The JOALI experience

JOALI Maldives is an upscale 5-star private-island resort on Muravandhoo Island in the Raa Atoll, reached by a 45-minute seaplane from Male or by private charter. The property has 73 beach and overwater villas, the majority with private pools, set around a private island within one of the largest and deepest atolls…

Getting there

45 min seaplane from MLE

JOALI is reached by seaplane (45 min) from Velana International Airport (MLE) in Raa Atoll.

Daylight-only seaplane operations (06:00–15:30) mean late-arriving long-haul flights may require an overnight in Malé before continuing — Resortlife coordinates the full air-and-sea chain when you book through us.
