Situated on a private island in the north of the Maldives, JA Manafaru provides luxurious beautifully appointed beach and overwater villas with private outdoor pools. An on-site PADI dive centre, 3 additional outdoor pools and pampering spa treatments are available. The property is spread over 35 acres of peaceful white sandy beach, accessible by either domestic flight, followed by speedboat ride or choice of private charter seaplane transfers from Male’. Beautiful island, lush vegetation, nice beach without sand bags (just like in the picture you see on the hotel website). Friendly staff all over the island. I would like to mention our thakuru (Abdo - he was very efficient and helpful) and Kitty from dive centre. We tried all restaurants and food was very tasty and fresh.

Sunset Beach Residence with Pool at Hideaway Beach Resort and Spa is your very own luxury beachfront retreat – everything your family dreamed a holiday in the Maldives could be, and more.

Designed to be like a private home, there is space in abundance; a private stretch of powdery soft beach, an infinity pool and even a rooftop terrace for star-gazing. A separate living room area adds an area to relax to the villa. We visited Hideaway resort in February 2023. It was our best Maldives trip ever. We would like to highlight first the team spirit , the service and the management support during the entire trip. Secondly we loved our beach sunset villa (110) the interior, the size of the villa was outstanding. Beautiful view to the beach, super size garden for the kids with a cool pool. If you like snorkel or dive it’s the best place to visit. To find the marine life is literally 3 steps from the beach. I would recommend to take the all inclusive package to not worry about your food and beverage during your stay. ( specially if you drink alcohol ;-) We took that option and was a best choice. I would like to mention a few people and staff but actually the entire team was outstanding. In the restaurant: Shahid who serve us the best breakfast ;-) iIn Meeru Bar: Sonai who served the best food for us, Adi & Agus who run tireless with our cocktail. For families with kids: the kids club offers fantastic activities for the whole day. Our kids (11 and 9 years old) enjoyed it so much, it was hard to take them out of it. There is only one area what they should improve: the transfer from/to Male. As the island is far from the capital, there is only one seaplane per day so you most probably need to take the domestic flight and count with longer travel time. But beside that, the resort, the facilities beside that, the resort, the facilities and the service is perfect! We couldn’t expect more! Diving center: Sara who managed for us many beautiful diving courses. Resort Manager / GM Amir & Christophe who always keen to provide the best solution. Last but not least our butler Muson, who support us during the entire holiday with passion and creativity!
