Beautiful island, and out beach villa was perfect with it's private plunypool and beachfront location. The staff were the best we've met in 4 visits to the Maldives, incredibly friendly and they just want you to enjoy your holiday to the full. Highly recommended!

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.

We have just come back from a fabulous 7 days at JA Manufaro ...from the minute we were greeted at male airport with one of the team we were well looked after we were in a fully aircon room while we waited for our flight to the island which was very smooth and organised the flight was 55mins followed by 10 min speed boat ride to the resort where we were welcomed with many of the team waving us in it here we met Sabaah our thakuru we were taken to our beach Villa what can we say but wow its more than we ever could imagine we stayed 3 nights there then we moved to a sunrise water Villa and again wow no words can actually describe how amazing these villas are . Sabaah went above and beyond he made all of our reservations always at the end of a WhatsApp for our every need nothing is too much trouble . During our stay we had breakfast at kukani where there is so much variety of food and drinks on offer you start with fresh friut toast cereals yogarts pastries fresh juices you help yourself to while they prepare your breakfast order highly recommend the eggs benidict. Lunch we split between Kukani and our favourite Andiamo which overlooked a tropical pool area, it is here we met Nazim he looked after us for our stay always with a happy welcoming face always made a special cocktail which were amazing along with the food thanks to Nazim for making our holiday special. Dinner we went to White Orchid which is a lovely setting just on the jetty overlooking the sea where you see lots of fish and we even see a stingray swim by . After dinner we had a walk along to the end of the jetty where we seen about 15 or more sharks this was one of our highlights of our stay. Ocean grill was our favourite place for dinner its on the beach another beautiful setting we loved the surf and turf we have never seen prawns that size before 5 star meal every time here. We also did kukani for there special nights we had the Maldivian night , seafood BBQ and the Asian Street food i wont say too much about these nights other than you must go they really are something else . On our last night we went to the Cellar for dinner omg what a beautiful special place our meal here was delicious its set 2.5 meters below sea level it is an underground volcanic stone cave from floor to ceiling displays of the finest wines. Infinity is where we went for a drink throughout the day and night where we met Imran that guy is something else such a hard worker always made time to chat to us about our day suggested lots of things for us to do made us feel really special during our stay always smiling and joking with us we always looked forward to seeing him he is a true gem. We were here celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary during this time our house keeping guy Raidh made every effort to make it special whether it was running a bubble bath or 2 for when we returned to the villa leaving us a special anniversary cake or the beautiful bed display just made it all the more special he came twice a day doing a great job keeping our room immaculate alway asking if there's anything else he can do ! We also met Mark the food and beverage manager what a happy chatty guy goes round to everyone and i mean everyone making sure you having a great meal and a great time, takes alot of pride in his work and his team always praising them . We stayed on an all inclusive basis which we found to be an amazing variety and quality of food and drinks ...bring some larger sized clothes for your journey home as 3 course breakfast lunch and dinner defo puts the pounds on .

Incredible. I can’t think of a word that will give justice to how extraordinary this trip was for me and my partner. From the level of service, kind hearted employees with world class hospitality and mannerisms and level of expertise. The Experience at Ja Manufaru is truly unmatched! Some may say this is heaven on earth! This was an experience i will never forget and will forever cherish my time there. Honourable shoutout to the following staff members how have consistently shown professional hospitality and continued to showcase a “a can do” attitude and overall are amazing people. Hajar’s warm and welcoming nature truly set the tone for our entire stay. From the moment we arrived, she took care of every detail, ensuring that our honeymoon was filled with memorable moments. Her attentiveness was remarkable, and it felt like she anticipated our needs before we even had to ask. Hajar’s commitment to making our stay exceptional was evident in every interaction, and her genuine care for our well-being made us feel like we were among friends. We are immensely grateful for Hajar’s hospitality and the personal touch she added to our honeymoon experience. She is a true gem at this beautiful resort, and her dedication made our time here even more special. Secondly Nizam was a waiter we would see at Kakuni. He also made us feel right at home, always giving us a helping hand in explaining the extraordinary dishes at Ja manufaru along with showcasing and educating us about the Maldivian culture and their rich history in food and tropical fruits was truly captivating. And last but not least, Rishy. Rishy was someone myself and my partner really bonded with during our time in Ja Manufaru. His smile was so affectionate, and his level of hospitality is truly remarkable. Rishy's genuine warmth and willingness to go above and beyond to make our stay memorable left a lasting impression on us. From personalised recommendations for activities to checking in on us to make sure we dont miss dinner, Rishy made us feel like VIPs throughout our stay. It's people like him who make a destination truly exceptional. We can't thank him enough for making our Maldives experience unforgettable. We'll cherish the memories and the friendship we found in Rishy. These dedicated individuals exemplify the outstanding team at Ja Manufaru, and they are a testament to the resort’s commitment to providing an unforgettable experience. We extend our heartfelt thanks to each of them for making our stay a dream come true.

Fantastic luxury resort in the maldives. The perfect escape from all things civilized without renouncing luxury. Crystal clear waters with plenty of marine life to explore. White sandy beaches fine as sugar. Luxurious accommodations with see through glass floors, private seawater pools, and all amenities of a 5 star resort.
