In an exciting new partnership that blends artistry with indulgence, JOALI Maldives has become the first destination outside the United Arab Emirates to introduce the globally admired FIX chocolate, an artisanal creation by the Dubai-based luxury dessert brand FIX Dessert Chocolatier. The collaboration began on 2 July 2025, marking a new chapter in the culinary offerings of the art-immersive island resort and offering guests a truly unique tasting experience under the Maldivian sun.
JOALI Maldives, nestled in the unspoiled Raa Atoll and surrounded by crystal-clear waters and white sandy beaches, is renowned for redefining luxury through storytelling, curated design, and immersive art. The partnership with FIX further reinforces the resort’s commitment to celebrating creativity across all forms from architecture and sculpture to gastronomy.
Guests visiting JOALI Maldives can now enjoy the cult-favourite FIX chocolate, hand-crafted in Dubai and transported with care to the island. Known for its rich layers, bold textures, and contemporary flair, FIX has captivated dessert lovers across the globe. This is the first time the creation is being offered internationally, underlining the brand’s trust in JOALI’s refined platform for delivering bespoke guest experiences.
The latest FIX innovation, a tropical-inspired chocolate bar titled Time To Mango, makes its exclusive debut at the resort. Infused with the sun-kissed flavours of mango and complemented by playful popping candy, the bar evokes a sense of joyful nostalgia and the carefree essence of island life. Each bite is designed to recall warm breezes, golden light, and childhood memories all wrapped in sophisticated artisanal craftsmanship.
The new dessert offering is seamlessly woven into various curated touchpoints throughout the resort, including the JOALI airport lounge, the island’s whimsical ice cream shop, bespoke in-villa amenities, and select evening turn-down services. Each chocolate piece is not only a culinary treat but also a visual and sensory experience – echoing JOALI’s philosophy of “art meets life.”
“For us, it has always been about more than flavour,” said Sarah Hamouda, spokesperson for FIX Dessert Chocolatier. “Seeing our creation at JOALI Maldives, where beauty and storytelling are a part of everyday life, feels serendipitous. It’s about sparking wonder, stirring nostalgia, and delivering something delightfully unexpected.”
Semiha Askin, Global Director of Sales and Marketing at JOALI, shared the resort’s vision for this collaboration: “At JOALI, we celebrate art in all its forms from sculpture and architecture to culinary mastery. Teaming up with FIX Dessert Chocolatier allows us to extend this philosophy into the realm of artisanal sweets. Their chocolate is not only exquisite in taste but also in spirit – an experience our guests will treasure, one bite at a time.”
This collaboration aligns perfectly with JOALI Maldives’ brand identity. Often described as the Indian Ocean’s first art-immersive luxury resort, JOALI is home to 73 spacious over-water and beach villas, each offering refined elegance, modern design, and a personal Jadugar (a Dhivehi term meaning ‘skilled magician’) to cater to guests’ every need.
Prices for a Water Villa with Pool at JOALI Maldives start from USD 2,928 per night, based on two guests sharing on a bed and breakfast basis.
Beyond opulent accommodations, the resort showcases an impressive sustainability commitment, innovative dining concepts, and personalized wellness journeys. Guests also have access to JOALI BEING Cure, a curated wellness experience introduced in partnership with the resort’s sister property, JOALI BEING, the Maldives’ pioneering wellbeing island.
By integrating FIX’s avant-garde dessert artistry into its culinary offerings, JOALI Maldives continues to push the boundaries of luxury travel and hospitality. This union highlights the resort’s dedication to delivering exceptional and inspiring experiences that combine local culture, international craftsmanship, and emotional connection – making it a must-visit destination for discerning travellers seeking indulgence, creativity, and the joy of discovery.
