JA Manafaru’ s all-new collaboration with Manta Air will provide a seamless travel experience as guests arrive at their idyllic island paradise 

Dubai-: A brand-new, first-of-its-kind transfer service to the Maldives most northernly atoll Hoarafushi Airport from Velana International Airport has been introduced by the multi-award-winning, five-star, all-inclusive resort JA Manafaru Maldives.  

On exclusive routing for JA Manafaru, the premium service offers an upgraded transfer experience with a direct scheduled flight to the resort. After arriving in Male, guests will embark on the 15-seater plane, where they can relax in their comfortable surrounds fitted with a high ceiling, air-conditioned cabin, a restroom, and all-single seater window seats, providing magnificent, picturesque views of the azure-blue Indian Ocean. 

William-Harley Fleming, Vice President of Operations for JA The Resort and Indian Ocean says: “We constantly strive to raise the standard of our services in order to deliver the best possible experience to our guests. The launch of a new land charter transfer exclusively agreed with our partner Manta Air, aims to broaden guest’s choice for convenience and comfort while eliminating any stops at other islands and giving our guests the most comfortable, spacious and streamlined service possible. With inflight refreshments and premium onboard amenities, every need of our guests is addressed as they touch down in ‘The Real Maldives’ at JA Manafaru.” 

There will be two daily flights operating within a 2-hour transfer window. Guests are welcome to use the dedicated reserved area offered by Manta Air while they wait, situated on the top floor of the domestic terminal, overlooking the ocean. Additionally, travellers can enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi, South-east Asian cuisine, and light refreshing beverages, along with access to an outdoor terrace. 

Manta Air’s newly launched Beechcraft 1900D aircraft is one of the fastest small aircraft for high end passenger transfer and the first of its kind in the Maldives, enabling seamless travel with a reduced trip time. 

The 50-minute flight to Hoarafushi airport is followed by a 10-minute speedboat cruise, accompanied by stunning Indian Ocean vistas, to JA Manafaru.  

Positioned at the most Northern tip of the Maldives in the beautiful Haa Alifu Atoll, JA Manafaru offers privacy, space, and distance from other islands, idyllically located where the Arabian Sea meets the vast Indian Ocean. The remote location is beyond the rest of the islands, offering unspoilt natural landscapes to explore.  

The award-winning resort describes this as ‘the true Maldivian experience’, allowing guests to discover a pristine natural landscape uninterrupted by an excess of tourists. Fringed with exquisite powder beaches and crystal-clear waters teeming with exotic marine life, the chic enclave features 84 luxurious beachfront and over-water villas and residences, each with their own private pool and, in some cases, two.  

With a 5-star rating and TripAdvisor Travellers Choice Award 2022, JA Manafaru is one of the Indian Ocean’s most sought-after destination and a popular choice for couples and families.
