Praticamente il paradiso in terra. Servizio, struttura, ristorazione, location tutto incredibilmente indimenticabile. Assolutamente consigliato, anche per la posizione. (essendo molto a nord è meno soggetto a piogge)

Excellent and beautiful property. The staff, to include the General Manager, are very friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. The food and drinks are very good. I recommend getting the all inclusive with food or it can get expensive. The snorkeling on the island is amazing. The Ja Manafaru is a true paradise.

The overall feeling is unsatisfactory. At this price, it is really not worth it. Regardless of the cleanliness or frequency of room cleaning, it is not satisfactory. The butler has too many customers to serve and cannot take care of all the guests. Diving conditions were average. The wind and waves were too strong and there were almost no water sports. Unfortunately, this was an unsatisfying trip.

Risposta di Jason Kruse, il giorno 9 feb 2024
Dear Enwei, Thank you very much for joining us at JA Manafaru and I am sorry that you do not feel satisfied. It was unfortunate that during your stay, we did experience higher than normal wind conditions, unfortunately, this is out of our control and from time to time weather does affect the ability to do water sports, however snorkelling and swimming are also possible on the other side of the island away from the wind. I know that during your sunset and dolphin cruise, the wild dolphins chose not to appear on that day, however, I am also informed that we did offer you, and you took up, a complimentary sunset cruise as compensation for the dolphins not appearing during your first trip. I am sorry that you did not feel this was acceptable and it would have been ideal to discuss this while you were on the island to find a suitable solution to your dissatisfaction. I spoke with Linda your guest services and I now know that she was delayed in picking you up one lunchtime as she was busy with an arriving guest at that time. We have discussed this and have decided to increase our front office manning to help cover when this happens. Again, my apologies for any shortfalls. We work very hard to do more for our guests and we are saddened to read of your experience.Kind regards, JasonGeneral Manager

We had the pleasure of staying for a duration of six nights and would have loved to have had the chance to extend our stay further. I had the pleasure of working with my personal attendant, Firdavs, who consistently demonstrated exceptional professionalism as well as a strong commitment to meeting my needs. He consistently went above and beyond to ensure that my requests were promptly addressed and taken care of. Victoria and Mark ensured a personalized experience for each guest. The water villas are truly impressive. The island provides a Maldivian ambiance, offering numerous home-like comforts. I will definitely return Dr. Brown

The staff was Top notch. Nishan took care of our every need. Chef Moosa was the unexpected highlight of our stay. We had a wonderful culinary experience with him that we will never forget. The food was the best ive eve had. We went during monsoon season expecting alot of rain. The rain was not a hindering factor, just a few showers on and off and one day where ut rained all day. I highly recommend this resort to anyone wanting to escape life for a moment. As an extremely busy individual, this resort allowed me to reset and relax, which was exactly what i needed.

This is a stunning property and is set up brilliantly for a relaxing stay, with gorgeous settings and lovely staff. Our host Rafu was exceptional - both polite, helpful and great with our toddler. The one area to improve is to be more proactive with arranging guest transfers. The island is located at the edge of the Maldives so transfers are less frequent and can be unsociable hours; we would have appreciated better upfront planning or at least notification of potential timing challenges. All in all, do pick this hotel as it is fabulous but ensure you know your plans in detail for transfers to avoid a bumpy set of discussions

Risposta di Karen , il giorno 29 nov 2021
Dear Ms Rehana, Thank you for sharing such kind comments about your Island experience and the team, always helpful for future travelers to understand and make an informed decision. Sadly, like many resorts Transportation challenges exist, partly due to the airline carriers covid downsizing (which has still not been re-established) as well as immigration and international flight delays/advances as it has a knock on effect to the local handlers. As you quite rightly mentioned, very important for this to be clear and for guests to reach out to us for clarity. We will always do our best to assist with what we can control. Once again, thank you for sharing your experience, it is very helpful to us to continue improving and for future guests benefit... we hope to welcome you back to paradise. warmly, Karen on behalf of the JA Manafaru team

This property was AMAZING!! The staff was as friendly as can be. I stayed in one of the water bungalows, which was a top-notch accommodation. All the non-motorized water sports were included, the food was terrific, and the water and beaches were gorgeous. My only issue was they did not have the breakfast buffet, but you are able to order whatever you want for breakfast, and it's all included. Also, it is quite far from the Male airport. It takes an additional 3-4 hours to get from there to the island through a domestic flight (not the nicest transportation) and an hour long boat ride. However, it was all worth it!
Soggiorno di 5 notti a ottobre 2021
Risposta di Karen , il giorno 14 ott 2021
Dear Molly, Thank you again kindly for the review and for choosing our little island for your celebration. It's a good point about the breakfast buffet, but with Covid protocols and feedback from previous guests that they preferred a la carte was the reason we decided to change this. Delighted though you enjoyed the full unlimited a la carte. Thank you for being brave and coming to the most northerly resort in Maldives... we are working hard with the available airline carriers to improve the connections to align with more international flights as they have also been adversely affected by the lack of tourists in Maldives, so we remain hopeful that this can only improve as the world navigates through the new normal. We hope we can welcome you back to your island and so very happy it was worth it and offered you the down time you deserved. warmly, Karen on behalf of the JAM Family

not going to that resort again
it should not be under five star, maybe four. The water villa was nice but the pool water was super smelly and the ladder/stairs going into the water was not safe- the screws were out and could fall off any minute. We asked for coconut water and were told we have to wait a day for them to provide it. Usually it is available at all times at other resorts and for free. At JA we they charge you for that. The food not so great, especially the presentation. They did not have so many options on the SPA menu too. Not worth going to that resort and it is 1.5 hrs on seaplane.

Risposta di JAM. GM , il giorno 14 feb 2020
Dear alyaa, as mentioned on the other review platform, we are terribly sorry that we did not meet your expectation. It seems we were sold out of coconuts on the day that you asked and yes depending on the meal plan you as a guest have chosen would dictate if they are included or not. I have no idea why your pool water would have been "smelly", as we have over 90 desalinated water pools on the island all coming from the same water source but again if this was your personal experience, my apologies. Our Spa team provide a wide selection of treatments, given the size of the resort as well as a further selection especially for Children and families and are always available to tailor make an advance bespoke experience for our guests if asked and they are able to assist without impacting other guests existing bookings. As for the journey to JA Manafaru, i am surprised that this would not have been evident when making your resort choice, the reason our owners purchased the island was exactly this reason. For guest to experience the Maldives of 30 years ago where there was still limited impact from the capital city and all the stress that that brings, where there is limited to no noise or plastic pollution and where you can still see beautiful vistas rather than cargo ships and other resorts. Again, apologies if we have not met your expectation and we value your comments in helping us improve to meet all our guests expectations warmly Karen on behalf of the JA Manafaru family

Nous avons arrêté notre choix sur le Ja Manafaru pour notre voyage de noce Villa sur pilotis sunset Nous avons l'habitude de voyager et avons la chance de fréquenter de très jolis endroits Pour autant l'effet wahou est omniprésent : gentillesse incomparable de tout le personnel, propreté de l'île : jamais un mégot jamais un papier qui traîne, propreté et qualité de la chambre L'hôtel est situé sur une île entière : rien n'est goudronné tout est en sable on vit en dehors du temps au paradis. Les restaurants sont de qualité (les prix sont plus élevés qu'ailleurs mais n'oublions que nous sommes sur une îles à 1h15 en hydravion de Malé) Les paysages sont à couper le souffle Chaque hébergement dispose de velo permettant de se déplacer aisément (même si l'île ne faisaisnt qu'1km200 de diamètre se déplacer à pied est largement possible) Les sport aquatiques sont nombreux et ils prêtent tout le matériel de snorkeling Les 2 piscines sont juste incroyables : une perdue au milieu de la végétation luxuriante et l'autre qui se confond avec la mer : du jamais vu Bref nous revenons absolument émerveillés c'est un sans faute A faire impérativement

This review is long overdue. My wife and I spent a week of our honeymoon at JA Manufaru back in 2016. We could not have had a more wonderful time in a more wonderful place. Manufaru will always hold a special place in our heart. The island is completely magical and the resort staff did an amazing job of being ever available yet allowing us to experience the island for our selves. Both my wife and I are very well traveled and Manufaru remains our favorite destination. When we left, we were looking forward to going back on a future anniversary. I would personally vouch for this place. It was that good.

Extremely well maintained given that this has been around for many years. Pros 1. Bathroom amenities are all by Elemis. Love the conditioner, because it's not diluted. 2. Housekeeping comes in a few times a day, room is very clean. They draw the curtain when it's sunset, cools down the room so you can rest right away after dinner. They even put extra bottles for us knowing we finished up the water on the first day. Very observant and thoughtful 3. Water around is clear. No rubbish. 4. Water villas are not joined together which means you have all the privacy you need. 5. Water pressure in shower is awesome 6. Breakfast was full of options. Good for 3 days stay. 7. In villa dining is 24 hours 8. Free snorkel equipment rental in half board. 9. Dinner options are just enough. 10. Very polite and efficient staffs all around the resort. 11. Lobster dinner was delicious. Fresh and tasty. 12. Seaplane transfer was the cheapest I see, comparing to other resorts. 13. Smoked trout, smoked mackeral, omelette, pancakes and waffles were our favourites every morning. 14. Fresh juices and very delicious passionfruit daiquiri 15. Last but not least, minimum to zero mosquitoes. It really helped a lot to not have any mosquitoes especially when dining along the beach. 2 thumbs up. Cons 1. Overpriced Spa. It's comfortable and quality massage, just really overpriced. We are talking about 550usd for couple. 80min massage with 40min scrub. Which definitely wasn't that

The resort was paradise. The room, the gorgeous beach and ocean, impeccable service and friendly smiles everywhere you go made the stay an unforgettable experience. The only thing that i wasn’t a fan of was having your experience host calling or knocking on your door to remind you of restaurant reservations. Us personally do not like to be bothered on vacations and are fully capable of setting up reservations on our own. Nonetheless place still gets 5 stars as everything else makes up for it.

Caro Melissa Muito obrigado pelo perfeito 10 de 10 classificação que você deu JA Manafaru sobre as férias que você tirou em nosso resort. De fato, as Maldivas são realmente especiais e estamos felizes que você tenha achado que tudo é simplesmente "perfeito" em Manafaru - a maneira como os associados o trataram como reis e também as acomodações que forneceram uma piscina particular. Vejo você em breve!

If you are looking for a 5 star property in the Maldives, look no further. This property is absolutely amazing, the staff executed perfectly and created a lifetime of memories. Our over water villa on the sunset side was absolutely beautiful a ladder with access to swimming and snorkeling right off the private deck. The villas include a private infinity pool that we used every day while watching the sunset. The beaches on the resort were picture perfect with powder white sand and crystal clear turquoise water. The property offers many activities ranging from a day trip to their private island and dolphin watching. Ultimately the property creates a tranquil, quiet and relaxing experience for each of it’s guests. We were personally met by the property general manager upon arrival who introduced us to Jameel who was our dedicated guest services manager. Jameel was at our beck and call and did an outstanding job ensuring our experience was perfection I was pleasantly surprised to have been met at the Malé airport by the property staff who escorted us and our baggage over to the seaplane terminal, the property has a private lounge in the seaplane port to relax prior to departure to the island. The hour and 10 minute or so seaplane flight was picture perfect and allows the passengers to view the hundreds of beautiful atolls that dot the sea making up the Maldives. For the return trip home we opted for the 40 minute boat ride to Hanimaadhoo Island which connects to a dom

Paradise on the water
My wife and I went to JA Manafaru on our honeymoon. It was paradise on earth! We flew in from Dubai to Male. Once we arrived there was a representative of JA Manafaru waiting for us to guide us to a special lounge where we waited for our seaplane. They had drinks and food available, and the wait was around 1hr but no issue. They weren't able to take all our luggage in one go (2 of the 4 didn't make it), but that was fine since there are multiple plans arriving and really very delay when we finally got to the resort. After a 75min seaplane ride arrived in Manafaru. Amazing views flying in, and then the staff was waiting at the dock when we got off the plane. Nice welcome refreshing drink with refreshing towels. Introduced to our "experience host" who was there to help us and attend to any requests or questions we had and take us to dinners and drop us off. Thanks Jaleel for all your great help, you were fantastic!! Resort is awesome!! Restaurants are great (we liked White Orchid and Ocean Grill - amazing lobster!!). We had the all-inclusive package which I would recommend since otherwise the menu prices were quite steep. Beaches and water are unparalled, so beautiful with blue crystal clear warm water and white sand. Service was great in all the restaurants, very attentive and kind. Activities are plentiful, we did the CastAway Island and Private Beach dinner, which were both great. You do have to pay for these activities but well worth it! All in all, amazing place!!!

Amazing hotel with attentive staff and great food
We stayed in the sunset overwater bungalow and it was just amazing. A huge villa with your own pool just above the turquoise ocean and fishes. The breakfast buffet is great with lots of options and the chef even made almond milk for me. For dinner you have several options - we tried the italian restaurant with amazing pasta, the ocean grill with super tender meat and a delicious vegan chickpea dish. We also had a castaway dinner where they bring you to an islands to have a candle light dinner just by yourself. Not gonna tell too much but it is very romantic :) The staff is very attentive and if you have a wish, they make sure it comes true. Overall and amazing experience for us

Simply Paradise
Our stay at JA Manafaru was amazing, from reception to checkout. It begins from booking with them as they will stay in contact all the way up until your trip. Upon arrival in Male there will be someone waiting for you to take you to the JA Manafaru personal lounge where there is food and refreshments that are complimentary. Then they will expedite you through everything whether is doing the Sea Plane or Domestic/ Luxury Speed Boat travel which are both amazing. Upon arrival at the resort you will be met by the General Manager and staff with refreshments. You will then meet your personal concierge who will always be readily available to make your stay amazing. Ours was Jameel who knew exactly what we needed and even made reservations to the restaurants prior to us saying a word. Food and drinks are phenomenal, and the selection is great as well. Overall staff and everything was amazing and highly recommend it.

Excellent service
We had a wonderful 3 night stays in JA Manafaru , the most impressive experience is how dedicated hotel staff are to making our stays happy .when we were in the island , the Italian restaurant was still under refinement ,but hotel manager instructed chef to make pizza for us anyway, and we even had our first one for free ;in another dinner occasion , my wife ordered the sushi (we live in Japan ) ,which was not as we expected, in the next morning , we were told that our last dinner was discounted 50% off. Not even to mention the friendliness of hotel staff. But there is one thing I have to admit : I assume because this is a luxury hotel located in a remote island , the excellent service comes with price , the average food price is twice above the regular one in Japan . And 75 minutes flight from Male is a noisy jounery .
