In a groundbreaking collaboration that marries luxury travel with artisanal confectionery, JOALI Maldives has partnered with Dubai-based FIX Dessert Chocolatier to offer guests an unprecedented chocolate experience starting July 2, 2025. This exclusive arrangement marks the first time FIX’s legendary The Original Dubai Chocolate will be available outside the United Arab Emirates.
The partnership represents a fusion of culinary innovation and immersive luxury, bringing together FIX’s renowned creativity and JOALI’s commitment to extraordinary guest experiences. At the heart of this collaboration is the debut of “Time To Mango” – a revolutionary chocolate bar that captures the essence of tropical indulgence.
This new chocolate creation is a sensory masterpiece, blending tropical mango flavors with nostalgic childhood memories and an unexpected twist of popping candy. Encased in rich, carefully crafted chocolate, the bar promises a multi-sensory journey that epitomizes FIX’s innovative approach to dessert.
FIX co-founder Sarah Hamouda explains the collaboration’s deeper significance: “This isn’t just about chocolate – it’s about creating moments of wonder and unexpected delight. JOALI Maldives provides the perfect canvas for our culinary storytelling, allowing us to transform a simple dessert into an immersive art experience.”
Guests will encounter FIX’s artisanal chocolates throughout the resort’s luxurious spaces, including the private airport lounge, artisanal ice cream shop, in-villa amenities, and even during evening turndown services. Each piece is meticulously hand-crafted in Dubai and transported to create an edible work of art under the Maldivian sun.
Semiha Askin, Global Director of Sales and Marketing at JOALI, emphasized the resort’s artistic philosophy: “We view art as a holistic experience that extends beyond visual mediums. Our partnership with FIX Dessert Chocolatier allows us to elevate culinary arts, offering our guests a truly memorable gastronomic journey.”
This collaboration represents a significant milestone for FIX, marking its first international placement. JOALI Maldives becomes the exclusive international destination to showcase the brand’s signature chocolates, highlighting a shared commitment to luxury, creativity, and innovative culinary experiences.
Situated in one of the world’s most magnificent atolls, JOALI Maldives offers 73 elegantly designed beach and over-water villas. Each villa is accompanied by a personal Jadugar – a “skilled magician” who ensures an unparalleled guest experience. The resort stands as a beacon of sustainability, immersive programming, and exceptional wellness offerings.
