The islands themselves are an oasis full of greenery. And I have never seen beaches like those in Niyama on any island in the Maldives (I’ve been to many places). Also, the most important thing in this resort is the people, the staff. You still need to look for such a warm relationship! My greatest gratitude to Imthy (Thakuru Service), who was always in touch and helped me during my stay. Also Imthy helped me a lot with a comfortable return flight. By the way, on the way back I flew by domestic plane rather than by seaplane, and it was more comfortable! Also, I would like to especially thank Carmi for her kindness and help in everything. Ao - for my best massage ever! And, of course, Niyaz for his service at dinner. Niyama - Resort where you can meet everything you wish to catch on Maldives: underwater restaurant, outstanding villas, sunsets, beaches, surfing, bicycles with your own name :) This place you want to come back for sure.

Everyone was amazing with us and our baby! The island is beautiful and every detail there is perfect and aids in protecting the nature and its environment. The restaurants offer great variety of food and drinks and different options depending on dietary restrictions or preferences. Guests have bikes available to help move around the island or pick up service available with a golf cart upon request. We chose to use the bikes and they even had one with our baby's name and a baby seat set up for her. The staff is amazing. We could write a list with every single employee's name - from the person cleaning the room, fixing and cleaning the roads in the morning, restaurant staff, our thakuru and kids club staff but here are a few: Imthi (24/7 the best vibe, help planning the day and best welcome ever), Issy, Ao, Nuriya (amazing welcome every time we went dining and warmed our hearts with all the love and care for our baby), Tinu and Ninety (great service at the restaurants), Asanka (great service at the restaurant but also always thinking ahead of us and bringing towels, water, drinks at the pool), Sameera (best vibe, service and super fun playing with our baby at the surf shack). The waves weren't very consistent due to the windy this time of the year but there are several other options and adventures there. We will definitely consider going back there soon! Read Less
