The moment you arrive at Niyama Private Islands Maldives, you know you’re somewhere special. From Subsix, the world’s first underwater restaurant, to Drift, its decadent spa, every aspect of the award-winning resort is exquisitely designed to ensure you have the holiday of a lifetime.
Recognising that not everyone wants the same from a holiday, the resort is spread across two islands, Chill and Play, joined by a wooden bridge.
Chill offers a tranquil retreat, with soothing spa treatments and offshore culinary experiences, and is great for couples. The accommodation on this island is a mix of beach and overwater villas.
Play, in contrast, is more geared towards family fun and activities. Here you’ll find Niyama’s award-winning kids’ club, exciting treetop restaurant, and swimming pool. On Play, the accommodation is beach villas only.
