JOALI BEING appoints Frederic Marti as Resort Manager

JOALI BEING has announced the appointment of Frederic Marti as the Resort Manager.

Frederic naturally decided to pursue a career in the hospitality industry after growing up with his Catalan grandmother who ran a hotel restaurant in Palamés, Spain. He started as a commis waiter for a 3-star Michelin restaurant by the Roca Brothers in Girona. Hailing from France, Frederic had contributed to the legendary “Hétel de Crillon” palace in Paris.

In London, he had worked with Michelin star chef James Atherton in Pollen Street Social and as a Restaurant Manager in the Town Hall Hotel in London. He also served as a Wine Director and General Manager of a pop up, leading on to the Dorchester collection as a Beverage Director.

Frederic most recently worked at the Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay as the Food and Beverage Director. He is extremely happy to take on this new journey as Resort Manager at JOALI BEING, describing the wellbeing island as a place that reflects his lifestyle. He is marathon runner, yogi, and an aficionado of meditation.
