LOCATION
• Closest international airport - Velana (Male)
• Closest domestic airport - Ifuru
JOALI BEING resides on the secluded island of Bodufushi in Raa Atoll, an easy seaplane flight away from Male International Airport. All guests are accommodated in the well-appointed JOALI private lounge prior to their travel.
Raa Atoll’s unique topographical and geographical features make it rich and diverse in marine life. The outer ridge of the atoll is deep while the inner islands are on shallower plateaus, making conditions uniquely favourable for the proliferation of corals and fish. The western ridge of the atoll also lies close to one of the best deep water fishing sites in Maldives and makes the atoll an excellent place to see both reef and pelagic fish.
