JA Manafaru Maldives x Galeries Lafayette Dubai Eid Shopping

Dubai : Just in time for the Eid Al Adha long weekend and leading into the summer, JA Manafaru has announced an exciting collaboration with Galeries Lafayette Dubai. Enhancing the journey before travellers even arrive in the Maldives, the partnership will see guests enjoy a thoughtfully curated pre-travel experience that blends island escapism with fashion, beauty, and personalisation.

Guests booking JA Manafaru’s Stay 7 , Pay 5 offer can take advantage of a complimentary pre-departure styling and beauty experience at Galeries Lafayette Dubai , ensuring a glamorous start to their holiday. The perfect way to prepare for the idyllic Maldives, the experience will see guests begin their vacation in Dubai through a tailored session that refines their wardrobe, elevates their travel essentials, and sets the tone for a considered island stay. Guests can then enjoy seven nights at JA Manafaru for the price of five including seaplane transfers, allowing more time to explore the island’s natural beauty, immersive dining experiences, and curated activities.

At Galeries Lafayette Dubai, a personalised styling session with expert personal shoppers awaits, alongside a complimentary facial or makeover with a selected beauty brand. The experience also includes a 20% privilege saving on selected fashion and home collections, a curated gifting moment, and access via a dedicated booking code, ensuring a smooth and tailored journey from appointment to departure.

Tucked away in the northernmost reaches of the Maldives, JA Manafaru offers a natural island experience defined by space, privacy, and connection. Home to spacious beach and overwater villas, expansive residences (including the Maldives’ largest three bedroom residence, and a diverse collection of dining and wellness experiences, the resort is ideally suited to UAE and GCC travellers seeking a more meaningful family Eid Al Adha or summer escape, with this offer providing the perfect opportunity to linger longer.

Commenting on the collaboration, Roberto Garrone, the General Manager of JA Manafaru, said, “”We spend a lot of time thinking about how to make a holiday feel a little more special every time. This felt like a natural way to do that. Instead of after coming on the island, the aim was to get our guests into the holiday feeling while still at home. Bringing everything together with Galeries Lafayette just made sense. They really understand personal style and those small thoughtful details to turn holiday planning into something that feels easy and considered for our guests from UAE & GCC, especially over the summer.”

Renowned as a leading retail destination in Dubai, Galeries Lafayette brings a distinct blend of fashion, beauty, and lifestyle experiences to the collaboration. With its heritage rooted in Paris and a strong presence in the UAE, the brand is known for its personal shopping services, curated collections, and immersive in-store experiences, making it a natural partner in elevating the travel journey beyond the destination itself.

With added time on the island and a complimentary pre-travel experience designed to inspire and prepare, this collaboration is a chance to rethink how holidays should begin. To discover more and book your stay, please visit here.
