Niyama Private Islands Maldives

Greatest resort on earth! Staff was great. Beach villa with private pool, outside shower, private path to the beach.....Every morning a breakfast feast! The chef, Jeffrey, catered to us like Royalty. Our butler, our friend, Simon, was great. You could tell behind the scenes, the resort manager, Didi was hands on and crazy attentive. Spa massage was heaven. Scuba diving unreal. All GREAT! !

Amazing two islands to explore, gorgeous beaches, and attentive fun service from the staff. Downsides: the smell of diesel from incoming planes tinged the air several times each day. Water is also desalinated on the island and either diesel or plane fuel tints the water (smelly). Our room had sewage issue so the bathroom had a rank smell. Know the costs, meals will be about $2-300 for 2, budget about $1000/day. Restaurants were great but I personally got food sickness from Edge, Tibal was our favorite. I booked Per Aquum partly as they were listed as VIP+ Expedia member but I received no room upgrade, zero benefit, not even recognized at time of check in, a bit of a scam. Can't say I'd go again but did enjoy our time there.

The resort should look into adding more vegetarian options in the menu. They will do a custom vegetarian meal for you, but having it on the menu will help as well.

The hotel and island is absolutely stunning with just the right amount of things to do around the island and wonderful restaurants for lunch and dinner. The staff are unbelievably friendly and made the stay that much more enjoyable. Water villas were private and clean and extremely spacious. The cleaning service is also very attentive and very sweet. One of the best experiences of our lives!

First time to Maldives and we chose this resort purely based on the recommendation from Tripadvisor and other hotel websites and it didnt let us disappointed but have wonderful and unforgettable experience in Maldives. We have chosen a pool villa. The room is super big and tidy, well equipped, and with private pool and massage pool. Also, u can down straight to the ocean that you can do swimming and snorkelling immediately from your room. Life jacket is also available, or if you want to let snorkelling equipment, you can just request and voice out. Also, even in front of the ocean, there is high degree of privacy that you can enjoy both of your honeymoon without anyone disturbing. Another suprise is there is a chinese / cantonese speaking house guide to mange and help you all the stay in hotel that suprisingly we didnt speak much English on the Islands. There are mainly 4 restaurants in the Islands, each of them has its own specialty and with different pricing level, of which two of them, namely Nest and Edage are the highly recommended one, even though the prices are bit higher than the others. We recommend you should spend at least one night in each of them. We also do cycling and snorkelling, a must do activites here in this resort. Overall the experience here is excellent and superb and we have no doubt to recommend all of you to have your wonderful holidays in this resort. Finally, special thanks to our guide, Shirley, who have wholeheartedly taken care of us and

It was an awesome trip! Nothing beats Niyama when comes to service, their services are certainly difference from the others because of the personal touch and friendliness, including the place itself it's just like a paradise and food is too good to be true, we really enjoyed our trip and can't wait already to go again. It is worth to pay this price for everything, you will never regret it.

This was our first time in Maldives and had a great stay at Niyama. The resort is set on 2 beautiful islands with a bridge in between. There are 4 restaurants and a takeaway deli which provides plenty of alternatives. The nicer restaurants are quite expensive but, having said that, we would still recommend trying them. The staff were brilliant and we were made to feel very welcome. The waiters and waitresses at breakfast were always cheerful and provided good conversation and would provide information and tips to help us know more about the resort and the Maldives. Our 'Thakaru' was pleasant and helpful. The guys who took us out on a snorkelling excursion were friendly and helped us have a great time. All in all, the staff who we saw and spoke to day in day out were really nice. We enjoyed the daily events organised by the resort like drinks on the Tuesday evening at sunset. We also appreciated the efforts made by the staff when things crop up such as our flight delay. We were impressed with the flexibility and intuition of some of staff. The rooms were top class. We split our stay in a beach villa and then a water villa. The villas were spacious, well-equipped, well-furnished and set beautifully on the beachside or out in the sea. Our water villa was blessed with a perfect view of the sunrise.

This will blow away the highest of your expectations

Fantastic stay and great chefs!
