The resort’s new private sandbank debuts with an exclusive menu of experiences for couples,  culinary enthusiasts, wellness-seekers and more.  

Jumeirah Olhahali Island redefines Maldivian seclusion  with exclusive private sandbank experiences, just a five-minute speedboat ride from the  resort. Set against the backdrop of untouched shores, the new programme of experiences  invites guests to craft their own island escape, from adrenaline-fueled adventures to tranquil  wellness rituals and bespoke celebrations.  

Ocean Adventures Beyond the Horizon 

Serving as a launch point for exhilarating marine discoveries, the sandbank invites guests to  explore the wonders of the Maldives. Snorkelling excursions reveal vibrant coral gardens teeming with tropical fish, while thrill-seekers can ride the waves on a jet ski, pausing to take in the vast seascape before diving into crystalline waters. For those drawn to the depths of the  sea, a guided scuba experience unveils the rich biodiversity of the Maldivian reefs, while kitesurfing sessions offer an adrenaline-fuelled dance with the wind above the shimmering expanse of the Indian Ocean. 

Celebrations by the Sea  

From romantic proposals to intimate wedding ceremonies, and milestone events, the  sandbank transforms into a venue where the ocean serves as both stage and witness. Bespoke  touches - including live band performances, exquisite floral arrangements, and underwater  photography sessions – ensure each celebration is a moment to remember.  

Dining in Serenity 

Culinary connoisseurs can savour gourmet delights with a sandbank picnic, indulging in  curated delicacies such as beef tortilla wraps, smoked salmon sandwiches, and freshly baked  vanilla bean cheesecake, surrounded by endless shades of blue. As the day transitions to night,  the ‘Sunset to Stars Culinary Journey’ presents and intimate barbecue dinner beneath a starlit  sky, where a private chef works on a personalised menu tableside, for an unforgettable dining  experience. 

Wellness Beneath the Maldivian Sky 

For those seeking balance and renewal, the ‘Renewal Under the Stars’ experience unfolds as  the sky deepens into twilight, with the rhythmic hush of the waves and a soft ocean breeze  carrying the scent of salt and frangipani. A 90-minute Balinese or deep-tissue massage,  enriched with nourishing vegan Sodashi oils, melts away tension, followed by a meditative  Tibetan sound healing session, where the gentle vibrations of singing bowls harmonise with  the lull of the tide. 

As dawn paints the horizon in soft hues of gold and rose, the ‘Oceanic Balance Retreat’ invites  guests to reconnect with mind and body. Guided by the resort’s resident yogi, each private  session flows with the rhythms of the sea. Breathing in the fresh ocean air, guests move through  yoga postures designed to energise or restore, followed by guided meditation that invites  stillness, presence, and deep connection to the natural world.
