This was a last minute booking...literally the night before, and it couldn't have turned out better. We arrived by safari boat so we didn't come in with any other guests on one of the scheduled flights, but that didn't trip up this determined staff. Within a short period of time, we had received text messages and emails confirming our arrival... More

We stayed at Niyama in the 3rd week of May at an overwater villa with pool. It’s a beautiful place, still new, so the facilities and snorkel gear do not have that slightly worn look you get in the older establishments. Rooms are spacious and come with the perks you would expect from this type of place: snacks replenished daily,... More

This is the best hotel I have ever stayed in! An amazing resort for a honeymoon, very nice and friendly staff, they organized surprises for our honeymoon and for my husband's birthday. We had an incredible dinner at the beach one full moon night as a wedding gift from the hotel! We stayed at a deluxe water studio and WOW!... More

We travelled in April 2012, originally we had booked a one bedroom water pavilion but since the hotel was still not fully complete we ended up staying in a Deluxe water studio. We arrived tired and weary from our flight and it was a great touch to have a lounge at the seaplane port. It set the tone for the... More

We were very excited to be visiting Niyama from all the reviews and marketing we had seen prior to visiting. To be No.1 in Tatler was no mean feat as there are many islands to choose from. We were expecting big things. As our flight was delayed for 4hrs things didn't start so well, but on arriving in Male and... More

The food was very tasty with lots of variety of choices especially the fresh fruits. Water sports was great, we used the jet-ski for 1 hour. Spa was enjoyable, both of us made use if it,... More

We just finished a one week stay at the over water pool villa at the Niyama and had our expectations exceeded. Very quiet with no motorized vehicles except for the electric golf carts the staff use to escort guests and service the resort. The entire island is easily walkable and there are no other resorts within many miles at the... More

This was our 4th time in the Maldives and first time to Niyama. The resort is fantastic, our water villa was spacious and excellent, service was friendly and helpful etc etc. My only main comment is that we came away feeling a bit 'ripped off'. The room rate itself was pretty high, even for the Maldives. However the 'extras' -... More

Designed like a modern day campsite, guests sit in specially designed pods surrounded by live cooking stations with dishes influenced by tribes from South America, Africa and Asia. Cooking methods include hot rock grills, asados and open flames. Per AQUUM’s Deli-In presents an a la carte menu of gourmet deli items such as ice creams, cheeses, olives, cold cuts and wines all pre-stocked in each Studio and Pavilion. The in-room popcorn makers with complimentary corn kernels add that additional element of fun.Fahrenheit is perfect for refreshing drinks throughout the day transforming into one of island hot spots at night with spectacular ocean and sunset views. ... more   less
