Highlights

The Resort – Secluded Maldives hideaway

Positioned in the Haa Alif Atoll, at the northernmost point of the Maldives, JA Manafaru is a sanctuary of untouched beauty. Thanks to its seclusion, the surrounding ocean is crystal clear and teeming with rainbow-hued marine life, guaranteeing top-notch snorkelling and diving. With the lagoon surrounding the entire island, the resort enjoys its very own house reef, with a staggering 33 diving sites and three onsite instructors – so the chance of spotting swooping manta rays, snappers, lionfish, sea turtles, seahorses and more is at an all-time high.

JA Manafaru considers the comfort of its guests a top priority. There’s something for every traveller here; from the tranquil Calm Spa Sanctuary to the ocean-facing Horizon Fitness Pavilion, kids’ play areas, tennis court, swimming pools and bicycle tracks. Whether you’re a A-list celebrity, a pair of loved-up honeymooners, a family or on a fun-filled group holiday, you’re certain to find your bliss.
