Winter travel should offer more than a change of temperature. It should create space to reconnect, pursue new interests and experience somewhere genuinely different. Across the Maldives, Dubai and Hatta, JA Resorts & Hotels brings together private island living, beachfront tranquillity, active escapes and dramatic mountain scenery.

In the remote northern reaches of the Maldives, Forbes Travel Guide-recommended JA Manafaru offers a rare sense of seclusion. Surrounded by the clear waters of Haa Alifu Atoll, the natural island feels far removed from the pace of everyday life, with tranquil beaches, a house reef accessible from the shore and experiences shaped around the ocean and Maldivian culture.

For families and friends travelling together, the Three-Bedroom Island Residence elevates privacy on an exceptional scale. The largest three-bedroom residence in the Maldives, it offers generous indoor and outdoor living spaces, two private pools, a secluded stretch of beach and a dedicated spa pavilion with sauna and steam room. Personal butler service and private dining allow each day to unfold entirely on your terms, whether that means quiet time by the pool, an ocean adventure or an evening shared beneath the stars.

Dubai offers two contrasting ways to experience winter sunshine at JA The Resort near Palm Jebel Ali. For those seeking calm, JA Palm Tree Court is an all-suite beachfront retreat set among lush gardens and palm-lined pathways. Spacious suites, direct access to a private beach and unhurried days by the water create a relaxed setting for couples and families who value nature, privacy and time together.

Nearby, JA Lake View Hotel offers a more contemporary base for travellers who prefer to keep moving. Overlooking the resort’s golf course and lakes, it places an impressive collection of sporting experiences within easy reach. Days can begin with golf, continue with horse riding or a swim with horses, and take on a different focus at Dubai’s longest indoor shooting range. It is an active holiday with the freedom to balance sport, dining and time by the beach.

Beyond the city, JA Hatta Fort Hotel makes the most of Dubai’s cooler winter months. Set against the rugged Hajar Mountains, it offers a striking change of perspective, with hiking, kayaking on Hatta Dam, horse riding, padel, archery and wildlife encounters. The dramatic landscape brings a sense of openness to each stay, while evenings beneath clear mountain skies encourage a welcome change of pace.

However you choose to spend winter, JA Resorts & Hotels offers more time, space and possibility to experience it together.

Extend your winter escape with two complimentary nights when you stay seven nights or more, plus complimentary seaplane transfers for stays at JA Manafaru.
