About this stay

Staying at Niyama Private Islands Maldives means waking up to sea views from your private balcony, with the beach just steps away. The resort is spread across two islands, offering a sense of space and privacy. Days can be spent exploring the house reef, diving into the clear waters, or unwinding at the spa. The infinity pool provides a refreshing escape, while the sun terrace is perfect for soaking up the Maldivian sun. Dining is a highlight, with a family-friendly restaurant serving a variety of international cuisines, from African to Thai, ensuring every palate is catered to throughout the day.

Our take

Niyama Private Islands Maldives stands out for its two-island layout in Dhaalu Atoll and an exceptional 9.7 guest score. Beachfront villas, an infinity pool, a house reef, diving and a full spa give couples and families plenty of variety without leaving the resort. It suits travellers who want a polished, active private island; those after a tiny, intimate hideaway may find it larger and busier than a single-island boutique resort.

  • ✓Explore the house reef early in the morning for the best snorkeling experience.
  • ✓Take advantage of the diverse dining options, trying different cuisines throughout your stay.
  • ✓Book a spa treatment to fully unwind and enjoy the wellness facilities.

Why we love it

  • Private beach access and beachfront location
  • Infinity swimming pool with sun terrace
  • Family-friendly dining with varied cuisines
  • Excellent house reef for snorkeling and diving
Why guests love it

Niyama's two-island layout gives families more beach and more space than most resorts. Teenagers can dive the house reef with the dive team while younger children snorkel in the shallows near the shore, and the infinity pool and sun terrace offer a break from the sea. Guests rate it 9.7. Our editorial view: use the resort's bikes or buggies between the islands, and pick a beach villa if you travel with small children.
