Wellness at JA Manafaru

Ayurvedic Treatment

Afternoon · restorative

Ayurveda-rooted treatments — shirodhara, dosha-based facials — led by an on-site Ayurvedic specialist as a named modality distinct from a generic massage.

Dolphin Cruise

Evening · for two, all ages, restorative

A dhoni or speedboat trip, usually timed to sunset, built around spotting wild dolphins — the most widely offered named excursion in the Maldives.

Group Fitness, Gym & Training Classes

Morning · restorative

Structured group fitness beyond a yoga mat — HIIT, TRX, Pilates, boxing and circuit training, run out of the resort's own gym or fitness pavilion.

House-Reef & Guided Snorkel

Morning · for two, all ages, restorative

A guided swim over the house reef, off the beach or a short boat ride out, with private, night and beginner variants at resorts that run their own dive centre.

Kayak, SUP & Sailing

Afternoon · for two, all ages, restorative

Kayak, stand-up paddleboard, sailing dinghy, windsurfing and kitesurfing — the wind- and paddle-powered end of the watersports centre, bundled as one booking.

Local Island & Village Visit

Afternoon · all ages, restorative

A guided excursion to a nearby inhabited local island, or to Malé itself, to see everyday Maldivian village life, markets and mosques.

Manta Ray & Whale Shark Encounter

Morning · for two, all ages, restorative

A guided snorkel or speedboat trip to a seasonal manta ray or whale shark aggregation site, mainly Hanifaru Bay and South Ari Atoll, from resorts close enough to reach it.
