    ...Our only critical points are we thought Subsix was far over the top for the menu and price. Incredible views of course, but we don’t often eat a 300 dollar meal and still feel hungry... They are trying too hard - gold leaf, caviar and foam on the dishes was a little OTT and we think designed for a different sort of client!... Also thought some simple activities were a little too expensive - 500 bucks for 2 adults and 2 kids to go snorkelling for 45 mins is a little unjustified... However, on the other hand a scuba dive was good value and amazing off the reef wall – lots of turtles to see... We got the impression that the culture of the management and Pierre with the staff was really good and all are treated well... It is very expensive being the Maldives, however, it has bought memories that we will treasure forever...

This hotel could be world class if they made a few changes but our stay was good just not exceptional for the price...

    ...If you travelled to Male with lots of luggage be prepared for extra charge for the seaplane... An upgrade from half board to fully inclusive will cost about 1000 dollars a day... The restaurants offer either a buffet meal or a la carte... A la carte provides an amazing selection but at a price, and were usually empty... The under water restaurant only serves lunch and we were advised to cost a thousand dollars for two... All drinks were expensive with a bottle of water over 10 dollars and a bottle of beer at 13 dollars...

We had a $50 credit per person at the other restaurants which hardly covered anything tbh...

    ...Definitely a rip off , after spending a lot of money for the room you discover that you have just started spending money . All the restaurants and activities are definitely overcharged , super charged extra charged ... So to all the people that come to Maldives and have stayed even 6 times at nyiama , you should do your search and be a bit adventurous and try a different resort , you might be pleasantly surprised that there are better places at a better price ... I have to say that the staff was amazing though , my regards to Pierre and Asanka , you are really nice , god bless ... I won’t be coming back here for sure , the Maldives I am coming soon ...

    ...The next special thing about this resort is the service. Our battle Davron was very polite and ready to assist with everything... He made group chat in what’s app and we just wrote him to take us somewhere with buggy or to book a restaurant-very convenient... When we arrived we realized that the location of our villa was not convenient for us as seaplane was landing and made noise and the manager Halima was so nice to provide us with the villa upgrade, so appreciated!...

    Since the second we arrived it has been the most pleasant stay. Our Thakuru Sameen was extremely helpful and ensured our stay was amazing... We stayed in the water villa and it was phenomenal... We also got a complimentary photoshoot (our photographer was Oreo) and the pictures turned out spectacular... By far it is the best experience we have ever had considering the amount of travel we both have already done... You get escorted right off the airport by a Niyama worker straight to the lounge until your next domestic/seaplane transfer... Really smooth travel to the Niyama resort... Overall, I’d rate this place 11/10 if I could and this all wouldn’t have been possible without the really friendly and hardworking Niyama staff... Thank you Niyama for making this an unforgettable experience!...

    ...The beauty of this hotel can be judged from the pictures, but what really makes it special is the staff... And the fact that the staffs manage to create such a warm and kind atmosphere for us determines our choice... I want to thank our Thakuru Davron for helping us very quickly in all matters... All our requests and desires were fulfilled very quickly... Khalima also helped me very sensitively... I also want to thank Nuriya from the Epicure restaurant... Even when the restaurant was fully loaded, she was always able to promptly invite us to the table... But most of all I want to mention our waiter Naseeh... This person managed to create a holiday atmosphere for us... The children were so happy about his surprises that he made for them... And he was always very attentive to us and gave us a good mood... Naseeh has a unique talent to feel what his guest needs...

    Niyama private island resort didn’t fail to live up to our expectations. It was the first part of our honeymoon and we were immediately made to feel welcomed by our brilliant Thakuru, Imthi... He truly understood what we wanted quickly and was very helpful and pleasant throughout our stay... He helped with making reservations we wanted in restaurants such as Nest, Edge & the Main restaurant in the evenings... Particularly liked the shower and toilet where you could see fish swimming by which was an experience...

Food was excellent, enjoyed the Epicure main restaurant where we were very well looked after by Saleem who took care of our daughter’s dairy free needs... Throughout our stay, Davron was exceptional, he created a WhatsApp group for us to book excursions and restaurants etc... he also surprised us with a complimentary champagne sunset beach event... Niyama is a bucket list destination where you get made to feel truly special... Big thanks to Davron and Saleem for looking after us so we’ll and making our trip so enjoyable...

    ...In the several hotels I visited through my life around the globe , I rarely had this quality of warm welcoming and constant attention to my well-being. A part from being one of the few islands in Maldives where the natural jungle has been preserved , a part from the very comfortable villas, a journey on an island is all about the food the activities and the service : After a few journeys in Maldives , in different places, this one is way above if you are putting some focus on food and beverages ... However, I would like to pay a particular tribute on the service of each and everyone who’s working there: everybody was friendly, warm, available , and made me feel like in the dream home... I’ve already been in may venues where the staff know their sequences of service perfectly, but here it’s beyond ...

    ...We had the most amazing experience from the moment we arrived at the airport in Male. We were greeted by Niyama's team who led us into a lounge where we had access to drinks and snacks before our seaplane flight to the private island... Once we arrived at the island, we were again greeted and escorted to our villa as well as given a tour of the island by our thakaru, Shanun... Shanun went above and beyond throughout our vacation which we were there to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday, even hand carving a gift that he presented to my husband upon our departure... He helped us make reservations for various dinners as well as us drove us around in a golf cart to take us wherever we needed to go that may have been too far to walk... We had bicycles delivered for our use throughout our stay... The food was incredible and service was outstanding...

    We had a great experience at Niyama during our stay at the Water Pool Villa. Staff was extremely friendly and hospitable... The buffet rotated it's menu daily, so that no two days were the same... Food and excursions were definitely pricey, but we enjoyed lounging in the room on the comfortable bed, swimming in our pool, or visiting the beach, where equipment is provided... Snorkeling gear was also complementary, though they are still working on restoring the corals...

We want to say thank you Niyama private Island Maledives for the magnificent time on this beautiful Islands. Mister Shanun and his team made this amazing experience memorable for a lifetime.From the first moment of our arrival any wish was fulfilled even before it was thought. Mr. Shanun had always great solutions and good ideas for any request, organizing everything and letting us have the best recreation. All of the friendly and courteous team but especially Mr. Shanun ensured we have everything we need to discover the fantastic resort and were 24 hours at our service. The resort itself offers so much to explore and to do that a week is not enough to get to know the basics. Our highlights were the daily bike tours, beach walk, snorkeling, sunset and surf explorations. We enjoyed he daily changing restaurants explorations, the wellness with its super friendly team, always having a fantastic view. Even in a rainfall, the colors of the water, forest, beach and sky were breathtaking. Also the different theme restaurants with all its friendly team did a fantastic job to let us experience all the taste of the world on the highest level of cuisine

We have just returned from the most amazing holiday. We arrived on the island to a very warm welcome from Pierre (resort manager ) and his staff. Every guest has their very own Thakuru assigned to them- we had Imithi who helped us organise our whole stay, which included our daughters 18th birthday celebrations. We are a family of swimmers, surrounded by the ocean and two pools we were very happy. We went on the coral garden snorkel tour with the Marine Biologist -Pippa, who is very passionate about her job and marine conservation. We also went to all three of her talks which were very informative and geared to all ages- would thoroughly recommend these. Our daughter took surf lessons with Malek, who was a great teacher as proven by the great photos taken by Naomi -the watersports photographer. For me the best way to start the day is with a swim and sun rise yoga- was not disappointed. Thank you to Lenate, Marcyl and Asanka who looked after us so well at breakfast and for the evening meals, at Blu and Epicure. Fine dining in the treetops and cocktails at the surf centre or at Edge are a must during your stay. We are definetly planning on returning . Thank you everyone for a very memorable holiday

My wife and I cannot even begin to describe how wonderful and awesome our trip to Niyama private island was. Right from the time we landed at the airport. We did even have to touch our luggage. It was delivered in our room straight from the airport. We got the most royal treatment we have ever experienced before. Our room, the food, our personalised bikes the spa and the massages were just out of the world. The restaurants were just amazing, the Edge. Subsix, Tribal and the nest were all memorable experiences. Our private butler, Fahud Thakru as they call them was phenomenal, most caring person we could have asked for. He would take care of the daily restaurants reservation and pick us up and drop us at moments notice. Overall a wonderful experience would definitely come back and recommend to friends as well

First time in the Maldives, with my family and our 1,5 year daughter. The island is 45 minutes away from Male airport, and it depends on the weather how the flight with the seaplane will be. But the scenic view with the seaplane was great. The Island is beautiful, but to be honest the most important and most valuable thing is beside villas and turquoise sea are the people working on the Island. Staff is excellent. We received the thakuru Shanun, and I believe we received the best guide. He was very appreciative and at service 24/7. Solving all the problems, in 5 minutes every where he should be when you need him. Imran the coconut guy is part of the whole journey. Everybody that comes to Niyama knows him :) Food is perfect since the new chef is Thierry, the professional chef from France. The villas are little bit older looking, it would be nice to refurbished them, but the jungle, roads and energy of the Island are out of this world. Very nice place, and good ration between price and value. See you soon, and thank you Shanun for being are friend, and to be a part of our beautiful journey

Impressive resort staff, I’m just speechless how high level of hospitality in this resort is. Upon arrival we had some issues with AC in our villa and our thakuru Shanun did everything what was in his power to make things right and not just that but whole our stay he was immaculate and full of surprise (Mr. Shanun thank your for that!). Where ever we dined all waiters were firstly professional and secondly so friendly and nice (although I had dozens of request regards my baby girl food menu). Resort its self is bit old and definitely needs improvements but nature around it is just stunning.

Fifth time in the Maldives, we found Niyama, to be the best yet. Special thanks to Zaid for the surprise birthday celebration on the beach, and for his daily support. Alim for the clean room and bed sculptures. Boni and Faiz for the friendly service and finally Imran the coconut guru hope he’s still feeding the crabs!!!
