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.

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.

My second home in the Maldives 🤍🌴 This was my third stay at Niyama, and somehow every visit becomes even more special than the one before. Niyama has truly become my second home in the Maldives. A huge thank you to the entire team for the beautiful upgrade and for always making me feel so welcomed and taken care of. Everything, from the villa and the service to the smallest details, was exceptional. The food was another highlight of my stay. I especially loved Tribal and Edge — both were amazing, with delicious food, beautiful settings, and such a special atmosphere. Dining at Edge with the ocean views was definitely one of my favorite moments of the trip. A very special thank you to Salta, who took such wonderful care of me throughout my stay. Her kindness, attention, and warmth made the whole experience even more memorable. 🤍 And a special thank you to Wael for his wonderful hospitality and service. He was so welcoming and attentive and made my dining experiences even more enjoyable. There’s a reason I keep choosing Niyama whenever I need time for myself — the peace, privacy, incredible service, and beautiful atmosphere make it truly special. Thank you, Niyama, for another unforgettable stay. I already miss my second home and can’t wait to come back again. 🤍✨

We spent a wonderful vacation as a couple on Niyama Private Islands. The island scenery is breathtaking, the water villas are stunning with direct access to the sea. We enjoyed fantastic snorkeling trips around the island, the marine life was amazing. The staff are friendly, attentive and always ready to help. The food was delicious and the atmosphere is peaceful and private. It was a perfect Maldives trip for couples, highly recommended!
