Double the Dream: JA Resorts & Hotels Launches Complimentary Dubai Stay with Every Indian Ocean Booking

What if your journey to the Indian Ocean didn’t begin with a long-haul flight and a dash to the resort, but instead unfolded as a curated, two-part experience — city sparkle first, then barefoot bliss?

JA Resorts & Hotels has quietly launched one of this summer’s most seductive luxury travel pairings: book seven nights at their ultra-exclusive JA Manafaru in the Maldives or JA Enchanted Island Resort in the Seychelles, and they’ll gift you a complimentary two-night stay in Dubai. Yes, really.

This is the luxury layover — reimagined.

Part One: Your Dubai Prelude

Before you’ve even dipped a toe into the Indian Ocean, Dubai greets you with a little glamour of its own. And with a choice of three very different stays, your mood can set the tone.

Feel like easing in by the beach? JA Ocean View Hotel in Jumeirah Beach Residence gives you floor-to-ceiling views of the Gulf and direct access to one of Dubai’s buzziest waterfronts. Prefer a wellness reset or early tee time? JA Lake View Hotel, nestled within a 128-acre resort, offers golf, horseback riding, and a serene start to your journey

. Or, if you’re the kind of traveller who likes a slower pace and a morning hike in the mountains, JA Hatta Fort Hotel delivers seclusion and wild beauty — just 90 minutes from the city.

You’ll get breakfast included, and two nights to press pause before your next chapter begins.

Part Two: Island Time, Redefined

Then comes the main event.

In the Maldives, JA Manafaru offers that castaway fantasy with a cultured edge — think water villas, manta ray sightings, and all-inclusive gourmet dining in the northernmost atoll of the archipelago. It’s private, untouched, and utterly postcard-worthy.

Meanwhile, over in the Seychelles, JA Enchanted Island Resort offers something even rarer: the chance to fully take over an entire private island (11 villas, two lodge rooms) if you wish.

There’s kitesurfing, yes — but also helicopter tours, catamaran dinners, and total privacy in one of the world’s most protected marine reserves.

Why Now?

2025 is already being dubbed the year of the long getaway, with more luxury travellers opting to extend their stays and experience multiple destinations in one trip. But it’s rare to find a package that blends city, sea, and service with this much fluidity — and with complimentary nights in a destination like Dubai, it feels like the kind of elevated travel decision you’d only hear whispered about by someone in-the-know.

Now you’re in the know.

JA Manafaru from £700 per night

JA Enchanted Island Resort from £750 per night

Two-night Dubai stay complimentary with seven-night booking.
