The Maldivian equivalent of a “lobby.” You disembark from the seaplane right on the jetty, where the entire staff greets you with fresh juice and cold towels.
Because the resort is so spread out, guests have plenty of space and privacy.
One of Niyama’s most unique offerings? It is home to the world’s first underwater nightclub, Subsix. The space—which also hosts champagne brunches and private dining—is just a five-minute pontoon ride from the hotel.
Niyama’s white sand beaches are impeccable… and the calm water is best enjoyed in the company of a flamingo float.
Like everything else at Niyama, even the bathtubs are equipped with breathtaking views.
The area is generally known for having flawless service, and at Niyama it’s no different. A staffer guests informally refer to as “the coconut guy” travels around the resort by bike offering fresh coconut water to sunbathers throughout the day.
The quintessential Maldives photo: a jetty flanked on either side by overwater villas.
Each overwater suite has direct access to the lagoon, as well as a private pool.
Lunch at the al fresco lounge, Dune, becomes a daily ritual for many guests.
At Niyama, guests have the option to partake in a number of activities—or, alternatively, you can do absolutely nothing at all. One experience on offer is parasailing, which promises a bird’s eye view of the Maldives’ signature coral atolls.
After a busy day at the beach, there’s no better place to unwind. Seen here: the private pool and sundeck of a water studio suite.
Yes, the staff at Niyama are unbelievably friendly—and it turns out the hermit crabs are too.
