Leave all your cares behind and relax in the lap of luxury at the stunning JA Manafaru resort in the Maldives. The moment your feet touch the soft, white sands on the magnificent Manafaru Island you will be enchanted by the tropical scenery and sweeping views across the Indian Ocean. Perfect for a romantic escape, family holiday of a lifetime, or dream wedding, guests can enjoy a laid-back stay in the comfort of one of the resort’s bungalows, suites or villas, all featuring a private pool among the many other luxuries. While most travellers will choose to spend their days on the beach, drifting away on the sand or swimming in the shallows of the pristine lagoon, the resort also offers a number of activities to suit visitors of all ages. Any thrill-seekers can take the plunge on a snorkelling or scuba diving adventure, or enjoy a host of other water sports. Back on dry land, the resort offers a range of sports and activities for adults to take part in, with younger travellers able to join in the fun at the children’s clubs. Those feeling less active can revive their body and mind at the resort’s spa, while anyone looking to top up their energy levels can enjoy a delicious meal at one of the resort’s exquisite restaurants. Add to this the superb all-inclusive package served up on Manafaru Island and guests will find everything they need for an unforgettable holiday in the heart of paradise.

A Dream Come True at JA Manafaru Maldives Our time at JA Manafaru Maldives was perfect — an unforgettable escape to paradise that left us feeling completely recharged, inspired and so grateful. As soon as we arrived on the island, we were blown away by the breathtaking beauty of the surroundings. Crystal-clear waters, powdery white sand and lush green palms everywhere you look — the setting is straight out of a postcard, but even that doesn’t do it justice. Our villa was an absolute dream — spacious, elegant and incredibly private, with our own pool and direct access to the water. Every detail was so thoughtfully designed, blending luxury with a laid-back island vibe. Waking up to the sound of the ocean and ending each day with a sunset dip in our private pool felt surreal. The dining experience at JA Manafaru truly impressed us. Each restaurant had its own unique charm and the food was always fresh, flavorful and beautifully presented. From romantic beach dinners under the stars to relaxed breakfasts with ocean views, every meal was a highlight. The staff was extraordinary. Everyone we met was warm, welcoming and genuinely passionate about creating an unforgettable experience for guests. You can feel how much they love what they do — and it shows in every interaction. The level of care and attention was something we’ll never forget. We also had the chance to explore the island through snorkeling and sunset boat rides, each more magical than the last. There’s a perfect mix of relaxation and adventure here, tailored to however you want to spend your days. We left with full hearts, beautiful memories and the strongest desire to return someday.

Disappointing Honeymoon at JA Manafaru – Not Worth the Money Poor Management My experience at JA Manafaru fell far short of expectations for a romantic, luxurious honeymoon. The high price tag didn’t match the value, with subpar amenities and inconsistent service. Many advertised features didn’t live up to reality. While some staff were friendly, requests were often delayed or ignored, and management was largely absent, showing little concern for guest satisfaction. A major letdown was the mishandled house reef snorkeling booking, which I missed entirely. When rescheduled, the snorkeling experience was underwhelming, with little to see. Dining was another disappointment. The food lacked variety and quality, despite claims of gourmet cuisine. Prices were exorbitant ($40 for a 10ml tequila shot), making meals feel like a rip-off. Activities were limited and overpriced. Excursions like dolphin watching and fishing ($110 per person) offered poor value, with minimal equipment provided. Over priced and won't recommend. It is too far from Male.

Ja Manafaru was an absolute dream from the moment we were greeted at the airport. Our bags whisked away and ready in our room when we arrived. We had a whole team of staff greet us at the dock. Our customer relations manager Nishan took us straight from the sea plane to our room and made us pina coladas for sunset to go with the complimentary champagne and macaroons in our room. Our room was beautiful, clean, spacious and everything we hoped for from the photos. The bikes were amazing to ride around the island. We were there 5 nights and still didn't experience everything the island had to offer. Nishan did an amazing job booking in special meals for us. We loved the jet skiing and the movie under the stars with homemade icecream was perfect. All the restaurant food was incredible and so many drink options. We loved so many aspects of Ja Manafaru we are going back next year with the kids. Thank you to everyone at Ja Manafaru for making our "once in a lifetime" holiday completely perfect in every single way.

We had an amazing time at JA Manafaru. The entire island is beautiful and it really does look just like the pictures. Sabaah was a great host - very helpful from check in to check out. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The food was wonderful - we enjoyed every meal. We also really enjoyed riding the bikes around the island. It was very difficult picking a resort given the amount of options, but we feel we made an excellent choice.
