Our stay was just for 3 nights, but the staff ensured we had a wonderful time across. The food prepared was amazing and was customized by the chef as per our requirements. We stayed in a water villa and the room was beautifully set up. We would definitely consider visiting JA Manafaru again.

Perfect Honeymoon!
Even though I have stayed at many top-notch properties around the world, its safe to say the hospitality of JA resort was the best I have ever experienced! Every staff member there made us feel like we were the king and queen of the Island! If you visit Maldives you must stay in Sunset water villas of JA, they are very Luxurious. Thank you JA for this wonderful experience.

Everything was perfect! Special thanks to Mangal!
Everything was beyond perfect! The villa was breathtaking, the food was so tasty and everyone was so helpful and welcoming. Special thanks to Mangal, who was with us through every step of our stay. He booked for us everything and gave us tips on how to make the most of our stay. We were celebrating my husband’s birthday and we had the destination dinner. It was a 3-course private dinner by the beach. It was honestly the highlight of our stay. If you ever go, this dinner is a MUST. Thank you JA Manafaru team for the perfect stay and we can’t wait to be back again!

Absolutely a fantastic resort
We went to the resort for our honeymoon. We loved everything about the resort, from the activities it offers, the food, the facilities, and most of all, the hospitality of the staffs. To anyone visiting, we would like to recommend trying the Maldivian breakfast at the Kakuni restaurant. Whilst had high expectations about the beach and the rooms, but we never thought we would enjoy the food so much. We had a great time and we would definitely recommend the resort to our friends.
