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.

It was our first time in the Maldives, and what an incredible experience! The island is stunning, the staff are truly amazing, and the rooms are spotless. A very special thanks to Zaid for taking such great care of us — always there to make sure everything went smoothly. Huge appreciation to Brian and Chuchu at the Surf restaurant for the delicious food, their warm smiles, and daily cheerful welcome. Mita was a wonderful host during breakfast and at Nest restaurant, and Dewa was always smiling and ensuring everything was perfect. The spa therapists were excellent — so relaxing and professional. We also loved the refreshing coconuts with Imran, who was always around with his amazing spirit and smile. Overall, it was an unforgettable stay — we’ll definitely be coming back soon for the incredible people and the exceptional hospitality. Thank you to Niyama and the entire team for making our trip so special! 🌴❤️

We stayed at Niyama Private Island for three nights, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The resort is absolutely beautiful — the beach, the rooms, the atmosphere, and the food were all perfect. Everything feels very peaceful and well taken care of, and the staff are some of the friendliest people we’ve met. Our 3-year-old had such a great time at the kids club. The team there was so kind and attentive, and the activities kept him entertained and happy every day. It really made our stay more relaxing knowing he was having fun and being well looked after and that we could him have him dropped off at the kids club anytime (the kids club policy accepts 3-years old unattended). A special thank you to "Zaid". He took care of every little detail, made great recommendations and always checked in to make sure we were comfortable. He truly made our stay unforgettable. An incredible guy who went above and beyond in every way. We enjoyed every part of our stay and left with so many happy memories. Niyama is the perfect mix of luxury, nature, and warm hospitality. I would highly recommend it, ALWAYS.

This was our third stay at Niyama Private Islands, and we can confirm: it was just as exciting and rewarding as the previous times – we always love coming back! The service is unbeatable: Our Tukuru Imthy was exceptionally organized and always available. Diving instructor Achu did an excellent job, guiding us safely with clear explanations. The restaurant service was wonderfully warm: Alexa served us efficiently and was always up for a friendly conversation. Dewa and Mita impressed us with their attentiveness, checking on our well-being and consistently calling us by our name. All the waiters and waitresses were very kind and always smiling. Imran gave us a smile every day and treated us to a delicious coconut. The Niyama team, from Imthy and Achu to Alexa, Dewa, Mita, and Imran, truly makes this place our second home. Highly recommended!

Our stay at Niyama Private Islands Maldives was beyond amazing. I visited with my wife and our 10-month-old baby, and everything from the warm welcome to the high-quality service was exceptional. The villas were stunning — both the water villa and the beach villa offered full privacy and breathtaking sunset views. The food, the atmosphere, and the attention to detail were on another level. I would like to give special thanks to Zaid (Thakuru) for his outstanding hospitality. He was attentive, professional, and truly made our stay unforgettable. Niyama is simply one of the best resorts in the Maldives — a perfect balance of luxury, privacy, and peace. Highly recommended for couples and families. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The best way to describe Niyama Private Island is a paradise on earth that enters your soul and fills it with peace and in harmony with unspoiled nature. The natural beauty of nature combined with the most exquisite service of the staff that makes you feel cherished and pampered from de arriving to the departure, makes the most amazing and memorable vacations of my life. To Madi, Shafeeq, Youkay, May and Mita, who made me feel so special and cared. Thank you for everything! I’ll be back someday :)
