, and B’Well features a signature JOALI BEING menu, including a selection of Earth-to-Table meals. For sunset seekers, there is Mojo – a tropical beach sanctuary located on a three-layered sundeck and is an ideal lunch and sundowner by the pool.

Culinary arts at JOALI BEING focus on an earth-to-table initiative, promising ingredient traceability and offering fresh, locally harvested foods that support small farms and are sustainably sourced.

SUSTAINABILITY
The Maldives is a unique destination with a fragile ecosystem. From the tiniest marine creature to the tallest palm tree, each living thing plays a vital role in the replenishing experience created by the islands. At JOALI BEING, the conservation of the natural environment is a priority and a privilege. Based on biophilic design principles, the retreat’s innovative landscaping and architecture embrace its incredible surroundings.
The island is home to one of three turtle conservation sanctuaries in Maldives which is developed by cooperating with Olive Ridley Project, as well as a Reef Restoration Project and a coral nursery. JOALI BEING is also collaborating with EarthCheck on several long-term sustainability initiatives, including a desalination water-bottling plant, a rainwater harvesting and greywater recycling system, a glass crusher and recycler, and a plant waste shredder for fertilising.
JOY OF BEING KIDS RETREAT

For Summer 2022 (until August 31), JOALI BEING is taking young guests on an adventure filled with joy, friendship and learning. At this unique retreat, young explorers will discover the best of nature and holistic wellbeing.

Guided by an expert team of marine biologists, naturopaths, nutritionists and chefs, children will have the opportunity to explore underwater life, pick up new skills, and practice different forms of movement and meditation. As they follow their curiosity and try out different activities, they will work together in teams and make new friends. Each day brings so many new possibilities – from yoga to herbology workshops, from making healthy ‘nice’ cream to learning about turtles.

Joy of BEING welcomes kids between the ages of 6 and 12 years.
