Peaceful stay

31 Aug 2025
The food was excellent as well as the experience’s we got to do on the island. The kids club was really nice and well organized and ready to welcome the kids. The staff was very friendly and kind they always serve you with the best. Our personal butler (mohammed) was very kind and helpful with our stay as he made sure we had the best stay. Highly recommend this resort as it’s surrounded with the most beautiful landscapes. Although reaching the resort was a bit tiring since we were an hour and 30 mins away from the main airport.

My first hotel in the Maldives

31 Aug 2025
They greet you as soon as you land at the airport and then take you to the lobby, where you can relax and eat. Afterward, you'll be transported by seaplane to the hotel, where a wonderful team greets you. Takhuru accompanies you to your room and always offers luggage storage. The food is delicious, mostly seafood. You can sample different international cuisines each day. My vacation ended, and they dropped me off at the airport by seaplane. Even after my hotel stay ended, they continued to welcome me in the lobby and even escorted me to the airline to deliver my luggage. It was an incredible experience. Thank you everyone.

Our vacation at JA Manafaru 5* was nothing short of magical!

31 Aug 2025
Our vacation at JA Manafaru 5* was nothing short of magical. From the very beginning, the experience was exceptional — the seaplane transfer was smooth and incredibly scenic, offering breathtaking views of the atolls as we flew over the turquoise Indian Ocean. The resort itself is a true paradise: pristine beaches, crystal-clear water, and perfect weather every single day. Our villa was beautifully designed and impeccably maintained, with outstanding housekeeping service that made us feel truly pampered. One of the highlights was the food — every meal was delicious and varied, with a wonderful selection of international and local cuisine. Whether dining at the beachfront restaurant or enjoying a private dinner under the stars, the culinary experience was consistently excellent. Snorkeling right from the shore was an absolute delight. The house reef is teeming with vibrant marine life — we saw countless colorful fish, rays all in clear waters. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay special, always warm, professional, and attentive. JA Manafaru is more than just a resort — it’s a dream destination. We left feeling completely relaxed and already dreaming of our next visit. Highly, highly recommend!

Paradise hotel

31 Aug 2025
I such an amazing hotel actual paradise. What makes it even better is the staff and service. I’d particularly like to highlight our assistant Mohammed who was the nicest most helpful guy ever, he is so friendly and made our trip so much better.

Maximum relaxation

31 Jul 2025
Vacationed with my family for 9 nights, we loved the hotel, very quiet, with other vacationers you rarely meet. Vibe of complete privacy. Wonderful cuisine, we doubted about the a la carte menu, but on the first day all doubts fell away. The cooks are very tasty, can prepare dishes at your request. The waiters are always around and you don't have to wait for them to notice you. Cleaning works discreetly, the room is always clean, cleaned 2 times a day. Special thanks to our butler Mohamed, he was always on call, helped in any situation and provided us with the most relaxing vacation, where any issue was solved quickly. My young man's parents were originally to live part of the vacation in a beach villa and part in a water villa. But because of the big waves, they were a bit scared and uncomfortable because of how they felt in the water villa. We asked if it was possible to move back to the beach villa, Mohamed organized everything on the same day and even put them in a higher class villa! I would also like to thank our dive instructor Jack for his professionalism and patience. If anything was unclear, he was always happy to help and explain again and again. Thanks to him diving became a real adventure for us! The only thing noted was that the bikes were not very comfortable. In general we express our gratitude to the whole JA Manafaru team for making our vacation unforgettable and as relaxing as possible ❤️.
