JA Manafaru set amongst the glittering waters of Haa Alif, the northernmost atoll of the Maldives.

Accommodation
The enchantingJA Manafaru island resort is home to 84 exceptional villas and suites. Guests can take their pick between the Beach Bungalows, Sunrise Water Villas and Sunset Water Villas (each boasting space for two adults and two children as well as offering their own luxurious amenities, such as a private plunge pool, a decadent decking area and enticing views of the Indian Ocean. Alternatively, guests can opt for the one-bedroom Beach Suites (225 m² with beach access and a private infinity pool), the Grand Water Two Bedroom Suite (350 m² with direct lagoon access and a private infinity pool) or, our personal favourite: the 600 m² Royal Island Two Bedroom Suite – a veritable private island palace for up to 6 discerning travelers. Resplendent with 13-metre-long infinity pool, beach cabana, sauna, steam room and private massage suite, it’s the ultimate in island living.

Dining
Guests will be spoiled for choice by JA Manafaru’s exquisite collection of dining opportunities, with a total of 7 bar and restaurants to explore. Start your day with an energizing breakfast at the Kakuni Restaurant, before making your way to the Infinity Bar and Pool for a selection of salads and sandwiches designed to keep your hunger at bay. Evenings offer the option of Italian-inspired cuisine at Andiamo, freshly sourced seafood and meat at Ocean Grill or mouth-watering Asian fusion food at White Orchid. And how better to wash-down a delicious meal than a visit to The Cellar or the Horizon Lounge – the perfect places to enjoy either a glass of wine or a cocktail creation whilst watching the sun go down over the Indian Ocean.

Activities
Take to the waves with a range of motorized and non-motorized watersport options. Choose from kayaking, windsurfing, stand-up paddling, catamaran sailing, jet-skiing, wakeboarding, mono-skiing, knee-boarding or water-skiing or explore the Indian Ocean with the help of JA Manafaru’s 5-star PADI diving centre. Superb scuba diving and snorkeling conditions offer the chance to explore the Indian Ocean, providing challengers for both absolute beginners and experts alike. And if all that aquatic action leaves you feeling worn out, a series of sensual spa retreats await your return at the Calm Spa & Salon and the Mind and Body Movement Pavilion.

How to Get There
Despite its secluded location towards the north of the Maldivian Republic, JA Manafaru couldn’t be easier to access, with international travelers offered the option of either an air transfer directly from Malé International Airport or a short watercraft journey from the closer Hanimaadhoo Domestic Airport.

Best Time to Travel
The dry season, which stretches from December to April, promises extra sunshine hours, less humidity and fewer tropical showers. Whilst temperatures still soar between May and November, there is increased cloud-coverage which brings with it humid and wet conditions.  For those keen to explore the oceans, the transition months of November and April are perhaps the best time to travel, and are associated with increased water clarity and better visibility for divers.
