Forty miles by seaplane from its legendary Per AQUUM sister, Niyama Maldives is a worthy newcomer. You'll find every bit of deserted island dream fodder here – tucked-away lounge areas that invite a nap by the water, overwater bungalows, infinity pools and a turquoise-heavy color palate that blends right into the horizon – but the array of indulgent activities also attracts a hip and active crowd.

This resort is our happy place, the place we repeatedly go to for a family holiday to relax and is a guaranteed memorable experience every time. We just returned for the 3rd time and everytime we realise why we continue to return. Anything can be resolved via your own personal service through WhatsApp. The service level is always exceptional. The food is beyond what you could expect for an island in the Maldives… the huge array of choices of restaurants and within those restaurants the amount of different choices and offers across many different food cultures, at an extremely high quality level is something many other resorts cannot match. The highlights of our trip is the coconut man who rides around playing music and gifting coconuts to hotel guests, the warming and friendly surf shack and the ability to just surf right on your doorstep with one of the best wave breaks in the Maldives. The kids club is the best we’ve seen in the Maldives …. We love the friendliness of all the staff - it’s always an experience we never forget. Our kids beg us to go back the moment we go home. We will be back for our 4th and 5th and 6th time - we promise !

Niyama is the best and most beautiful place we’ve ever stayed and visited. Everything about it exceeded our expectations. The staff were all so warm, friendly and happy. The food was amazing, and we are particular about having fresh and healthy food. Every restaurant was able to cater to our gluten free dietary requirements. Our eyes could feast on every view all around the island. We extended our stay and could have stayed longer again. We will be back. My daughter actually cried when we left. There is plenty to do and see for surfers and non surfers.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A truly unforgettable paradise 🌴💙 From the moment we arrived, everything about our stay was exceptional. The beauty of the resort is simply breathtaking — crystal-clear water, pristine beaches, incredible sunsets and the most beautiful surroundings. It genuinely feels like paradise. The peace and quiet were exactly what we were looking for. Despite having so many things to do, the resort never felt busy or overwhelming. It was the perfect place to completely switch off and relax. The service was outstanding. Every member of the team was warm, genuinely caring and incredibly attentive without ever being intrusive. A special thank you to Ammi and Chef Mo who went above and beyond to make our family feel so welcome and looked after. 🥰 The food was fantastic, with plenty of choice and consistently high quality. We loved being able to enjoy beautiful meals while taking in the incredible surroundings. The activities were another highlight. From snorkelling and swimming to surfing and exploring the island, there was something for everyone in our family. The boys loved the activities and the freedom to enjoy the resort, while we loved having plenty of opportunities to relax. What really made our stay special was the combination of luxury, tranquillity, exceptional service and genuine warmth. It’s rare to find somewhere that works so beautifully for the whole family. We absolutely loved our time here and are already looking forward to returning. 💙🌴✨ A very special place that we hope becomes a family tradition.
