Niyama Private Islands Maldives

Niyama was the perfect getaway for our 10 day honeymoon. We stayed in an overwater villa. It was truly fabulous. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. The island itself was kept immaculate. Loads of choice and options for food. The food was excellent. Shout out to Youkay for making our honeymoon so special!

We book this Resort trusting Minor reputation standards and we couldn’t do better . Quality of the Villas and service in it was superlative, nothing is never a trouble. 2 islands to choose from in the same resort plenty of sport activities from surfing to tennis and despite the island is busy you feel very few guests are in. A good F&B choice of Restaurant and bars to choose from , great quality of breakfast . Cherry on the cake is their Asian concept Nest Restaurant on top of their strangle figa trees , simply OUTSTANDING. Buffet Restaurant choice could improve but still good quality to be in Maldives . P.S. just remove Russian translation in the buffet tags… not very elegant as Maldives is not a Russian territory. Villa are kept very well , very well equipped nothing is missing or needed. The service throughout the island is excellent , competence and professionalism could be felt in any corner with any encounter , even the coconut boy is a great surprise. Niyama is the only Island in Maldives that offers fresh coconut free of charge to its guests… smart idea Congrats to the Management of the Island to keep a great spirit amongst employees and guests . All in All one of the best Resorts in Maldives.

We wanted to visit the Maldives, and make it a trip to remember, and that was the case. We wanted a resort far away from Male, and to experience the Sea Plane transfer, that was to add to the experience, that was also achieved. We wanted a villa that was private and private, so we picked the Over The Water Delux and it was utterly amazing, no one else could walk in front of your view, maybe snorkelers but the only on lookers constantly was Eagle Rays, Sharks and the stunning reef with crashing waves, crystal clear water and stunning sunsets. We had the Full Board package during our 5 nights, which was worth it, as you had the relax option to eat very well, drink when you wanted too, and dine in all restaurants when you were ready ( Sub6 and Surf Shack not included ). Food was really enjoyable, well portioned. The serving front of house staff well trained, and enjoyed being on the island, making you feel special, remembering your name almost straight away. You get a dedicated Thakuru ( butler ) who will be by your side if you need anything, drive you in the golf buggy if you needed, and will help you with a guide what and where to eat for lunch and dinner. Communication is done via your mobile on Whatsapp. Wi-Fi is pretty good, every major location has Wi-Fi, your villa being one of them. Peddle bikes are given to every guest, with your names on so there is no mistake who's bike is who's..and somehow, that system works well. The island is very easy to walk round, maybe takes a good hour if casually walking, or..use your bike ( or ask your Thakuru! for a buggy ride..which they'll do a quick tour on arrival ). Sub6, it is very expensive, but choosing not to enjoy this experience ( as per person is expensive ) I would of regretted it, and I am glad I did. Being below the Ocean is spectacular. Wasn't there for the Glow Party club night in Sub6 which is a small fee, if not free ( not as much as dining there for lunch ) but this is the cheaper way to experience the restaurant. The beaches are utterly stunning, what you'd expect being in the Maldives. Expect rain, expect overcast, but the blue skies all day and warm sunshine do happen. A small gift shop, jewellers..that's it. You are there to relax and to be happy. One small advice to HR, is that, the bikes MUST have lights fitted, you know how easily it can be for golf buggy not to see tourists. It's a cheap easy fix for the bikes. If you are thinking about Niyama, you won't be disappointed. Paying for Full Board may be the wiser option, vs pay for every wine and dine. The Sea Plane experience is fantastic, and Niyama looks after you from the arrival at Male to Niyama to Male to your departure. It is true your luggage is weighed, so make sure it's near the 20kg target, hand luggage ours wasn't weighed ( they say 5kgs ) Thank you to all at Niyama's staff and our amazing Thakuru, Shafeeg More Date of stay: November 2024

A perfect family holiday experience at Niyama, a tropical paradise in the middle of the Indian Ocean. The experience is superb, not only because of the white sand beaches, turqoise-colored sea, lush-green jungle, but most importantly the people who are working here are absolutely amazing. Out Thakuru, Gia was always very kind & keen to get out thoughts & needs fulfilled, the staff at Kids Club were absolutely amazing people, passionate to provide kid with the experience they never had. The staff at all restaurants showed great personality. I get to understand why some of the guests on this island are multiple-times visitors, it’s truly an unrivaled experience!

Had an amazing stay at Niyama private island Maldives where i got a luxurious stay with home like amenities everything was top notch I have been to other resorts in Maldives as well but here it was all exceptional weather we talk about food , services friendly staff everything was great and i would like give a special thanks to hotel team and his members and on addition a big thanks to all the chiefs for the best food we had.

Our first time in Maldives and we were spoiled with a fantastic time at Niyama. Mughni, our guest liaison, delivered superior support throughout. Our over-water jacuzzi villa was a treat and dining across the resort was divine. I’m sad to leave my trust beach cruiser that allowed me to explore the islands with ease. 20 stars out of ten!
