Overview
Set across two spacious private islands, appropriately named Play and Chill, connected only by a single wooden bridge across the Indian Ocean, Niyama Private Islands is a truly special Maldivian resort in the south-western atoll of Dhaalu. Surrounded by the Indian Ocean’s iconic blue topaz waters, Niyama offers guests the tranquillity and paradisiacal surroundings synonymous with the Maldives as well as a refreshing sense of discovery, stimulation and fun. The twin islands take barefoot luxury to an exotic new level with their distinctive edgy feel and extraordinary range of activities which allow the stylish, aspirational traveller to expand on the traditional Maldivian itinerary.The beauty of a dual island setting is that space at Niyama is in abundance. For those seeking solitude and privacy, Chill is home to the hotel’s DRIFT spa, a true sanctuary at sea with six over water treatment rooms all with soaring views across the ocean. From Chill, guests can also visit the hotel’s fine dining restaurant Edge which is set 1km out at sea and only accessible by boat. In addition, the hotel’s studios provide the perfect luxury hideaway in which to escape the stresses of everyday life. Spacious, stylish and secluded, the studios – whether on the beach or suspended above the water – take full advantage of the islands’ beautiful natural setting. Each beach studio comes with a Dhoni-shaped swing to relax in as the sun sinks into the sea, as well as private sun decks, open-air bathrooms and a butler service to ensure every need is catered for.Meanwhile, over on Play, the island encourages guests to do just that, to be active and to explore the island’s offerings such as dining in the treetops at Nest restaurant for a one of a kind gourmet experience or parting underwater at Subsix – an underwater palace of culinary delights and champagne breakfasts alongside views of parrot fish, moray eels and other exotic marine life. Also on Play island is Float – the ‘go to’ spot for PADI dives and water sports including parasailing, waterskiing, jetskiing, snorkelling, kayaking and windsurfing. Catamaran sailing, windsurfing and kitesurfing lessons are also available, for those wanting to brush up on your skills or are keen to try something new. In addition, Niyama is the only island in the Maldives with surf-able waves that break directly onto the beach and the new Surf Seaplane Transfer has further cemented the hotel’s reputation as a surfer’s paradise. In addition, unique to Niyama is the Caribbean themed surf shack which serves classic rum cocktails to the rhythm of reggae music – a popular spot for après-surf as the sun sets.Magical Maldivian service combined with stylish design, luxury villas and a host of fun dining experiences and activities, including private turtle and dolphin excursions, make Niyama Private Islands a refreshingly innovative Indian Ocean escape.
