With twin islands Play and Chill, Niyama Private Islands Maldives offers you the true luxury of choice, with everything expected from and island resort and so much more.

Chill is true to its name. You can discover the new depths of relaxation at the Drift Spa or take in a movie under the stars. Just off the coast, enjoy a fine dining experience at Edge, accessible only by speedboat, while Subsix invites you the world’s finest underwater seafood restaurant and night club.

Play provides delightful diversions for those looking for more active pursuits. On the water, you can kayak around the islands or discover why Niyama Private Islands Maldives is among the hottest surfing destinations. Bicyclists can explore the island at their own pace, perhaps lured by the aromas for the chef’s spice gardens.

Privacy is paramount at Niyama. Every one of Niyama Private Islands Maldives provides a secluded retreat, even at full capacity. The inviting waters in and around the islands are literally at your feet, from the beach front villas to the over-water pavilions, to the extravagant entourage experience at the Crescent.

Year-Round Surfing in the Maldives at its Best

The only luxury resort in the Maldives with its own wave breaking onto the shore. Vodi wave is just off the shore of  Play Island and is a powerful and sometimes hollow left hander. Off to the west and five minutes away by speedboat, Kasabu is a rippable and hollow right hander. Beginners can learn with the resorts instructors in the lagoon and there are several other surf spots in and around the Dhaalu Atoll that can be reached by speedboat or seaplane.

The Maldives has some of the best waves in the world and endless surf breaks but whereas the country’s surf season is from April to November, surfing can be enjoyed year-round at Niyama with Vodi accessible simply by paddling out from the beach. Surfers  can expect great surf throughout the year with bigger surf from March to November and no crowds.
