Hotel information
Kick back on the pristine, white-sand beach and soak up the island sunshine, seek shade in a luxurious cabana, or head into the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. A range of water-based activities includes waterskiing, speed boats and yacht excursions, while diving and snorkelling sessions are led by expert marine biologists, allowing you to learn more about the glorious ocean wildlife around you.
The range of restaurants here is truly fantastic, offering something for every pallet and taste. Vandhoo serves South-East Asian, Chinese, Levantine and Mediterranean cuisine alongside handpicked wines, while the Japanese restaurant offers a menu of sake, sushi and teppanyaki, accompanied by remarkable views.
The charming Italian restaurant features homemade limoncello and artisan pasta, perfect before a delicious homemade treat from the chocolate and ice cream store.
Her Kitchen offers an immersive cookery experience, during which you can create local recipes with maestro chefs, while The Table of Joy emphasises the Joali tradition of sharing, offering an exquisite banquet over a long table. The Mura Bar, meanwhile, presents exotic drinks and a programme of live performances, watched from the unique infinity pods.
As for the little ones, they will enjoy a stay filled with fun and discovery.

Responsible luxury is an important aspect for Joali. The hotel has worked passionately to keep this promise since arriving on the island, implementing a range of meaningful sustainability changes. Wellness and well-being are promoted for all through empowering communities to take control of their own health through education and partnerships. And by partnering with local and global conservation organisations, Joali helps to protect the oceans. The culinary team crafts specialities with locally caught fish and seafood, rainwater is harvested for gardening and a pilot project is launched to increase the use of solar energy. Due to all these initiatives, the resort is now EarthCheck Silver Certified.
