Good food👍 And they do their best to satisfy your need

Really nice place. Beautiful view, good food, and friendly people. They did their best to satisfy your need, and providing lots events to explore. The fruit and seafood is the best and fresh. Recommend to visit and experience.

This is how it should be done

We have just got home from our 14 night stay at JA manafaru as a family of 3, We had been really excited and spent hours researching Maldives resorts before deciding to come here and from the second we landed we were absolutely blown away. Rooms- we stayed in room 505 an overwater sunrise villa which was very spacious, immaculately clean and had steps into the crystal clear water. Half way through our stay we were offered to swap rooms to a deluxe beach villa room 300 which we accepted to experience a different room type as we would never book a beach villa, again the room was huge and if you like privacy from your children had a sliding door separating the bedroom to the living room with child’s bed in and a much bigger pool out back. We preferred the water villa just for the wow factor but was a lovely experience and so glad to have been offered. Staff- I’m not going to give anyone a special mention because I would have to name each and everyone of them, nothing was too much trouble and everyone went above what I expected, I finished a beer and another appeared, we were constantly being asked if things were ok and if we needed anything else and everything we asked for got sorted, these are clearly a very happy team, well done. Food- I think you would find it impossible to have a single bad meal here, the best I’ve ever had at an all inclusive and I’m now worried the bar has been set too high for my future travels. If you want a 5* PLUS holiday in a very quiet and postcard perfect island then don’t waste your time looking elsewhere. We have never revisited the same resort twice as it’s a big world but we will definitely be returning here in the future. Thank you for giving me memories with my family that will last a lifetime. The only negative I can give is the return flight home, we were collected by a sea plane that didn’t get us to the airport until 8am and our flight was 9am, we had to almost run through first class lanes even though we were economy and got questioned by the airport staff several times, we were extremely close to missing our flight and this was really stressful. Better planning on the return is needed.

There's a little bit of magic at Manafaru - pretty much perfect in every way.

We had an exceptional stay at JA Manafaru and would highly recommend it to anyone considering coming here. This was my 6th visit to the Maldives and the only time that I have booked a return visit to anywhere whilst still on holiday with an excellent Black Friday deal for April 23. The reservations team were exceptionally helpful prior to the stay, answering all of my queries and happily changed my villa choice for me a few times. Kristina was especially helpful and responses were nearly always answered on the same day. This same level of service continued from the moment we landed at Male with a perfect transfer time from the BA flight to Manta air with just 15 minutes in the lounge. This was the fastest journey ever to any island bar a speedboat transfer so don't' let the distance put you off. The return journey was equally impressive with a seaplane at 7:30am from the resort for the Emirates morning flight with a short wait in the lounge. We stayed in the larger deluxe beach villa which was absolutely beautiful with lots of garden space and loungers at the front and a lovely pool at the back. The beach worked for us although at low tide you had a limited sandy bottom before the rocks. This was villa 305 which was a great spot but some of the other villas had a rocky seafront at this time of the year, although in the high season apparently this changes as the sands move round. The standard beach villas have a large beach in front of them but I wasn't so keen on the more open frontage as I like more privacy on my lounger where I can pretend I am the only person on the island. The island was very 'jungly' with lots of foliage and interesting things to discover in the interior. You can walk round it in approx. 20 minutes and you also get bikes with the villa. There are a variety of places to eat with varied menus and we enjoyed them all, especially the gala nights and the afternoon tea. The food was exceptional and dining out felt very far removed from the more traditional buffet offerings at other resorts. I am not a great foody but I enjoyed everything on offer, especially the little pots at breakfast that tasted amazing and were good for me ( the chocolate one was gorgeous). I love a pina colada and this was one thing that the staff struggled with but didnt seem too offended when I send them back to be put in the blender. The staff and management here were the best I've ever encountered. Mark, Food and Beverage MD popped up everywhere and must have covered miles every day checking everything was up to scratch. He also briefed the team on pine colada making so they were all in competition to make the best one by the end of the stay. Sabaah, our nominated person, also appeared regularly in person as well as answering all our queries on WhatsApp within minutes. Dean gave a fascinating back of house tour

The best place we have ever stayed

I don’t even know where to begin because I never felt the need to write a review for a place I visited. My husband and I went for our honeymoon and had the absolute BEST experience we ever had. I have 27 food items I’m allergic to that I noted for our pre-arrival. As soon as we got off the boat at the resort the head chef came up to me ensuring me they got my note of it and they would do all they could to accommodate. Let me tell you, they were able to make me whatever I wanted from scratch and tweak any recipe for me. No place has ever gone above and beyond like they did and everything was SO UNBELIEVABLY GOOD. I had to get some take home recipes from our cooking classes so I can have it all again! Service was beyond EXCEPTIONAL for all aspects. We felt so taken care of the entire time. Everyone says hi and everyone is always at your service. I could write a novel on how much we loved this resort and it’s staff. I truly was saddened to leave because the staff felt like family. We will absolutely be returning some day. THANK YOU to the entire Ja Manafaru team. A trip that we will cherish forever.

Extraordinary memory

My husband and I spend 7 nights in Ja manafaru to celebrate our anniversary, this is our first time travel to Maldives and we are so happy that we have chosen your resort. It is so amazing. The resort is so beautiful, no matter you are staying in the villa, swimming in the infinity pool, snorkeling in the coral jetty or having meals in any restaurants,  it seems like paradise and feels relax. All food and drinks are good and all staff are friendly and helpful. Special thanks to our host Linda, she helps us a lot and cares us very much. If you can only go once in your life, you won't regret choosing Ja manafaru!!! Cheers to the Ja manafaru team and also the sky. We are lucky to have good weather in this holiday. Really love it.
