JA Manafaru

We spent part of our honeymoon at JA Manafaru and it was absolute paradise. The island is stunning, the villas are beautiful, and the food was excellent, but what really stood out was the team. Our servers Rosa, Shaad, Mautch, Zhadi, Praveen, and Sudaaah made every meal special. The bartenders Chathura, Ibbe, Rapheal, and Imran mixed amazing drinks (the coconut sorbet martinis were a favourite), and chefs Musa and Cipriano created unforgettable dishes. Snorkelling on the reef was incredible. We saw eagle rays, turtles, nurse sharks and black tip reef sharks. The sushi was the best I have ever had and husband loved eating fresh reef fish each day. The beaches were never crowded, and our overwater villa was perfect. From start to finish, the staff made our honeymoon truly memorable.

A wonderful hotel on a wonderful island. Natural beauty is combined with comfort. All the hotel buildings look great in the landscapes of the island! They monitor the environment and desalinate the water themselves. The hotel also has wonderful staff, all the workers are very attentive and caring. Special thanks to our assistant Rizam ❤️ There are also many entertainments on the island, so you will definitely not be bored. We recommend it for a family vacation 🫂🌊

We had a wonderful and amazing time. From the time we stepped off of the sea plane Razim and the rest of the staff greeted us ad made us feel at home. They gave us top notch treatment. Our room was cleaned 2x a day and sheets rolled down for bed at night. They were Johnny on the spot everytime. The chef and restaurant staff was amazing. Rooms were were top notch. This was a place you could get much R n R on a solo trip or just chill with your boo. I definitely recommend coming to this place. -Loletia and Ed-

We came here between 16 Aug and 21 Aug as a family of 4 adults and 2 children of 3 generations. We absolutely loved this beautiful paradise! JA's team looked after us from the minute when we stepped out of the Male airport, all the way through until our departure from the Male airport, including seaplane to JA, welcome drinks & snacks, all meals, sunset & dolphin trip (with drinks & snacks) where we were so lucky to see not just a few but tens of dolphins, snorkeling equipment, bike riding, private movie @ the Movie Room, speedboat to the Hanimaadhoo airport (with drinks & snacks), flight back to the Male airport, lounge @ the Male airport. JA ticked all the boxes for us and certainly lived up to (if not beyond) our expectations of the Maldives: white sandy beaches and coconut palm trees, turquoise clear sea water, shaded family-friendly pool, spacious water villas with its own pool and glass on the floor to watch fish among all other amenities, lots of greens and not too many people. There was so much more at JA, such as a gym, a football court, a tennis court, a badminton court, a baby pool, a soft play area, a yoga studio, a chill-out zone with a table tennis table, a pool table, PS4 and board games, etc. With 4 distinctively unique and picturesque restaurants (seafood, Japanese, Italian, Asian fusion) to choose from, the food was second to none! We also attended 3 special weekly events: Asian street food night, Maldivian food night, Cocktail party with free drinks & fruit chocolate fondue. Our last evening meal was Teppanyaki, which was a perfect send-off for our perfectly personalised holiday! We would strongly recommend JA to anyone!

My stay at JA Manafaru was truly unforgettable. From the moment I arrived, the staff welcomed me with warmth and genuine hospitality, always ready to assist with anything I needed. The dining experiences were exceptional, with each meal exceeding expectations in both quality and variety. My room was beautifully appointed, spacious, and designed for ultimate comfort. I am grateful for the care and attention given throughout my stay and will cherish these memories for years to come.
