Few words about Niyama Hotel:
Amazing Villas, Amazing Service, Great Location !
The hotel is unbeatable in every aspect.
Muaz and Tom ,our room attendants, offered us an impeccable service. Next the wonderful and always smiling AO from the spa made our stay joyful. Was an honor for us to take classes with Mr Martin, the Martial Art Master. We highly recommend him. Great experience !
As to our thakaru Sameen, we're very grateful for how he treated us. He took care of us as a family, always with a personal touch. Very professional and committed to his job as a butler. Next time we're certainly ask for his service !

Qdo chegamos nosso quarto so fedia a morfo, tive logo asma. O pessoal nos relocou, mas os quarto estao caidos, estive la ha 4h e ta BFF em caido
Amazing experience from start to finish. Well organized registration. Great butler service. Amazing room and staff throughout were friendly without ever being overbearing. Great island for families to bike about and explore.
Our trip was planned as a "vacation of a lifetime," and it was everything expected plus more. The island is gorgeous with pristine Indian Ocean waters abound, and world-class service. The villas were amazing, spacious, and extraordinarily clean. The staff at Niyam was absolutely wonderful and you could feel the sense of service in their delivery. What was really nice was the opportunity to lay back and relax, or be very active with the many activities available on the island. We would come back in a heart beat and highly recommend this resort to anyone, families with children, adults, singles, anyone attempting to escape the craziness in our world.
Hotel sensacional!!!! Funcionários de uma simpatia e atenção que nunca presenciamos!!! Em especial Deny, Sau e Rafu!!!
Hotel atende todos os melhores requisitos!! Comida espetacular !!!!
The Maldives, in general, is absolutely spectacular. What makes Niyama special is the staff. The level of hospitality is really unbelievable. MANY people really stood out, but our Thakaru (Mahey), the Spa staff (Tara and May), the ENTIRE staff at Epicure (Kudy, Asso, and everyone else) really stood out as being the best of the best.
The only criticism I have is that we had one service issue at one of the restaurants. It was minor and was corrected easily. The really impressive thing is how eager the management is to receive constructive feedback. They even have a cocktail reception once a week for that specific purpose.
The food was outstanding (make sure to book Sub 6 in ADVANCE. Nest too. The facilities were GREAT. I initially didn't care about having a pool in an over-water villa, but I was WRONG. . .we used it multiple times per day.
On the excursions. . .we saw dolphins within 30 seconds of leaving the lagoon and we saw 4 turtles on the turtle quest. When we go back, we will do far more excursions. We are even considering getting SCUBA certified

Das Hotel ist sehr sauber und gut organisiert. Leider, könnte es für diese Preiskategorie wieder einmal renoviert werden. Ärgerlich war auch der Preis im Spa. Das alles sehr hochpreisig ist, weiß man im Vorhinein und ist völlig ok aber 530$ für 60 min Relaxmassage für zwei ? Ist etwas übertrieben...
Quarto completamente mofado e com cheiro muito ruim. Travesseiro com odor de mofo. Comida ruim a razoável. Esse hotel não é cinco estrelas. O ponto alto foi o atendimento da nossa hostess, Erin, que fez de tudo para nos servir da melhor forma possível.
Booked our honeymoon here....paid over $13k including the seaplane and food and we had the worst time ever......couldn't sleep at all ....very big storms .... we stayed 3 nights and after that we left home ..... the resort did not want to reimburse us for at least the nights that we didn't use.... very bad experience.......:(((((((((((((
O local e a estrutura do hotel são incríveis. O transporte por hidroavião direto até a ilha é muito legal, vale a experiência. O Thakuru (mordomo) está pronto pra te atender a qualquer momento. Todas minhas solicitações prévias a estadia foram atendidas, ainda ganhamos uma massagem e bolo pela comemoração da lua de mel. São 2 ilhas, você se locomove a maior parte do tempo com bicicletas no meio da mata sem dificuldade. A água é incrivelmente clara e quente, tem alguns locais para snorkel mas achei sem muita diversidade, você consegue ver babys sharks e arrais mesmo sem mergulhar, do deck dos bungalows. Varios restaurantes, Nest e Tribal são os destaques, comida excelente, vale a pena conferir, você recebe um crédito de 50 dólares para estes e outros restaurantes. O café da manhã no Epicure e Blu são bons com muita variedade, mas o jantar incluido na meia pensão não gostamos muito, são temáticos, muitas opções de comida mas acaba ficando um pouco enjoativos. As atividades são inúmeras, destaque para o Surf na esquerda clássica chamada Vodi, pegamos altas ondas, Nathan, Ricardo e Ananda nos receberam muito bem e te passam o boletim diário das ondas. Os quartos são fantásticos, ficamos alguns dias no bungalow que é sensacional em cima da água. Café, sorvete, água e alguns petiscos gratis, além de agua de coco são distribuidas na ilha. O quarto na vila não fica para trás, com banheiro enorme no meio da mata, e alguns passos da praia. Experiência incrível, recomendo.
Oh let's what there was to like 🤔
Oh how about everything? There was absolutely nothing horrible about our stay here. I went for my honeymoon and this place is worth every single dollar. Niyama is among the most southern of the resorts for the Maldives, and it does not disappoint. The views was stunning. We stayed in the deluxe over water villa, and the pictures can't even come close to doing justice to actually seeing it and being there. The room and bathroom are amazing and extremely modern. The staff also was able to accommodate my request as to maximize our privacy and get the best possible view of the sunset from our villa. Very friendly and welcoming staff.
Also the restaurants, there are 4 specialized restaurants there and we did one each day. The Subsix is probably the most unique experience I think, it's an underwater setting and extremely cool. I would recommend doing lunch there instead of dinner. The Edge is next to the Subsix and provides an experience in the Lagoon on its on platform over the water. You have to take a ferry from a dock on one of the main islands to the place. Edge and Subsix both serve mostly seafood, although there a few other dishes that are available that aren't from the sea. Well worth the experience. The other two restaurants were Tribal and Nest. Nest is pretty neat, it provides a treetop setting and is unique. Nest serves Asian dishes from various places. Tribal is African themed and also awesome. I can't type more. 1500 limit :(

Nice property and activities. But expensive and food wasn’t great. Got food poisoning one night.
Todella mukavan kokoinen saari, jossa kaikki paikat olivat siistejä ja hyvin hoidettu. Palvelu oli ammattimaista ja todella miellyttävää. Upea water bungalow loi upean puitteet täydelliselle Malediivilomalle. Myös paikalliset arvostavat tämän kohteen todella korkealle.
Отель находится на двух островах. На Мальдивах не первый раз. Есть свой вилла-хост. Отличное обслуживание. Есть подводный ресторан, правда не очень интересный, но там раз или два раза в неделю проходит пати в вечерне-ночное время, можно потанцевать. Завтраки хорошие. Ужины тоже. У нас был HB план питания. Мы жили на основном острове Чилл, лагуна хорошая, вход в воду отличный, купаться удобно и в прилив и в отлив. Всем дают бесплатно велики, можно кататься, что мы и делали. Закат можно встретить или на Серф Поинт(место на острове Плей, где можно заниматься серфингом, там огромные волны) или в ресторане Эйдж, который отдельно на воде, куда доставят лодкой. Отель отличный.
El servicio de todos el staff es impecable y te hace sentir como en casa. Las instalaciones son inmejorables y cuentan con gran detalle y lujo. La comida es muy buena en todos los aspectos. Tienes disponibles muchisimas actividades desde usar bicicletas hasta el equipo de snorkeling.
