Sweet Synergy: JOALI Maldives Welcomes FIX’s Viral Chocolate in Historic Global Debut

03 July 2025

For luxury travelers and chocolate connoisseurs, JOALI Maldives has unveiled an irresistible collaboration. On July 2, 2025, the art-immersive resort became the first destination outside the UAE to showcase Dubai’s viral sensation, FIX Dessert Chocolatier. This partnership merges JOALI’s narrative-driven luxury with FIX’s boundary-pushing chocolate artistry, creating an unprecedented culinary experience in the Indian Ocean.

Why This Collaboration Is Revolutionary

• Global Debut: After captivating Dubai, FIX chose JOALI Maldives for its international launch, citing shared values of creativity and sensory storytelling. As FIX co-founder Sarah Hamouda explains: “It’s about sparking wonder and delivering delight in unexpected ways”.

• Art Meets Gastronomy: JOALI—renowned for interactive art installations and curated design—finds a perfect partner in FIX, whose chocolates are “edible works of art” featuring intricate layers and avant-garde textures.

• Exclusivity: JOALI remains the only location worldwide outside Dubai where guests can taste FIX’s creations.

The Chocolate Experience: Beyond Indulgence

The Original Dubai Chocolate: FIX’s cult-classic dessert, celebrated for its bold flavors and textural complexity.
"Time To Mango" (New for JOALI): A tropical-inspired chocolate bar blending mango compote, nostalgic childhood treats, and playful popping candy—crafted to evoke “warm breezes and Maldivian sunshine”.
