Our take

This resort is ideal for travelers seeking a comprehensive luxury experience on a private island, especially those planning a longer stay to benefit from the complimentary seaplane transfer. Families will appreciate the family-friendly amenities and diverse dining options, while couples can find secluded romance in the overwater and private pool villas.

  • Book a stay of seven nights or more to take advantage of the complimentary seaplane transfer to this northern atoll.
  • Explore the house reef early in the morning for the best snorkeling conditions and marine life sightings.
  • Make the most of the award-winning dine-around all-inclusive plan to sample all the culinary offerings.

Why guests love it

We picked JA Manafaru for the Dine Around all-inclusive plan, and with two teenagers it meant nobody argued over where to eat. The overwater villa put the house reef right off our deck, so the kids were snorkeling before breakfast most mornings without needing us to organize a boat. It's a long way to go, but the all-inclusive plan made the extra travel feel worth it fast.
