You’ll even have your very own in-villa wine fridge, which is replenished daily. Villas and suites are scattered along the beachfront or perched over the water and boast furnished sundecks – plus direct lagoon access for overwater villa guests.
Dining at JA Manafaru really is sensational, and if you’d like an insight into how some of the delicious local dishes are created, we recommend joining a Maldivian cooking class with Chef Moosa who will introduce you to the art of island cuisine. Alternatively, discover the island’s hidden secret, The Cellar, a unique subterranean wine vault home to some of the finest wines in the world. The team love getting creative with bespoke experiences, whether you’d like a romantic candlelit dinner on a private stretch of beach, or your favourite cocktail on at sunset on the White Orchid terrace, this is an undeniably romantic and inviting destination that we couldn’t recommend more highly. One of our top picks for honeymooners, take a trip to the resort’s uninhabited islands for the ultimate castaway experience. The resort also boasts an amazing Calm Spa Sanctuary and PADI dive centre with plenty of watersports to choose from. With its perfect white-sand beaches surrounded by pristine coral reefs and lapped by the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, we think JA Manafaru is as close to paradise as you can get.

LA CASA DE LA PLAYA RIVIERA MAYA, MEXICO
When La Casa de la Playa opened in 2021 it was love at first sight for the Caribtours team. This adults only boutique retreat has been designed with romance and seclusion in mind: every one of the 63 ocean facing suites has its own spacious terrace with a private pool and an outdoor bathtub carved from volcanic rock. The hammock suspended above the pool is another lovely touch.
Dining is a real highlight with an elevated service experience, that includes four delicious restaurants from the best chefs in the world that showcase the culinary diversity of Mexico, a well-stocked wine cellar, indulgent Chocolatería and four different bars, including a swim-up pool bar. Speaking of pools, check out the incredible 40-metre infinity pool which juts out towards the Caribbean Sea, an arresting focal point for the whole resort. Couples will also appreciate the wonderful Muluk Spa, which features double massage cabins with Jacuzzi and hydrotherapy pool. The hotel’s location on the Riviera Maya between Playa del Carmen and Tulum is another big plus, and guests enjoy special privileges at other hotels and parks within the Xcaret development.
