A landmark for glamour and sophistication, JOALI is one of the most luxurious resorts that you can find in the Maldives. Located on the island of Muravandhu, Raa Atoll, this island, surrounded by rich, cobalt blue and cyan waters consists of 73 thoughtfully designed extravagant villas, making this a serendipitous escape like no other. This stylish and diverse island caters to all needs and this is especially portrayed by their 2021 summer program for kids: A Summer of Discovery.

Calling out to all the little dreamers, explorers and creative superstars, JOALI has the best summer planned out for you! This island is inviting families to stay at the Maldives’ one and only art-immersive resort where young stars below the age of 12 would have days and nights filled with all types of exploration and adventure. These activities planned by JOALI involve a range of fun-filled, educational activities which is hosted by Muramas Kids Club, where the young guests will have the opportunity to try new ventures in the fields of culture, oceanography, environmental science, health, astronomy, sports and creative arts.

Not only would all the children coming to the island be well acquainted with the sparkling blue Indian Ocean magic, they would also discover the spectacle that exists beneath the ocean with the numerous activities that the resort has planned out about marine life. These engaging interactions, hosted by JOALI’S Resident Marine Biologist, Ida-Wenona Hendricks, would provide young visitors with the chance to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the ocean. And the best part? The children get to take part in guided snorkeling tours from which they would receive first hand view and experience of the exquisite wonders of the underwater world.

Furthermore, JOALI’s Resident Yoga and Holistic Teacher is said to facilitate yoga sessions that will ensure that these young children deal with stress in healthy ways whilst also boosting their energy and relaxation. These sessions are also set to help promote self-care, self-esteem and body awareness through non competitive physical exercises such as asanas, mindful breathing exercises and basic yoga techniques. This summer camp of sorts is also going to get children to channel their energy into activities in a positive manner through their Tennis Academy. This will not only help improve their physicality but also assist in mental, emotional and social wellness.

JOALI's Summer Discovery Camp will also incorporate activities based on letting children express themselves in diverse forms of creative expression. Therefore, they have included a clay and ceramics arts class, allowing the young innovators to express themselves by bringing to life their imaginative illustrations. This burst of creativity can also be channeled by the island’s DJ Workshops which is also included in the summer programmes. These weekly sessions will provide basic instructions to disc jockeying, hands-on practice with beat-mixing, spinning and scratching so that children with the passion for music can learn new techniques. This summer programme also plans on introducing stargazing as part of the camp where the little ones can learn about the moon, constellations and planets from playing educational space-themed games. The area in which JOALI is located has little to no lights like the ones beaming in cities and thus they would gain an opportunity to explore the glittering Maldivian starry nights. A truly unparalleled experience. 

This Summer of Discovery for kids introduced by JOALI is by far one of the most exciting ventures focused on the youth. So, grab your sunscreen and flip-flops and wander into this excitement-filled adventure of a lifetime!
