Niyama Private Islands Maldives

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

We didn’t have the best first impression. We’re quite familiar with airport arrival procedures, and although we asked about the transfer a day before arrival, we only received flight details without clear instructions on the meeting point. So, we assumed we could proceed on our own. However, during flight check-in, we were told to wait for the airport representative. While that was fine, the initial interaction with Maf felt a bit unpleasant. That said, the rest of the stay improved significantly. Yagu, who received us at Kudavadhoo Airport, was friendly and attentive. Our thakuru, Aly, was laid-back and helpful, giving great suggestions throughout our stay. Pablo from the dive center was very professional. We joined the complimentary house reef snorkeling every day at 10:30 am which we really enjoyed. The Blue Hole and coral nursery visits were also nice. it’s great to see efforts in reef restoration.🙂 Dipenda at Edge was welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend it for sunset drinks, great atmosphere and service. You can also visit the underwater Subsix restaurant which was also a unique and memorable experience. Dewa, the restaurant hostess, made us feel comfortable with her warm and friendly service. If you don’t meet Imran (the coconut guy), you’ll miss one of the highlights of Niyama! Aly kindly arranged for him to visit our villa, and we had the best coconut ever. His coconut show made our stay fun and memorable. A staff cycling around the island serving jelly was also a nice touch. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay. The only downside was leaving early due to transfer availability, but we’re glad we made the most of our time, especially with snorkeling. The food at Blu and Epicure was excellent. We had a food coma after every meal! Surf Shack also has great vibes for sunset. And my favorite? The coconut ice cream in the room 😘
