Niyama Private Islands Maldives

We just got back from a family trip to Niyama Private Islands and it was one of the best vacations we’ve had. From the second we arrived, the GM and the rest of the team made us feel so welcome. It set the tone for the whole trip. If you’re traveling with kids, this is the place to be. The staff here actually treats children with real respect, which is a nice change of pace—they really made our daughter feel like a VIP. The Kids Club is great, and a huge shout-out to Sabrina there. She was fantastic with our daughter and even jumped in to help us out with babysitting at the last minute, which we really appreciated. The service philosophy here seems to be "never say no"—every request was handled with a smile and they genuinely seemed happy to help. A few people really stood out and made our stay special: Mr. Steven (F&B Manager): He was everywhere! He’s always walking around with a smile and really keeps the food quality top-notch. He added so many personal touches, like making sure our daughter got her favorite white chocolate chips with breakfast, and he’d often surprise us with desserts at dinner. Ammi (Our Thakkaru): He went way above and beyond for us. He even organized a private session with the marine biologist so our daughter could go snorkeling with turtles. It was the highlight of her trip. Riza: She has so much energy! She took great care of us during our meals, and it was so much fun having her get everyone up dancing at the underwater glow party. Krishna (at Nest): Such a kind, warm person. He took great care of us at dinner and always made a point to say hello at breakfast. Kofi (at Dune Restaurant): He made dining at Dune so easy and pleasant; he was always super helpful and kind. The Team at Edge: We had a lovely moment where a gentleman from Nepal noticed it was getting windy/rainy at sunset and brought our daughter hot chocolate and marshmallows without us even asking. That kind of thoughtfulness is what really makes this resort stand out. The villas themselves have been recently refurbished and are super comfortable. We really loved the twice-daily housekeeping, too. The food was great, there was plenty to do, and the service was top-tier. We left feeling really well looked-after and are already hoping to get back soon. Highly recommend for any families looking for a getaway.

Went for my 40th Birthday. We had a private Butler Zaid who was very lovely and helpful. He helped us book all the activities and gave us tips as advice on things to do. Loved the bicycle rides every morning around the two islands.

Visit to Paradise We went to Niyama at he end of May. Fabulous weather , absolutely amazing and attentive staff and our Thakuru, Salta was very helpful and kept us updated with daily events and activities. Niyama is quite large so bikes are given to everyone to get around the island . We had a water bungalow which was very spacious inside and outside with lovely amenities. There are 6 restaurants to choose from and even the buffet restaurant Dune does amazing food. The underwater restaurant is must !!! Excellent taster menu !! A shoutout to the fairly new staff Sami who welcomed my family every morning , chef Abhi who went out of his way to make special off the menu dishes to tantalise my taste buds. Prithesh, who looked after our lunch needs perfectly. Imran, the coconut man, where every morning along with our morning coffee, waited a tall glass of fresh coconut water. If you’re looking for a large island with plenty of activities, stunning water, amazing coral reefs and white sand Niyama is the place to go !

Stunning place with an impeccable service. Our personal assistant Zaid, was lovely and efficient, supporting us with everything that was needed. Thanks!

It was a pleasant stay with Niyama. We highly recommend the resort for families. We thank our butler Salta who made our stay unforgettable! We will come back. 10 of 10
