Maldives Paradise: Your Invitation to Chill & Play

Accessible by a 40-minute seaplane ride from Malé, Niyama Maldives was previously part of the AKV group but is now owned exclusively by the Anantara group. This stunning resort is composed of interconnected Natural Twin Islands, Play and Chill. Along with the diving spot and Underwater Restaurant, Niyama offers luxurious experiences tailored to your desires.

On Play Island, families can play in the treetops and dash towards the endless horizon. The beachfront villas elevate your stay, designed specifically for adventurous newlyweds, active couples, and stylish families.

On Chill Island, couples indulge in the nurturing embrace of the Niyama spa and savor the culinary delights of the overwater restaurant. Slow down and rejuvenate your soul in intimate overwater suites while lounging.

Island Pros:

1Diverse Dining: An overwater bar, underwater restaurant, treehouse restaurant, and African restaurant offer a variety of culinary experiences.
2Kid-Friendly Facilities: Both main pools offer dedicated children's areas. Additionally, a kids' menu and buffet are available.
3Indian Ocean's biggest kids' club: The resort boasts the largest children's club in the Indian Ocean, led by a prestigious English educational institution.
4Direct Surf Access: One of the best surfing spots in the Maldives!

Island Cons:

1Not the Most Serene Setting: While the resort offers a vibrant family atmosphere, especially on Play Island, it may be less ideal for those seeking a secluded getaway.

Important Travel Tips for Visiting Maldives

How do you choose the perfect resort in Maldives?

Cost & Budget: Depending on the price, there are different levels of quality, with the Maldives offering a range from relatively affordable accommodations to ultra-luxurious options. The most basic are a 4-star resorts, and then the categories rise to 5-star, 6-star, and 7-star levels.

Travel Purpose: Consider the purpose of your trip and who you are traveling with—friends, family, or as a couple. Understanding your travel purpose and needs will help you select the most suitable accommodation for your Maldives experience.

Location and Access: Consider how you want to travel to the resort. The resorts close to the Male International Airport have speedboat transfers, which are generally faster and cheaper. Those who are in other atolls need a transfer by seaplane or domestic flights, which are more expensive, but also allow you to enjoy impressive views from the air.

Type of Accommodation: Decide if you prefer an over-water villa or a beachfront villa. Each type offers a different experience and views. Over-water villas provide direct access to the sea and are quite private, while beachfront villas offer easy beach access and often come with private pools.

Dining Options: The Maldives resorts typically operate on one of four meal plans: BB (bed & breakfast), half board (breakfast and dinner included), full board (breakfast lunch, and dinner included), or a all-inclusive (all meals and beverages included). Consider your dining preferences and whether you'd like to explore different cuisine options within the resort.

Maldives

A special island!

Niyama Resort in the Maldives was an exceptional experience. The two islands are beautifully lush with tall palms and pristine beaches. The dining options, like Tribal and Nest, provided impressive culinary experiences. The underwater restaurant, SUBSIX, was visually stunning. The villa was spacious, well-designed, and offered excellent sleep quality with its ability to block out light completely. What stood out the most was our personal assistant, Yulia. Her attention to detail, enthusiasm for the resort, and genuine hospitality were truly outstanding - among the best service I've encountered in the Maldives. Niyama is a paradise, and Yulia exemplified the resort's commitment to excellence. Also shoutout to Haudy at the airport, Anne and Subira at the restaurants for their genuine service.

A family haven for chill and play

Niyama is paradise. We came as a family of 4 with young kids. We all needed time as a family to be taken care of, take a step back from the hustle of the world, and re connect. It went beyond all our wildest dreams because of the staff. The villas were wonderful, the beaches pristine, the food was delicious, yes. But it was the staff that welcomed us with open hearts, played with our children, and made us feel truly cared for that really made the luxury difference.

I’ll also add the following amazing experiences that really elevated our stay: Family SUP yoga with Emily Moak; spa experiences with therapist May and nurse Arun combined with direction Kannan ensuring our children felt pampered also; our Thakuru Aly taking care of our every need; Shushan giving a non-intimidating introduction to surfing for me and our 6 year old; chef Pradeep for amazing food and kindness; Raufa and the kids club for above and beyond experiences at kids club (including dolphin watching!); and Imran the coconut man for teaching our kids about nature, letting them plant coconut trees, and making us feel like family.

We are not normally a “resort family”. We prefer adventure travel, cultural experiences, and are constantly on the go. We were quite nervous that we would get bored in 10 days on an island, but we were so, so wrong. It’s truly the perfect combination of chill and play, and we will be returning to Niyama for years to come.
