Niyama Private Islands Maldives Reveals THIS IS NIYAMA: A Powerful New Chapter in Paradise!

Niyama Private Islands Maldives Introduces THIS IS NIYAMA: A Refreshed Take on Freedom and Discovery

Niyama Private Islands Maldives has introduced THIS IS NIYAMA, a refreshed experience featuring upgraded villas, enhanced facilities, and new guest experiences designed to offer greater freedom, comfort, and connection with the Maldives’ natural beauty.

Since opening in 2012, Niyama has been known for its playful spirit. With this latest update, the resort presents a reimagined approach that blends effortless luxury with unique, thoughtfully designed spaces and experiences across its twin islands — Play and Chill.

Evolved Villas: A New Look and Feel

The resort’s accommodations have been updated with lighter interiors, new furnishings, contemporary comforts, and integrated technology. Beach villas feature sunset-inspired tones and modern amenities like in-villa espresso machines and entertainment systems.

Overwater villas take on shades of blue and turquoise, complementing the surrounding sea and sky, with opportunities for wildlife sightings, including reef sharks and sea turtles in the lagoon.

Each villa offers direct access to the beach or a private sundeck, along with outdoor bathing spaces that allow guests to engage with their surroundings at their own pace.

Culinary Experiences: Elevated Dining in Unique Settings

Niyama’s dining experiences have evolved to reflect both the landscape and the resort’s creative spirit.

• Nest, set in the treetops, now offers redesigned spaces and a menu featuring teppanyaki and Southeast Asian flavours within a jungle backdrop.

• Subsix, located six metres underwater, introduces the world’s first Nikkei tasting experience beneath the sea, combining Peruvian-Japanese fusion with marine views.

• Dune provides beachfront relaxation by day and transitions to casual dining with a refreshed menu and sunset cocktails.

• Surf Shack, located on the western tip of Play, has been expanded to offer a venue for music, rum cocktails, and stunning ocean views.

Recreation: Leisure and Adventure

Niyama encourages guests to create their own rhythm, with options for both activity and relaxation.

• The resort’s on-site surf spot, with a resident pro and custom surf safaris, offers a distinctive way to experience the waves.

• A new marine centre, led by a resident marine biologist, offers guided conservation activities, providing guests with a hands-on approach to environmental stewardship.

• The children’s club features new amenities, including a splash park, climbing walls, slides, and trampolines, alongside snorkelling and sailing activities.

General Manager Hafidh Al Busaidy said, “At Niyama, our aim is to offer guests the flexibility to explore, relax, and engage with nature and each other in ways that suit them. With THIS IS NIYAMA, we have rethought the guest experience to reflect this philosophy, offering updated spaces and activities that invite personal discovery.”

Niyama Private Islands Maldives positions THIS IS NIYAMA as an opportunity for guests to shape their stay, whether through exploration, connection, or simply unwinding.
