The most Instagrammable villas in the Maldives

As the Maldives’ first official wellbeing resort, JOALI BEING brings all-round good vibes. The resort always goes the extra mile by making you feel healthy and happy both inside and out. Just remember the promotion of wellbeing is a way of life here, so to get the most out of your experience, consider limiting your screen time to just a few Instagram snaps a day. Sunset views should be enjoyed by the naked eye before being looked at through your phone screen.
