Niyama Private Islands Maldives

Alex Ramirez

Niyama is the best place we’ve ever stayed and visited. The island and resort exceeded our expectations on every level. All of the staff were warm, attentive and genuinely caring. We have really missed them since leaving. We felt very well taken care of as a family of 4. The food was great, and we are harder to please given our dietary requirements and love of fresh and wholesome food, but all the restaurants provided incredible dining experiences. We loved cycling around the island. The surf was great and consistent. All the buildings and literally every aspects of the island and resort is a feast for the eyes. We just want to be back there and we look forward to our return. We actually extended our trip, and wish we could have stayed even longer. We planned to visit other countries and places for future holidays, but it will be a challenge to pass up an opportunity to go back to Niyama. A big shout out to our Thakuru, Ammi. Mo the chef, Riza and Mita from the restaurants. And Shimaal the attentive waiter.

Our honeymoon at Niyama was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, every single moment exceeded our expectations. The Over Water Villa was absolutely breathtaking. Waking up every morning surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise waters, enjoying the incredible views, and having direct access to the ocean was an unforgettable experience. The villa was luxurious, beautifully designed, and offered complete privacy—it truly felt like our own piece of paradise. A very special thank you goes to Sam, our personal host, who made our honeymoon completely stress-free. He took care of everything for us, from restaurant reservations and activities to answering every request with genuine kindness and professionalism. He was always available, incredibly friendly, and made us feel truly special throughout our stay. The entire Niyama team was outstanding. Everyone welcomed us with warm smiles and exceptional hospitality, making us feel at home from day one. Every restaurant offered an amazing dining experience with outstanding food, beautiful locations, and excellent service. The activities were equally unforgettable—from snorkeling with incredible marine life to all the unique experiences the resort has to offer. Every day brought something new and exciting. Niyama is truly a slice of paradise and the perfect destination for a honeymoon. We created memories that will stay with us forever, and we cannot thank the team enough for making this once-in-a-lifetime trip so special. A heartfelt thank you to Sam and everyone at Niyama. We cannot wait to come back!

What an incredible island, covered in lush greenery and abundant palm trees, all beautifully maintained! ​We stayed in a beach villa with a private pool, which was stunning. We were amazed by how kid-friendly the island is; the villa had everything we needed for our 7-month-old. ​Food & Service: Whether dining at the buffet or ordering à la carte, the food was incredible. The buffet offered so much variety that we never got bored. The service team—Yasin, Ali, Dewa, Lee, Ibbe, Denham, and everyone else—was simply amazing. They always went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, always greeted us with a smile, and made us feel right at home. Also thanks to imran ( Mr. Coco) for all the entertainment. ​Special Touches: They provided bicycles at our villa personalized with our names, which made exploring the island so special and fun! 🥰 ​Our wonderful Thakuru, Sam, was always available to ensure we had a fantastic stay and handled all our restaurant reservations seamlessly. He even picked us up for meals since my mother-in-law couldn't ride a bike. Sam also gave us great recommendations for places to explore and activities to enjoy during our stay. ​A huge thank you to GM Haff and his incredible team for making our trip so unforgettable. ​We highly recommend Niyama and will definitely return. It is truly our favorite island in the Maldives! 🥰

An amazing resort in every way! We had a wonderful experience from beginning to end. The service was exceptional and incredibly fast. Anything we requested through WhatsApp was arranged almost immediately, which made our stay so comfortable and easy. A special thank you to the wonderful team at Blu Restaurant, especially Mita, Sami, and another lovely tall young lady whose name unfortunately slipped my mind. They were always smiling, welcoming, and so kind to our family. A big thank you as well to Chef Saeed from Egypt. He was incredibly kind, cheerful, and wonderful with our children. He always did his best to accommodate our requests, and if something wasn’t possible that day, he would remember and prepare it for us the next day. 🤍 Some of our children became unwell during our stay, and the resort took such good care of us. The doctor checked on them several times, and the entire team was always ready to help, which we truly appreciated. Finally, a very special thank you to Imthy and Yousef, our wonderful Thakurus (personal hosts). They helped us with reservations, activities, recommendations, and anything else we needed throughout our stay. They made everything easy and stress-free, and their service was truly five-star. Thank you to the entire Niyama team for making our family vacation so special and memorable. We would absolutely love to return!🤍

We had the opportunity to spend our vacation in this beautiful resort. We were very pleasantly surprised by the resort's beautiful nature. A well-groomed and clean island. We had villa number 21. For us, it was on the most beautiful part of the island. I highly recommend lunch at the underwater restaurant Subsix. Great food, perfect space. Very nice staff: Takura Sam. Staff at Epicur Dewa, Fathik, Putu and many others. Every day, a man nicknamed Kokosman spread good mood and coconuts around the island 😀. We were extremely satisfied with the services on the island. The villa was perfectly cleaned twice every day. Very tasty and high-quality food.
