From immersive nature walks to underwater snorkelling adventures, Jumeirah Olhahali Island provides carefully curated activities to help guests explore the surrounding Maldivian beauty.

With environmental stewardship and sustainability at the forefront of his work, Wajeeh reduces the resort’s ecological imprint through the use of native plant species and eco-friendly procedures, which also work to minimise water usage.
