JA Manafaru<br />

A teeny tiny island reachable in just over<br />

an hour by seaplane from Malé, this chic<br />

family-focused hideaway is home to<br />

just 84 spacious villas and suites, each<br />

with a private pool and lush outdoor<br />

space. Live large in the two-storey,<br />

three-bedroom Royal Island Suite (with<br />

its own spa facilities, barbecue area and<br />

ornamental pond) and make the resort<br />

your leisure playground with beach<br />

volleyball, a futsal pitch, games room,<br />

infinity pool, and more. Parents can<br />

escape to Calm Spa while kids enjoy<br />

the dedicated Coolzone and Chillzone.<br />

There are seven dining destinations<br />

to discover, including White Orchid by<br />

Michelin-starred chef Da Dong. We say<br />

sign up for a Maldivian cooking class.<br />

WE LOVE<br />

Dine two-and-a-half metres below sea<br />

level at The Cellar, an award-winning<br />

grape cave for 10 guests that offers a<br />

side serving of haute cuisine.<br />

MEMORY MAKER<br />

Get out on the water and stand up<br />

paddle board into the distant Indian<br />

Ocean sunset.<br />
