Joali: The Maldives’ First & Only Art Resort

Joali Maldives, the country’s first luxury and only art resort, was reviewed by Herdes Magazine with a score of full 10 out of a 10. “We could say that it is the only art museum located in paradise. Joali combines luxury and creativity in one place and unique in the Maldives.”

Joali’s focus on sustainability is reflected in its trail of eco-inspired artworks by up-and-coming international designers, including a giant Manta ray treehouse by Porky Hefer and an underwater mosaic coral museum by Misha Kahn.

The luxury resort’s sustainability also reflects in its commitment to saving the oceans with their own coral garden and nursery, all-natural, sealife-friendly shampoo and conditioner in rooms and a ban on non-recyclable and recycled plastic. Joali is also committed to helping empower women in the Maldives by hiring local women at all levels.

Joali Maldives is one of few independent luxury hotels in the region, designed and masterminded by one woman, Esin Gural Argat, one of Turkey’s most prominent entrepreneurs. Designed with astonishing attention to detail in collaboration with renowned designer Autoban, Esin’s feminine touches are reflected throughout; from rose gold taps and marble sinks to mini-libraries of female-inspired books in villas for poolside enlightenment.
