Maldives
Niyama is the “Nature’s Playground”, recognised as one of the most beautiful natural islands offering more than a luxury retreat in the Maldives. Going beyond conventional concepts of lavish accommodation, sumptuous cuisines, and lavish services, Niyama Private Islands presents every visitor with myriad opportunities to create their own exceptional island experience. With twin islands CHILL & PLAY, Niyama offers you the true luxury of choice, with everything expected from an island resort and so much more. Chill is true to its name. You can discover new depths of relaxation at The Drift Spa or take in a movie under the stars at the outdoor cinema. Just off the coast, Edge prepares elegant entrées from freshly caught seafood, while Subsix will delight with its underwater panoramas. Play provides delightful diversions for those looking for more active pursuits. On the water, you can kayak around the islands or discover why Niyama is among the hottest surfing destinations. Bicyclists can explore the island at their own pace, perhaps lured by the aromas from the chef’s spice gardens.
