“Don’t search for paradise — it’s right here.”

31 Dec 2025
We stayed at this wonderful location from December 21, 2025, to January 4, 2026. The island is breathtakingly beautiful, with fantastically well-maintained and naturally grown surroundings. Every morning, the paths and the beach are cleaned and perfectly prepared. We stayed in a Sunset Water Villa on the 200 side. From the spacious bed, you have a direct view of the ocean. The terrace and private pool are not visible from the beach, offering complete privacy. Access to the crystal-clear sea is via a staircase directly from the terrace. The beautiful and generously designed villas are cleaned twice daily by housekeeping. If you have any concerns or need assistance, the concierge is always happy to help. The entire resort staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The Christmas and New Year celebrations were planned with great attention to detail and were an unforgettable experience in the midst of this stunning natural setting.

A family heaven where your personal assistance keeps you tuned to life at the resort and makes the life easier for you! Her name is Farah and she was an angel for me during my stay. Location is a bit far as it is the farest island and the seaplane took almost 2 hours. The island must be one of the most natural islands with 7 big Banyan Trees which have their own stories. There was wind most of the times and the sea was raugh. İt rained also a few days but the wheather was still admirable with palm trees and the sand was pure white and silky. I got sick and never felt alone aith the help of my personal assistant Farah helped me for everything from my departure, flight organizations, doctors, everydays’ special dinner rezervations, spa arrangements and everything she was like a sister, with perfext organisation skills. Thank you so much Farah!!!

A Family Trip We’ll Never Forget

31 Dec 2025
If I had to sum it up in one line: we arrived thinking the Maldives might be boring — and left after one of the best family vacations of our lives. And that’s entirely thanks to JA Manafaru! First impressions matter — and they nailed it. From the moment we landed in Male, everything felt effortless. Hotel representatives met us at the airport, guided us through the journey, and that feeling of being taken care of never stopped — right up to check-in for our flight home. Arriving by seaplane was a moment in itself. At the pier we were welcomed by the general manager and his team with smiles, waving hands, cold coconuts, and icy towels. Exactly what you want after a long journey. We stayed in an overwater villa, and it was perfect. Btw, choose odd-numbered villas (501, 503, etc.) for more privacy, quieter evenings, sunrise and sunset views. The opposite side faces restaurants and a bar, where music can be heard at night. We were genuinely impressed by the service. Housekeeping twice a day: you come back from breakfast — the villa is spotless, you return from dinner — a cool room, treats waiting for you. The staff are genuinely warm, attentive, and always ready to help. As for activities: it's impossible to get bored :) If you did 3–4 activities per day, you still wouldn’t manage to do everything in 8 days. Traditional sea fishing — we caught around 20 red snappers plus a few other fish. Dolphins — not once, but twice, swimming right next to the boat. Snorkeling: two piers packed with fish, starfish, and reef sharks, direct access to the ocean from every overwater villa, even near the shore: crabs, hermit crabs, starfish everywhere. Perfect for families: evening walks along the beach with a flashlight. The number of crabs is insane — from tiny ones to huge 10–15 cm giants. Kids were thrilled. Don’t miss the stingray pier in the evening — hunting fish, reef sharks almost every night, and we even spotted stingrays a couple of times. A surprise highlight. JA Manafaru is home to the first and only underground cellar in the Maldives. The collection is seriously impressive. Even if you’re not a wine lover — the tour alone is worth it. Food that's worth traveling for. We tried every restaurant on the island — and every single one delivered. Kakuni — excellent breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. The Pad Thai is shockingly close to what you get in Thailand. Andiamo — great pizza and pasta. Even if your favourite pasta isn’t on the menu, the chefs will happily make it. Bonus: a large pool nearby where kids have a blast. Ocean Grill — unforgettable "Live Lobster" dinner. With Roberto’s help, we actually caught our own lobster. Yes, it’s fun. Very fun. White Orchid — this one deserves bold letters. Sushi, sashimi, crab, mango salad, incredible flavours everywhere. Hands down the best lunch of my life. New Year’s Eve — that was huge! Celebrating New Year here deserves its own paragraph. The Gala Dinner was unreal: sushi, sashimi, lobster, crab, king prawns, red and black caviar, fresh tuna, fish, meat, perfectly cooked steaks (pro tip: skip lunch that day and save your appetite ;) Final thoughts: JA Manafaru is an island where boredom doesn’t exist, food becomes a memory, and service feels effortless. We traveled as a big family and left truly happy. And yes — we’re already hoping to come back ☺️
