In celebration of our long-standing partnership with JOALI Maldives, we have reimagined two of our heritage pieces exclusively for the art-immersive resort. Our eponymous frescobol bat is emblazoned with Joali’s distinctive emblem on one face, the island’s native Hibiscus flower and Monstera leaves, and on the other the JOALI logo is heatstamped. Our iconic calçadão-inspired Copacabana print is reimagined exclusively through JOALI's peachy palette on our most popular swim silhouette, Rio.
Perched amongst ring-like coral reefs lies Muravandhoo Island, home to the iconic JOALI Maldives luxury retreat. Composed exclusively of 73 villas, each with its very own idyllic view, six dining experiences and a plethora of activities for all tastes, each moment spent at JOALI is entirely unique. From all its qualities, it is the commitment to the Joy of Living that has inspired the products in this collaboration; particularly its integration of natural beauty with immersive artistic experiences.
Nestled among the breathtaking flora and fauna lies Maison de JOALI, the island’s resort boutique, containing local objet d’art, works created in the island’s Art Studio, and our proprietary frescobol beach bats and swim shorts.
The island is home to a curated collection of artworks, installations and architectural pieces. With artists hailing from all over the globe, some bring their masterpieces from their international studios to evoke the joy of the island, while others build directly on-site, using the natural resources of the local flora and fauna. Abstract coral reef towers, gigantic raffia manta ray tree houses, hand-woven tapestries and colourful mosaics decorate the villas, jungles and shores.
“Here at JOALI Maldives, art isn’t just meant to be seen — it is meant to be experienced. The Island of Joy is home to pieces that capture and conserve nature, both materially and visually. Our distinctive natural setting is imaginatively reflected in the artworks through motifs, shapes, colours, materials and craftsmanship.”
