JA Manafaru, The Real Maldives

You’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a private island fantasy at the idyllic, five-star JA Manafaru, where your every desire is catered to. Nestled in dense tropical foliage on the private island of Manafaru in the Haa Alif Atoll, a blissfully secluded and pristine spot at the Maldives’ northernmost point, JA Manafaru is perfect for honeymooners and families alike. Here, world-class luxury meets laidback beachside ambience – with breathtaking views of the shimmering Indian Ocean always on the horizon, it’s an escape that’s impossible to forget. Porcelain-white sands and crystalline lagoons are always within easy reach and the house reef is abundant with a thousand colours of marine life, making for superb snorkelling and diving.

The Calm Spa Sanctuary is an oasis of tranquillity – book a luxe treatment during your stay and allow ancient Ayurvedic therapies to rejuvenate your body and mind. If you’re feeling adventurous, cycle across the island on one of several bike tracks, or enjoy a tennis match or a fun-filled round of futsal. The resort offers a culinary journey within seven unique venues, while The Cellar, the Maldives’ first and deepest subterranean wine cave, houses over 8,000 bottles and offers delicious tastings and unforgettable dining experiences.
