The escape to Jumeirah Olhahali Island begins with a whisper of glamour. Just a 55-minute speedboat ride or a swift 15-minute seaplane journey from Malé International Airport, guests are carried into a world where the everyday dissolves and island tranquillity takes centre stage. Set in the coveted North Malé Atoll, this all-villa enclave blends Mediterranean ease with the natural seduction of the Maldives, creating a retreat where luxury feels both effortless and exquisitely intentional.
Overwater Living Reimagined with Infinity Pools and Rooftop Terraces
Suspended above the lagoon, the Water Villas with Pools are the resort’s signature expression of indulgence. Each villa is an intimate hideaway with sweeping ocean views, direct access to the lagoon, and a shimmering 7-metre infinity pool that appears to merge with the horizon. The private rooftop terrace elevates the experience further—an open-air sanctuary for sunset rituals, midnight stargazing, or simply lingering in the warm Maldivian breeze.
The Ocean Villas channel the same elevated sensibility, but with an added hush of privacy. These villas are designed for guests who want serenity at every turn, surrounded by water, sky, and complete calm.
Meanwhile, the Lagoon Villas bring guests directly to the turquoise shallows. Steps lead from each deck into warm lagoon waters teeming with marine life, creating an instant playground for snorkellers who prefer to explore straight from their own villa.
Residences for the Luxury Traveller Who Wants It All
For travellers seeking space, seclusion, and statement-level luxury, Jumeirah Olhahali Island’s residences deliver.
The Two-Bedroom Water Residence offers an expansive 14.3-metre infinity pool and a rooftop terrace built for entertaining—perfect for families or small groups who want the freedom to gather without leaving their private, overwater world.
At the pinnacle of privacy sits the Three-Bedroom Olhahali Water Retreat, complete with a private dock, a dedicated gym, and its own sauna. It is a sanctuary within a sanctuary, crafted for guests who expect both absolute solitude and the freedom to live entirely at their own rhythm.
On the shore, the Beach Villa with Pool offers a postcard-perfect slice of the Maldives—white sand, lush foliage, and a sense of seclusion that feels entirely one’s own. The Two-Bedroom Beach Residence adds another layer of ease with elegant interiors and its own pool, while the Three-Bedroom Olhahali Beach Retreat is the island’s most indulgent beach address, ideal for families or groups who crave space without sacrificing serenity.
A Culinary Landscape Shaped by Sun, Sea, and Style
Dining at Jumeirah Olhahali Island is a journey through flavour, setting, and unmistakable sense of place.
At GLOW, international dishes unfold against a backdrop of shoreline views—light, elegant, and made for lingering.
Kayto blends Peruvian and Japanese influences with stylish precision, bringing Peruvian Nikkei cuisine to a chic, softly lit space where every dish feels crafted with intention.
Down on the beach, Shimmers channels Mediterranean and Greek coastal living, pairing vibrant dishes with the rhythm of the ocean and the effortless glamour of a beach club.
For moments between adventures, the Café Lounge offers light bites, coffee, and afternoon tea—an inviting pause wrapped in understated elegance.
Beyond the dining rooms, the resort curates a series of memorable island experiences: secluded sandbank breakfasts, private sunset picnics, bespoke yoga sessions, and relaxed beachside BBQs. Guests can explore the underwater world on a semi-submarine adventure or dive into creativity at the MURACA Art Studio, where workshops encourage them to craft their own island-inspired keepsakes.
Wellness Above the Waterline
Wellness at Talise Spa is an invitation to slow down. Set in serene overwater villas, the spa offers rejuvenating treatments framed by panoramic ocean views, where even the air seems to shift into a gentler pace.
A 24-hour fitness centre, complete with sweeping sea vistas, allows guests to work out to the rhythm of the waves. Spa-side saunas and dedicated yoga sessions cater to both deep relaxation and invigorating movement, ensuring guests leave with a renewed sense of clarity and balance.
Jumeirah Olhahali Island ultimately embodies the very best of the Maldives: privacy, beauty, and the kind of luxury that feels both polished and profoundly personal. Whether floating above the lagoon in a Water Villa with Pool, unwinding in a secluded Ocean Villa, or stepping off the deck of a Lagoon Villa into turquoise water, guests are wrapped in a rare blend of intimacy and indulgence. With refined dining, exceptional wellness, and curated island experiences, the resort promises a Maldivian escape shaped not just by service, but by pure, uninterrupted serenity in one of the world’s most extraordinary destinations.
