JA Manafaru
The Resort – Secluded Maldives hideaway
Positioned in the Haa Alifu 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 has its very own house reef. You’ll have access to a staggering 20 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 Calm Spa Sanctuary to the ocean-facing Horizon Fitness Pavilion, kids’ play areas, tennis court, swimming pool and bicycle tracks. Whether you’re an A-list celebrity, loved-up honeymooners or travelling as a family, you’re certain to find your bliss.
