Maldivian beach property to be reflagged by JA Resorts and Hotels

The Beach House Iruveli on the island of Manafaru, at the northern tip of the Haa Alif Atoll in the Maldives, is being rebranded by its owners JA Resorts and Hotels in November to become JA Manafaru.

The 84-bedroom property was bought in March 2013 and has since been operated by owner JA Resorts and Hotels. The former owner was Sun Hotels and Resorts and prior to that, it was the Waldorf Astoria Maldives.

The Calm Spa and Salon at the property features six couples' suites, one Ayurveda room, one Thai massage room and two 'day rooms' for relaxation. There is also another indoor relaxation area and an outdoor relaxation area too. In addition, there is a salon where manicures and pedicure stations are located. The spa’s wet zone facilities include two saunas, two steamrooms and four pools of differing temperatures. The spa’s decoration and set up is currently being finalised.

The luxury British skincare brand Elemis is the house product used in the spa. The treatment menu lists a number of Elemis-branded therapies, including seven types of facials, 10 types of massage, seven body treatment wraps and baths, four spa rituals, in addition to manicures and pedicures.

“We will focus on strengthening the trust of our guest base by providing not only exceptional services, but information that will aid each of our guests in the process of obtaining a balanced and healthy lifestyle,” said Nikolaos Sifounios, executive assistant manager of JA Manafaru – as it will be named from 1 November.

“We will provide our guests with all the necessary information about Elemis products and the benefits of using them on a daily basis in order to establish loyalty and return,” Sifounious continued. “Our strategy is to emphasise quality, originality and dependability of service.”

The retreat also offers a dive centre, water sports school, recreational activities, a family entertainment area and a dedicated kids club.
