Niyama Maldives Reimagined: Discover the Next Chapter of Barefoot Luxury

Niyama Private Islands Maldives unveils its THIS IS NIYAMA transformation, revealing fully refurbished villas and facilities, elevated levels of luxury, immersive new guest experiences, and a refreshed sense of freedom – an invitation to live life unscripted and unbound.

Since opening in 2012, Niyama has carved out its identity in the Maldives through bold playfulness. Now, it evolves once more, blending effortless luxury with avant-garde design, surreal elements and one-of-a-kind experiences. The resort’s twin islands, Play and Chill, bring to life a new era of style and energy across villas, restaurants and leisure spaces.

Evolved Accommodations: A New Aesthetic

Villas across the resort now feature a lighter palette, new furnishings, contemporary comfort and upgraded technology. Expanded interiors provide more space to unwind. Beach villas glow with sunset tones and high-tech amenities, while overwater villas reflect the blues of sky and sea, offering serene views of marine life including reef sharks and the resident sea turtle. Each villa connects seamlessly to nature with floor-to-ceiling glass and outdoor bathing experiences quintessential to the Maldives.

Elevated Culinary Journeys

Dining reaches new heights at Nest, an avant-garde treetop restaurant redesigned to deepen guests’ connection with the surrounding jungle. Beneath the ocean’s surface, Subsix launches the world’s first underwater Nikkei tasting menu, delivering a five-course experience as otherworldly as its setting. Dune introduces a refreshed menu and chic poolside ambience, while sunset magic unfolds at the expanded Surf Shack, where surf, music, rum and community converge.

An Active Lifestyle on Guests’ Own Terms

Niyama celebrates freedom of choice, whether guests seek energising adventure or complete ease. With world-class surf accessible directly from shore, a resident pro, and unforgettable surf safaris, the resort offers the Maldives’ most luxurious surf experience. A new marine centre invites guests into hands-on conservation work guided by the resident biologist. Families benefit from an evolved kids’ club complete with a splash park, climbing wall, trampolines, sailing, snorkelling and mini-spa experiences.

“At Niyama, we want our guests to feel free – to explore, play and connect with kindred spirits and nature on their own terms,” says Hafidh Al Busaidy, General Manager. “Every detail has been rethought, and facilities and experiences evolved. THIS IS NIYAMA reimagines the Maldives experience, inviting guests to write their own stories.”

CHILL. PLAY. THIS IS NIYAMA.
