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.

we had an amazing stay at Niyama, and one of the highlights was our experience with Valerie. She is so kind, patient, and talented. The photos she took are absolutely beautiful and something we will always cherish. Thank you for such a lovely experience! Highly recommended 💕

Absolutely magical! From start to finish wow ! As we arrived at the airport the incredible service started, we were taken to the sea plane terminal and taken to the plane by a niyama rep. The sea plane was amazing with world class breathtaking views and we then arrived at beautiful Niyama. We were greater by loads of staff and the Gm and our thakaru Maria. We have never had a welcome like it. Absolutely amazing!! They knew our names , escorted us to the lobby and gave us a cold drink , a tour of the island an showed us to our luxurious villa. The island , the staff , the rooms , the food , the water sports , the kids club are all beyond five star. The Gm must be the best in the world ss tho place runs like clockwork and the organisation is fantastic. Nobody said no to any request the whole time. The kids were looked after at the kids club so well and have come back so happy we’ve never seen anything like it. They had excursions , cookery classes , scavenger hunts and loss more and I just can’t thank the team enough. Maria our thakuru was so lovely and so kind and helpful and was happy to take care of any request we asked for. She was available all day and would all ferry our kids back and forth to the kids club. Thank you Maria you were incredible. The kids were so sad to say good bye. The nature on this island is beautiful and the water is so clear and blue, The beaches are world class. I don’t have any negatives which is rare a stay. We are truly thankful to everyone at the hotel for making our family holiday so amazing. Tips.. go to the deserted island excursion it’s great. The boat team look after you so well and know so much. It’s totally safe in the water too. Book a deluxe villa if you can as it’s on a nicer beach. ( all beaches are nice ). Book nest as food is lovely. Do the comp snorkelling trip once. Book a seaplane transfer to see the views. If you have kids this is the place ! It isn’t overrun with kids , but very kid friendly. They don’t talk over anything and everyone can still relax but there is a lot for them to do a they love it. Book a cinema on the beach. We will be booking our return next year in a month or so. It’s our new favourite place. Thank you Niyama!

We travel to Niyama Private island regularly. This is because it’s a magic place to have a holiday. The food and menus are great with no end of choice. Most of all the staff are fantastic. Always friendly and caring. There are too many to mention but some stand outs are Zaid who takes care of all our needs, Asso and his colleagues who are ever attentive at meal times.

He was super supportive, helped the trip to be smooth and safe especially with baby. Thank you Dimitri for everything. We will definitely come back to you.

The hotel is incredible. The staff are very attentive. The quality and variety of the dishes are impressive. The hotel shows how much it cares about its guests, not only during the stay but also before and after. The pre-check-in and post-check-out experiences were wonderful.
