Hotel details
Just 45 minutes by sea plane from Male, the Maldivian resort of Niyama offers visitors an oasis from the hustle and bustle of modern life and a glimpse of Eden.
Ideal for both families and those seeking a playground in paradise, the resort offers 134 fabulous private Villas and pavilions all set on or over the the ocean. With private pools, cocktail bars, jacuzzis, entertainment systems and fully-stocked refrigerators, no wish remains unanswered here.
Entertainment and excellent food and drink mix seamlessly at Niyama: guests can unwind with a cocktail and an unforgettable sunset on the ‘Fahrenheit’ rooftop bar or enjoy the vibe at the ‘Tribal’ restaurant, under a canopy of stars. The tastes of Africa meld easily here with those of the Middle East and South America for an unforgettable experience. And floating 500 metres offshore is the ‘Edge’, Niyama’s excellent signature restaurant, which itself hovers above the world’s first underwater nightclub ‘Subsix’. This amazing subterranean night spot offers the best international beats together with fantastic views of the ocean floor through the glass walls.
Understandably, the resort offers a myriad of unmissable watersport activities, including the chance to dive and visit a marine biology lab for coral rehabilitation and education. And for those who choose to use every minute available in this unrivalled retreat, the resort’s ‘DRIFT’ spa and ‘Pump’ gym stay open 24 hours a day.
