JA Manafaru continues to grow, welcoming an increasing number of returning guests and strong forward bookings for 2025. As the resort celebrates its 10th anniversary, a host of new features and improvements are enhancing the personalized experience that guests have come to love.
Island Enhancements
Recent efforts to address beach erosion have proven successful, even during a challenging week of bad weather in August. The island’s new coastal protection plan has been highly effective. In addition, YashLightroom Studio, a new photography service, offers professional photoshoots for guests, located conveniently next to the resort boutique.
Villa Upgrades
Guests can now enjoy the island’s new water bottling plant, offering mineral and homemade sparkling water. Cookies are available in every villa, and upon arrival, guests are greeted with an in-room cocktail or mocktail crafted by Thakaru. Beach slippers in various sizes are now provided, ensuring comfort for all guests. Ongoing room maintenance in the water villas continues to improve guest experiences without disrupting their stay.
Snorkeling and Activities
The updated House Reef Snorkeling Guide includes new maps and essential safety information, helping guests explore the best parts of the reef. Whether snorkeling or enjoying a boat ride, the vibrant marine life and crystal-clear waters provide unforgettable moments.
Dining and Wellness
The breakfast tea station has been upgraded, and White Orchid has been transformed into a Japanese restaurant offering gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, and low-carb options. The revamped menu pairs beautifully with the new décor and atmosphere.
For wellness seekers, JA Manafaru has introduced Wellness Your Way retreat programs, offering flexible 2 to 10-day options at great value. The Calm Spa Sanctuary now features new massage tables, and the resort continues its commitment to sustainability by using Ocean Bound Plastic products.
From improvements across the island to a range of new guest services, JA Manafaru offers an unforgettable Maldives experience in 2024 and beyond.
