Niyama Private Islands Maldives

Was our first time (me and my wife) and we have an amazing days at the Niyama! We were on care of Imthy, he guided and explained us in the best manner possible, already planning our come back:) thank you so much for everything all Niyamas’ team work definitely we have the best memories ever!

The place was amazing like haven! The staff Zaid&Salta , very very polite and kind really i appreciate all things that they do for us , amazing staff, food was very delicious the egyption night , really wow!! Everything was good thank you nyama 💕

Niyama Islands were beautiful which you expect from the Maldives but the service and kindness from everyone we met was amazing. Unforced exceptional service was experienced every where and by everyone. Zaid was an exceptional Thaku, Bonnie, Issy and Pretesh were exceptional in the restaurants. All the staff were great. The island is clean and immaculately maintained. We will definitely go back!

We have recently just returned from spending 11 days at Niyama over the festive period. We have been travelling to the Maldives for 20 years, mostly always over the festive period, and Niyama is the only island we have ever revisited after having such a fantastic experience the first time, and once again they did not disappoint. We have two teens (16 and 14) and stayed in two water villas. From the moment we arrived we were asked about what timed we prefer our rooms to be cleaned and without fail our rooms were cleaned twice a day immaculately at exactly those times. On our very first breakfast my wife expressed that she likes to eat papaya every morning, this was met by “done’ from Chef Pradeep who ensured there was a platter of fruit waiting for us every breakfast - wow. Thank you Chef Santosh for cutting up the fruit and making our nutella crepes every morning, with extra Nutella! A few days in and I tasted the Dosa’s and I immediately was obsessed! after telling Pritesh how good they were he informed Chef Kuran who then made us fresh dosa’s every morning even when we were at a different restaurant! On our 3rd day we met Moses at the Tribal restaurant whom my son still talks about, apparently no one else can cook meat as good as him now! Then there was Chef Adham who we met on the Arabic night, after this he went out of his way to make us fresh plates whenever we saw him! The expert cheffing at this resort speaks volumes along with the attention to detail. As we had been here before there was a group of staff members who actually remembered us and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed whenever they saw us. It was like being around family! Huge special thanks to Xim, Shaad, Ali, Asso, Faz and Chef Said. You spoilt us graciously, nothing was too much for you right down to the colour of our chips. It was truly heartbreaking to say goodbye to you all. To celebrate our recent wedding anniversary I had organised a private dinner through our thakaru Zaid. Our chef Rohan not only entertained us with his culinary skills but also his rapping skills, which he happily freestyled for us - our children were ecstatic to say the least! We later found out that Zaid had also arranged a special surprise for us in our villa! It was very sweet. Zaid, you were one of the best thakaru we have ever had, your attention to detail and to us 24/7 was impressive. You listened to our every word with great attent even in our jestful conversations and remembered everything! Our magic genie for sure! Lastly we wanted to say thank you to Shaan over at water sports who kept our teens busy and looked out for them , we were sorry we didn’t get to say goodbye properly. Thank you Charlie and Redy who made our mocktails perfectly every night (medium sugar). We also had the pleasure of meeting Nao, wow this goodbye was hard - this was more than customer service this was genuine love. We have finally found our forever island, and if the above wasn’t enough the actual beauty of the island is also breathtaking, yes just like you see in the pics. Just to highlight there is a teens room and you all get personalised bikes also. P.s Imran the Coconut Man is truly part of the island, make sure you all say hi! Until the next time Niyama, inshallah. Junaid

We book this Resort trusting Minor reputation standards and we couldn’t do better . Quality of the Villas and service in it was superlative, nothing is never a trouble. 2 islands to choose from in the same resort plenty of sport activities from surfing to tennis and despite the island is busy you feel very few guests are in. A good F&B choice of Restaurant and bars to choose from , great quality of breakfast . Cherry on the cake is their Asian concept Nest Restaurant on top of their strangle figa trees , simply OUTSTANDING. Buffet Restaurant choice could improve but still good quality to be in Maldives . P.S. just remove Russian translation in the buffet tags… not very elegant as Maldives is not a Russian territory. Villa are kept very well , very well equipped nothing is missing or needed. The service throughout the island is excellent , competence and professionalism could be felt in any corner with any encounter , even the coconut boy is a great surprise. Niyama is the only Island in Maldives that offers fresh coconut free of charge to its guests… smart idea Congrats to the Management of the Island to keep a great spirit amongst employees and guests . All in All one of the best Resorts in Maldives.
