What you love
Honestly a little lost for words,
I personally have never experienced anything like this trip before. I asked a million questions and was not the easiest customer I am sure to deal with, simply due to the fact I had never spent this much money on a trip before. Sylvia was exceptional in every way, always polite and answered every one of my questions. Her guidance and advice led my wife and I to having the best trip of our lives.
Everything was more than we expected, smooth, no hiccups and treated like royalty from start to finish. I simply cannot recommend Sylvia enough. Pay the extra, let Sylvia guide you through the process, take her advice and it will all be worth it, you will be rewarded with the trip of a life time and magical memories that will stay with you forever.
This holiday was everything and more that Sylvia had told us!
From the moment we landed in Male, we were greeted by the Seaplane company Sylvia had arranged and I thoroughly recommend doing it. They make your holiday to and from the Island seamless.
Every single staff member on Niyama was nice, helpful and loving! You get your own Butler who makes the magic happen whenever you need it. Nothing was ever a problem.
Each Villa comes with pushbikes and the ride around the island as well as to and from lunch, breakfast dinner and other activities is so relaxing.
The Villa’s come with endless water and ice-cream as well as a pop-corn machine, all for you to enjoy as it is in included in your stay.
The Villa’s are very private and you have your own beach front.
Food was amazing and the supply was endless. This was by far a great relaxing holiday and 200% recommend.
Definitely will come back there in the next future!!!
We stayed in Niyama with our 3 girls. Amazing place, amazing people, best kids club indeed. Nice relaxing vibes made our family holiday more than perfect, Best food and service in the Maldives by far.
Sylv was extremely helpful
Sylvia was extremely helpful for my wife and I to find the perfect island destination for our honeymoon. We had lots of questions and she was able to answer them promptly and often out of office hours which was beyond expected. She shared her personal experiences in conjunction with what we were hoping to achieve so it really helped lock down Niyama as the place we wanted to go. All expectations of Niyama Resort were met and we couldn’t have been happier with this getaway. Just now wishing it hadn’t ended!
Niyama
Niyama Private Island Resort is beautiful with beach villas mostly hidden in the lush vegetation. The villas are comfortable and the partly open air bathrooms are lovely. There are many dining options to choose from; all of a high standard. The surf team are great and the boards for hire of good standard. For non-surfers there is a daily schedule of complimentary activities such as yoga and aqua gym and a wonderful spa.
I truly had an amazing week
The resort really lives up to the highest standards. Besides the obvious luxury, they treat you very personal and the their surf program is by far the best, I’ve experienced in the Maldives. I loved every single Restaurant they had on the Island.
Thank you so much for getting me there!
Wow!!! This was truly amazing!
I have never wrote a review before, but Niyama deserves it! We went to Niyama on our honeymoon and it was the best decision we made. The GM Nigel greeted us with his staff when we landed and we got taken on a tour around the island. Later that afternoon we were invited to a cocktail party on the roof bar to watch the sunset and Nigel spent time getting to know everyone of his guests. The restaurant just of the island is a must to go to. We went at 5.15pm to have a cocktails and watch the sunset and it was truly amazing.I highly recommend going to Niyama for the best experience of the Maldives! I really can not wait to go back for our anniversary in the future.
We're back and wish we were still there
It was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.
I’ll give you more details later, but you must know this: I surfed almost everyday. Somedays were bad (wind). Other were Epic.
It’s astonishing how the swell behaves in Niyama (consistently overhead, somedays, like the day of the video I’m attaching, with 1,5 overhead set waves – so roughly 2 meters). I’m regular when surfing and the left was my playground (not because it was the resident wave but because it was SO good).
Keep in touch and thanks for everything, you were right, it was amazing.
What a truly beautiful resort, an amazing team, and good leadership make the experience so enjoyable
It’s by far the only place that I’ve really relaxed, yet enables you to keep in touch with the excellent Wi-Fi facilities. They have certainly found the formula, an exotic setting being backed up by a team that actually enjoy making your stay so enjoyable, from the excellent rooms, the wonderful dining, to the efficient administration, well done Nigel for your dedication in making it all possible. The resort should come with a warning however, once you arrive, you’ll definitely won’t want to leave! Thank You All
Paradise in every way....
From the moment you get into the NIYAMA lounge at the airport.All the staff were very friendly.The Restaurants are great, we had many Romantic dinners on the beach.. There is a underwater water night club sub six, with a fine dinning restaurant in the middle of the Ocean!! it’s the place to be!Great place to see Dolphins..They call NIYAMA natures’s playground.. This is very true…
Surfing Highlights
Vodi
A good quality, private and uncrowded left-hander off the resort that you can paddle out to any time. It works on all tides; mid to high tide offers the best conditions, but it’s still a fun wave and a good ride on a low tide. On big swells, you can get a nice almond barrell on take-off, and come out for a few more turns. Or you can easily avoid the barrell and just do turns for 100-150m.
Mauroofs (Kasabu)
A right-hander that works best on light north/northwest winds and a good southwest swell.
Hocus Pocus
Another wave that you can reach by boat from the resort – it’s a hollow, advanced right-hander. It needs west/south-west winds and a south-west swell which needs to be above 14 seconds for the swell to get into that break. It is quite shallow.

More watersports activities include: snorkellin, seabobbing, jetskiing,waterskiing, mono-skiing, wakeboarding, kneeboarding, catamaran, windsurfing and kitesurfing lessons.
Surfing
Dhaalu Atoll offers spots exposed to all wind directions and for all levels. There is always a left or a right hander well protected from the predominant south westerly wind directions, but south easterly or even easterly winds may affect all spots negatively. All spots are close to each other so you can change spots within a few minutes! Niyama offers the following surf services.: Surf Passes (2.5 hours out at the breaks, with guide and boat). Surf Lessons (2.5 hours for the beginner with instructor and includes board rental and boat). Tow Surfing (with jet ski at an extra charge) plus Surf Pass. Surfboard rental.
Surfboards
Please note that maximum size of surfboards allowed on Maldives domestic flights is 7 ft including the boardbag. However, 6.5ft is easier to accommodate. Furthermore, a full bag of 3-5 boards is extremely difficult for the sea plane to accommodate. However, no board bag gets left behind. In a situation where a surfboard gets bumped, it is put on the next available plane. Placing surfboards on a domestic flight while flying seaplane incurs and extra cost. All terms and fees for surfboards and luggage allowances are subject to change without a notice from the airlines.
