JA Manafaru

Experience the allure of the northernmost private island retreat in the Maldives: JA Manafaru. Tucked away on the secluded northern tip of the Maldives in Haa Alifu Atoll, JA Manafaru is an unspoiled haven spanning a 35-acre island. Accessible by a picturesque 75-minute seaplane flight from Velana International Airport, or, a 55-minute domestic flight followed by a brief 10-minute speedboat journey, this exclusive sanctuary promises an escape to the essence of Maldivian tranquillity.

 

Discover 84 stylish and generously spacious villas, ranging from one to three bedrooms, thoughtfully scattered along the pristine beachfront amidst lush tropical greenery, or over the glistening Indian Ocean. Each villa offers an intimate connection with nature, boasting elegant interiors adorned with rich dark wood and sleek grey stone. Revel in open-air bathrooms leading to private sundecks featuring plunge pools, daybeds, and sun loungers—your very own indulgent paradise.

 

Savour an exquisite array of culinary delights across the resort's seven dining venues. Kakuni Restaurant tempts guests with all-day dining showcasing global flavours from breakfast through to dinner. Delight in Asian specialties at the White Orchid lounge, where some evenings are accompanied by light musical entertainment. Indulge in signature seafood and steak by the beachfront at The Ocean Grill, or relish all-day Mediterranean cuisine in a tropical setting at Andiamo Bistro and Pool. For sunkissed days and breathtaking sunset moments, head to the Infinity Pool & Bar, offering aperitifs, cocktails, and picnic hampers. The Barefoot pop-up bar emerges seasonally in Kakuni Garden. Guests seeking a unique experience can explore The Cellar, the Maldives' first and deepest subterranean wine cave, the perfect setting for paired dining and fine wine tastings.

 

At the Calm Spa Sanctuary, nestled in the island's verdant landscape, immerse yourself in Ayurveda and aromatherapy-inspired wellness treatments. Discover a haven of tranquillity with indoor and outdoor wellness treatment areas, garden relaxation zones, plunge pools, sauna, and steam rooms. Unwind amidst the island's serenity at the garden wellness pavilion, perfect for private or group yoga and meditation sessions.

 

JA Manafaru invites you to a myriad of experiences. Lounge on its powdery soft beaches or luxuriate in the two recreational island pools. Snorkel at the house reef accessible directly from the shore, or embark on a host of watersport adventures, from paddleboarding to wakeboarding. Dive into the azure depths and discover the coral-rich reefs of Haa Alifu Atoll. Engage in marine and environmental awareness at the Seatopia lounge or delve into Maldivian culture at Magey Hiyaa, the resort's cultural awareness centre.
