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. ##### Jose Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jorge 19 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I had an amazing experience at JA Manafaru. The people here take care of you from the moment you arrive at the airport, to the moment you get on the plane to leave. The staff felt more like family and friends than staff, taking care of every want and need. The food was amazing and the scenery was beautiful. This is an experience I would never forget! I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. I cannot wait to come back to this place. Thank you Mangal, Ibbe and Vipan for the wonderful experience. ##### Jorge Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Terrell 31 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities What is not to like.

Thanks to Mangal, Umar, Nizam, Rosa, Paveen, Isse, Shaad and of course Coco for taking care of our every need. ##### Terrell Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Russell 2 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Russell Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicole 30 Dec 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A real Maldivian island We had an extraordinary experience in JA Manufaru. First of all, the service was excellent. Each villa was assigned a Villa Host. The Villa Host of mine is super nice and helpful. Not only the in-villa service was great, all staff in the island were very friendly. Apart from the service, staff there enhanced our travel experience by providing us a glimpse of Maldivian culture. We had a chance to get to try traditional Maldivian food. Also, most of the staff are local Maldivians. We talked to them and learn more about the Maldives. ##### Nicole ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa 28 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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 ##### Lisa Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### ENWEI 6 Feb 2024 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. ##### ENWEI Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pratik 2 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Peaceful laid back resort. Amazing fine dining experience with receptive service. Food spread is posh, especially at theme nights. Presentation is very visually appealing. However, the a-la-carte menu is limited and the taste is not up to the level of the presentation. Not a lot of night life or night time activities. That is the main pain point. Everything shuts down by 6pm. There is not even an indoor/night swimming pool open after this time. This resort mostly targets people in their mid-late thirties or higher. Not for younger couples as much. Upon arrival, they insist you download the JA Manafaru app but this app misses critical features such as navigation. A suggested itinerary either by host or in the app would have been super useful but was missing. The water villa was very beautiful and the views were stunning. Mini bar was well stocked and included in the all-inclusive package. The ocean access ladder in water villas need to be better maintained. They were rusty and caused cuts and bruises when we tried getting in and out of the water. It rained for 2-4 hrs everyday during daytime during our stay. That’s when we realized that the resort has very little to do except dine when the weather is unfavorable. Water activities are limited. ##### Pratik Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JEAN CHRISTOPHE PIERRE 23 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Un lieu extraordinaire .... avec une équipe aux petits soins pour vous Extrêmement professionnel Rien ne manque et tout est fait pour votre bonheur a faire une fois dans sa vie...

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 ##### Rehana Stayed 9 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Molly 13 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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! ##### Molly Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 21 Apr 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Sehr ruhig und exklusiv.

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. ##### alyaa Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Royal Island Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Horubadhoo-Island-Hotels-Royal-Island-Premium-All-Inclusive-Resort.h1501450.Hotel-Information) > > [Ayada Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maguhdhuvaa-Hotels-Ayada-Maldives.h7353026.Hotel-Information) > > [Soneva Jani](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Medhufaru-Hotels-Soneva-Jani.h15375843.Hotel-Information) > > [Conrad Maldives Rangali Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rangali-Island-Hotels-Conrad-Maldives-Rangali-Island.h564176.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Park Sun Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nalaguraidhoo-Hotels-Villa-Park-Sun-Island-Resort.h2917878.Hotel-Information) > > [OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi - All Inclusive with Free Transfers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/OBLU-XPErience-Ailafushi.h72915265.Hotel-Information) > > [Cocoon Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ookolhufinolhu-Hotels-Cocoon-Maldives.h15440435.Hotel-Information) > > [Kuredu Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuredu-Island-Hotels-Kuredu-Island-Resort.h1521330.Hotel-Information) > > [Eriyadu Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Eriyadu-Hotels-Eriyadu-Island-Resort.h8094958.Hotel-Information) > > [Kuredhivaru Resort & Spa Maldives by Accor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuredhivaru-Hotels-Movenpick-Resort-Kuredhivaru-Maldives.h28858949.Hotel-Information) > > [You & Me Maldives - Adults Only - Premium All-Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Uthurumaafaru-Hotels-You-Me-Maldives.h36035737.Hotel-Information) > > [Bandos Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bandos-Island-Hotels-Bandos-Maldives.h1705990.Hotel-Information) > > [Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa, FREE SHARED CHARTER FLIGHT for two on stays of 7 or more nights from September 2025 until 23rd December 2026](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dhonakulhi-Hotels-Hideaway-Beach-Resort-And-Spa.h1393456.Hotel-Information) > > [JOALI Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Muravandhoo-Hotels-JOALI-Maldives.h22699380.Hotel-Information) > > [Siyam World Maldives - 24-Hour Premium All-inclusive with Free Transfer](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Siyam-World.h53715771.Hotel-Information) > > [Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chaaya-Island-Hotels-Cinnamon-Dhonveli-Maldives.h2232968.Hotel-Information) > > [Sun Siyam Olhuveli](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Olhuveli-Hotels-Sun-Siyam-Olhuveli.h7564853.Hotel-Information) > > [OUTRIGGER Maldives Maafushivaru Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maafushivaru-Hotels-Lti-Maafushivaru-Maldives.h5248538.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Nautica Paradise Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lankanfinolhu-Hotels-Villa-Nautica-Paradise-Island-Resort.h1932406.Hotel-Information) > > [Adaaran Select Meedhupparu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Meedhupparu-Hotels-Adaaran-Select-Meedhupparu-Premium-All-Inclusive.h2256805.Hotel-Information) > > [Summer Island Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ziyaraifushi-Island-Hotels-Summer-Island-Maldives.h9990281.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandies Bathala](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bathala-Island-Hotels-Sandies-Bathala.h33096418.Hotel-Information) > > [The Residence Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falhumaafushi-Hotels-The-Residence-Maldives.h6563347.Hotel-Information) > > [Adaaran Prestige Water Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Meedhupparu-Hotels-Adaaran-Prestige-Water-Villas.h1520790.Hotel-Information) > > [South Palm Resort Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ismehela-Hera-Hotels-South-Palm-Resort-Maldives.h31543567.Hotel-Information) > > [Cora Cora Maldives-Premium All-Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maamigili-Island-Hotels-Cora-Cora-Maldives-Premium-All-Inclusive.h67541796.Hotel-Information) > > [Furaveri Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Furaveri-Hotels-Furaveri-Maldives-Stay-4-Nights-Or-MORE-From-01-May-To-31-Oct-2025.h12809109.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Maldivas - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kedhigandu-Hotels-RIU-Palace-Maldivas-All-Inclusive.h35002724.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands](https://www.expedia.co.uk/The-Ritz-Carlton.h58998476.Hotel-Information) ---
