We were very excited to be visiting Niyama from all the reviews and marketing we had seen prior to visiting. To be No.1 in Tatler was no mean feat as there are many islands to choose from. We were expecting big things. As our flight was delayed for 4hrs things didn't start so well, but on arriving in Male and... More

We stayed over valentine's day for 10 days, fullboard. The staff were very helpful and funny at times, GM Nigel was nice & professional. The food was very tasty with lots of variety of choices especially the fresh fruits. Water sports was great, we used the jet-ski for 1 hour. Spa was enjoyable, both of us made use if it,... More

We just finished a one week stay at the over water pool villa at the Niyama and had our expectations exceeded. Very quiet with no motorized vehicles except for the electric golf carts the staff use to escort guests and service the resort. The entire island is easily walkable and there are no other resorts within many miles at the... More

The title says it all good not great it is a five star resort but there are some small things that could be improved upon. The location is beautiful and on a remote southern atol 40 minutes south of Male by sea plane all good fun if you have never done it before . The island itself is one of... More

This was our 4th time in the Maldives and first time to Niyama. The resort is fantastic, our water villa was spacious and excellent, service was friendly and helpful etc etc. My only main comment is that we came away feeling a bit 'ripped off'. The room rate itself was pretty high, even for the Maldives. However the 'extras' -... More

The gym was lovely - great staff I think we went to call the stretch classes while we were there - and a few others. Great food, the Asian night was a highlight. Tribal restaurant a nice change and the champagne... More

We never thought we would be writing a review, but Niyama resort and spa in the Maldives took our breath away. After a long flight from California, we were greeted immediately by a representative from Niyama at Airport in Male. He then escorted us to a shuttle bus to a lounge that offered full refreshments, while we waited for the... More

A fantastic resort, which certainly sets the bar for resorts in the Maldives. We stayed in a water villa, which was huge, very well maintained and private. Pros -- though a 45min flight from Male, the lounge at the arrival is great to acclimatize in from a long flight -- the island setting, beaches etc are all breathtaking -- rooms... More

This is my third trip to the maldives and this island is simply stunning. I won't compare to the other islands I've been to as they are so far flung from this resort, it simply wouldn't be a fair comparison! We are currently staying in a deluxe water and the room and the views from the room are exquisite, the... More
