JOALI BEING
“JOALI BEING is a wellbeing retreat unlike any other in the world; it is a transformative destination aimed to inspire and ignite the very deepest of mindful connections to one’s self, one another, and one’s environment by enhancing our relationship with the surrounding natural world, our bodies and our minds. Every element of this island works together to bring to life specialized spaces, opportunities, and unique moments that lend themselves to a vast array of possibilities. The magic of JOALI BEING is that no story is previously written and no itinerary previously set, rather, it is a place where all visitors are welcome, invited, and encouraged to pave the way for their own journey of self-discovery and renewal, enabling guests to return home feeling uplifted and inspired.”
Özgür Cengīz, General Manager at JOALI BEING
As a dedicated, immersive, and interactive wellbeing retreat, JOALI BEING serves as the beginning of a transformative journey, on which seekers are invited to reunite with themselves and celebrate the wisdom of nature to discover true “weightlessness.”
JOALI BEING’s offerings draw on both modern science and long-honoured traditions that enable guests to be met where they are and further guided on a journey of self-discovery and renewal, all while savouring the joy of the here and now. A dedicated expert team of naturopaths, therapists and movement experts will work with guests every step during one’s stay to help set intentions, nurture with empathy, and co-create moments of wonder and transcendence.
THE FOUR PILLARS OF JOALI BEING
At the centre of the retreat’s curated offerings and transformative experiences lie the Four Pillars of JOALI BEING, which were created in conjunction with a Professor at Oxford, and are used as a guide to personalizing each individual’s journey to transcendence, self-discovery and renewal:
● Mind: Cultivate contentment and peace of mind through sound therapy and mind and body practices
● Microbiome: Form a deeper understanding of the connection between body, mind and nutrition while building eating habits around the body’s circadian rhythm
● Skin: Illuminate the skin with rejuvenating therapies that draw equally from timeless rituals and the world’s most advanced research
● Energy: Rebalance the nervous system and optimize energy flow through intelligent movement practices and restorative therapies.
JOALI BEING features unique transformational spaces that allow guests to immerse in elemental therapies and healing experiences. Nature is at the centre of life at JOALI BEING, with the retreat being completely committed to nature immersive and responsible travel.
Having officially opened its doors in November 2021, JOALI BEING has already firmly established itself on Bodufushi in the Maldives and is on a mission to inspire natural and thoughtful ways to discover the true "joy of living"
