JOALI BEING has announced the appointment of Frédéric Marty as Resort Manager.
Having grown up with a Catalan grandmother who ran a hotel restaurant in Palames, Spain, Frederic naturally decided to pursue a career in the hospitality industry. He began his career as a commissary waiter at the Roca Brothers’ 3-star Michelin restaurant in Girona. Originally from France, Frederic worked at the legendary Hôtel de Crillon in Paris.
In London, he worked with Michelin-starred chef James Atherton at Pollen Street Social and was restaurant manager at London’s Town Hall Hotel, as well as wine director and general manager at Pop-Up, before going on to become beverage director at the Dorchester Collection.
Frederick recently worked as Food & Beverage Director at Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay. He is excited to take up this new role as Resort Manager at JOALI BEING and says the wellbeing island is a reflection of his lifestyle. He is a marathon runner, yoga master and meditation enthusiast.
Opening in 2021, JOALI BEING is the first wellbeing island in the Maldives, offering a transformative experience of self-discovery and renewal that is personalized to the guest’s current situation and results-driven. Built on the principles of biophilic design, nature is at the heart of life at JOALI BEING, the island is immersed in nature and fully committed to responsible travel – the path to true “weightlessness”. This unique wellbeing island has a total of 68 exclusive guest villas with pools, consisting of 33 beach villas and 35 overwater villas. With 13 categories to choose from, guests can choose from 1, 2, 3 and 4 bedroom villas and residences. Offering guests unparalleled expertise on ancient Eastern and modern Western philosophy, a dedicated team of naturopaths, therapists and movement experts will provide guests with elemental therapies and healing experiences in unique transformational spaces such as KAASHI (a hydrotherapy hall offering watsu and aufguss saunas), Turkish hammam and salt inhalation chamber for halotherapy. To invite families to enjoy a multi-generational wellness holiday, JOALI BEING recently unveiled B’Kidult, a new zone for multi-generational play with specially curated offerings to inspire young minds and spirits.
