Why stay here
An island opened in 2012, positioned as high-end and fashionable. Rooms are very large, beds are very comfortable, hotel hardware is good, and dining quality is also high. The beach sand is excellent; as for snorkeling, because the area around the island is mainly lagoon, it is not very good. Staff are all very enthusiastic. NIYAMA has now changed its original underwater bar into an underwater restaurant, which you can also experience. Composed of two independent small islands, a unique experience, with an underwater bar, very suitable for honeymoon travel. NIYAMA has a unique surfing point, right at the edge of the island you can catch perfect waves, which also makes it the most convenient island for surfing in the Maldives, without exception. Coupled with the unique Jamaican music bar atmosphere, a unique experience only at NIYAMA.
Highlights
NIYAMA is modern and fashionable, composed of two independent small islands, one called CHILL mainly for honeymoon guests, and one called PLAY island, mainly for family guests. The classification is very reasonable, rooms are comfortable and spacious, there are many dining choices, quality is superior, and the overall experience is very good. Guests who like surfing must not miss it!
Before you go
The snorkeling environment is rather average, not suitable for friends with high snorkeling requirements.
