JA Manafaru

This was our first trip to the Maldives with our children, aged 15, 12, 6, and 3. We had heard mixed reviews from friends about Maldives and hotels, but after staying at this Ja Manafaru, I realized that I will definitely come back again. The hotel is located on a beautiful island surrounded by a stunning, vibrant reef full of marine life. We were truly impressed — we saw nurse sharks, giant turtles, dolphins, stingrays, and, of course, countless colorful fish. I would like to especially highlight the professionalism, efficiency, and kindness of our personal assistant, Mohamed. The entire hotel team made us feel very welcome and ensured that our stay was perfect. The variety of food and drinks was impressive and exceeded all expectations — especially considering that we were traveling with children of different ages. Adults also found the menu diverse and delicious. Every meal offered something new, and everything we tried was excellent. It was clear that every staff member truly cared about making guests happy — from the chef who came out to talk to guests, to the polite waiters, to the housekeeping staff who kept everything spotless, and the spa team offering many treatments. It felt like being welcomed by one big family. The general manager personally greeted guests every day, paying close attention to the quality of service. During the first days, the hotel organized a complimentary excursion for guests. Everything was arranged perfectly — we snorkeled near a gorgeous reef, watched dolphins, had lunch on a private island, enjoyed massages while the kids rode jet skis and banana boats. Everything in this hotel is organized at the highest level. If you seek privacy — you’ll find it. If you want to relax — visit the spa. If you’re into marine adventures — there are great snorkeling trips. And if you love activities — there are jet skis, banana rides, and more. The hotel is absolutely worth its price, and I would gladly return. You can truly feel the warmth and care of the staff in every detail of your stay.

Thank-you everybody for making our stay special!☀️

We spent 12 unforgettable days in October at JA Manafaru, and it was simply the best hotel we have ever stayed in. From the very first moment, you don’t feel like a guest here – you feel like part of the family. 🏡 Accommodation We stayed in the Three Bedroom Island Residence, a dreamlike villa with its own private pool, spacious garden, direct beach access, and complete privacy. Every single detail is carefully thought out – from the luxurious interior to the little daily surprises and the impeccable cleanliness. Our floating breakfast in the private pool was a highlight for the whole family. 🤵‍♂️ Service & Staff A very special thank you goes to our private butler, Nuhaad – truly the best in the world! He anticipated every wish before we could even express it. His warmth, calm presence, and attentiveness made our stay absolutely perfect. The entire team – from the reception and housekeeping to the restaurant staff – was incredibly kind, professional, and genuinely heartfelt. You can feel that everyone here truly loves what they do. 🍽️ Dining The food was exceptional throughout. Whether at the Ocean Grill, during an Asian-style lunch, or at a romantic dinner on the beach – every meal was freshly prepared, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. One of our most magical moments was the candlelit dinner by the ocean, an evening we will never forget. 💍 Our Very Special Moment The absolute highlight of our stay was our wedding ceremony on a private island. Everything was organized to perfection – from the floral decorations to the music and the wedding cake. The sound of the waves, the sunset, and the genuine warmth of the people made this one of the most beautiful days of our lives. 🌊 Activities & Experiences Besides pure relaxation, we experienced unforgettable moments: A family dolphin-watching trip, exploring the colorful underwater world while snorkeling, and quiet walks along the powder-white beach under the palm trees – simply paradise. ❤️ Conclusion JA Manafaru is more than just a resort – it is a place full of heart, mindfulness, and perfection. We are deeply grateful for every moment, for the people who made it special, and for the memories we will carry forever. Final verdict: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5 A place you return to with your heart. Thank you, JA Manafaru – and especially, thank you, Nuhaad!

It was my second time visiting JA Manafaru, and I had an amazing time. I was immediately reminded of why this resort is among the greatest I have ever visited; everything about it, from the surroundings to the service, is simply top-notch. Every member of the management and staff team deserves praise for their professionalism, friendliness, and commitment. I felt completely at home because of the sincere smiles and concern that filled each interaction.

Highly recommend this resort in the Maldives! We truly felt immersed in the Maldivian culture, with something new to experience every single day. We came here for our honeymoon, and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime vacation. The food was excellent, the grounds were spotless, and the staff went above and beyond. Special thanks to Maahy, Rosa, Niroshan, Aiham, and Nizam for making our stay unforgettable!
