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 unforgettable stay at this wonderful hotel and truly enjoyed every part of our experience. The food was excellent, the surroundings were stunning, and the entire island was absolutely beautiful. Everything came together to create a perfect vacation for our family. What truly stood out during our stay was Yuliya, our responsible contact person. From day one, she was always there for us — attentive, caring, and very professional. Every day was well organized, and she was always quick to respond, no matter the question or request. Thanks to her, everything felt easy and stress-free. Yuliya genuinely cared about our comfort and did everything she could to make sure our family felt happy and well taken care of throughout the entire stay. Her presence made a big difference and added a very personal and warm touch to our experience.

Absolutely Magical Experience! Our stay at this Maldivian paradise exceeded all expectations. Special mention must go to our villa host, Gia, whose service was nothing short of exceptional. She anticipated our every need with a warm smile, arranging everything seamlessly from spa bookings to a surprise romantic dinner on the beach. Her attention to detail and genuine care made us feel incredibly special. The dining options were fantastic, offering impressive diversity. We enjoyed everything from fresh local seafood and authentic Maldivian curries to exquisite international cuisine. The breakfast buffet was a delight, and the themed dinner nights were a culinary adventure. The island itself is breathtakingly beautiful – powder-soft white sand, crystal-clear turquoise water, and lush greenery. It’s the picture-perfect postcard come to life. Finally, the entire staff deserves high praise. From the restaurant servers to the gardeners, everyone was consistently friendly, courteous, and eager to help. Their positive attitude truly enhances the resort's serene and joyful atmosphere. We left feeling utterly pampered and rejuvenated. A perfect 10/10 holiday – we can't wait to return!

Everything from start to finish was amazing! Very high end. Staff were fantastic, so polite, smiley and helpful. Our butler, Imthy was the best, Hussain at the Deli and Fundi in Blu pool were lovely and all the waiting staff, Mita, Alma, Jenna, Putu, Ibbe and Dewa in the restaurants all stood out! Thank you for the most wonderful stay, I hope we can return one day!

We had an absolutely magical time at Niyama. All the little details - from the airport pick ups and seaplane transfers to the level of service on the resort - outstanding. The beach villa was lovely, and the kids club was excellent. The biggest highlight has to be the food - we ate at the buffet all nights save one, and breadth and quality of food was simply outstanding. The team even asked us on our last day if there was anything we were craving and whipped it up. A huge thanks to some of the staff that made our stay extra special - Ritchie at the kids club who was so wonderful with our girls, our thakuru Ammi, Chef Pradeep who gave us a real taste of home and checked in on us, Nikhil and Mannan at the pastry station and Dewa. Abdoula who looked after us so well, and even brought out a herbal concoction to help my husband power through his cold. Imran for the delicious coconuts! And Steven, who addressed any concerns we have. We don’t have the names of the housekeeping staff, but they were absolutely fantastic. We can’t wait to come back! If there was anything at all I would suggest, and this is very much a nice to have is a nice tea / coffee hour with snacks. We had that at a previous resort and it was such a lovely way to get people together (if they wanted). And, it would be really nice to have hot tea / coffee on the dive boats with some substantial snacks post diving!

Beautiful experience at Niyama. Loved the organisation form our fabulous guide for our week Melissa who took care of every detail needed. Loved the bicycles to get around, the treetop restaurant was a favourite, delicious food at the beach bar, amazing diving with our guides and instructors Elijah and Aneel. This a resort that also offers surfing so I found the atmosphere super relaxing and laid back. A place to truly relax. Thank you for a perfect week.
