we forced ourselves to stay up later than we usually do in order to go to Subsix, the underwater club - glad we did; Wu Chang was the dj,really fun. Breakfast buffet is very nice, dinner buffet was good (not great)although the dinner buffest did offer grilled fish, which was extremely fresh. The 2 ala carte restaurants at the resort are VERY expensive - we didn't go: Tribal is mostly meat which we don't eat. Staff was truly wonderful. Even the 2 women who work the deli were lovely, their sandwiches delicious and ice cream...so good.

my husband and i went for a honeymoon with niyama by per aquum.
we loved our stays sooooo much and we hope we can be back (abit pricey for us).
the staff over here are super friendly and everyone of them greated us whenever they see us.
places are very clean, very nice food (even dine-in), and we have got complementary dinner on our honeymoon visit.
my husband and i had great time with niyama, and they gave us a memorable honeymoon.
i would highly recommend this to all of you!!
if you are going on a diving trip i dont recommend this place, as the diving sites are not really interesting.
Travel tip:
Honeymoon visit, Niyama is the best choice!!

Amazing resort. Certainly a class of its own
Excellent service, unique dining experience. Abundance of watersports
10
excellent food, fine dining, lovely atmosphere. this hotel is well on its way to matching a w hotel. unique dining experience in the middle of the ocean. night club underwater... tho club is always empty its a lovely spot to have a drink. there is an abundance of water sports and activities. highly recommend taking jet skis out and asking your guide to take you dolphin hunting as opposed to go on the boat. amazing we saw about 30!
only thing about this resort is the snorkelling on site is not spot on. we had previously stayed at a resort a little closer to male say 15 mins boat ride and that area is infamous for snorkelling as lots of beautiful fish. however the water is so beautiful and the sand is so white, at this resort you can also go out to see dolphins which you wouldnt be able to do near male. as for snorkelling i understand the hotel does island trips to a nearby sand bank where the reefs are just as beautiful
rooms were amazing!
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
For MAldives in general I reckon 2-3 days per island is sufficient, after that better to hop to another island to see what else is on offer. MAke the most of going to the country!

Postcard Paradise
Excellent service, outstanding water villas
9.3
i just returned from my most memorable holiday at niyama. it was a holiday which will not be easy to forget. i proposed to my gf during my stay and everything else - the room, the service and the food - complimented this beautiful memory.
my gf and i stayed at the water villa with pool for 4 nights. this being our first trip to maldives, i was worried about how things would pan out. however, it turned out that i should not have worried one bit for we received vip treatment all the way.
upon arrival at the airport, we were greeted by a niyama representative and brought to wait for the seaplane at the niyama lounge. the lounge was well-equipped with drinks and snacks (chips, sandwiches). after a short wait, we were ushered to the seaplane to the resort paradise.
the staff at the resort greeted us warmly and we got a buggy ride to our water villa. the room was spectacular. you can really trust the pictures that have been posted by the resort management in here. the pool was of a good size for lounging under the sun, the bed was very comfortable and the mini-bar was great too. rooms come equipped with a bose media player with lots of blockbusters all free of charge. the floors may have a very slight condensation at times but that is to expected when your balcony opens up to the indian ocean.
the food was great too. we were on bed & breakfast and wished that we were on half-board. that is because food is a tad pricey there. but you do get what you pay for. seafood was always fresh and you always leave a meal happy.
the staff at the resort deserves plaudits too for giving soul to this beautiful place. everyone greeted us warmly with a smile and was always willing to make our trip better. staff are able to strike a balance between being laid-back enough to have a chat yet attentive enough to our needs.
niyama is truly highly recommended!
Hotel Feature Tip:
Get a sunrise-facing room so you get the best of both worlds. You can easily view the sunsets from Farenheit.

A paradise with excellent service
Luxury experience, great staff, look after you even when you leave
9.7
We stayed 4 nights in a 'water villa with pool' for our honeymoon. We were there Nov 30 to Dec 3. This was during the ‘wet’ season. The temp was 25-30C everyday.
I could tell you all about the place but the website and Agoda do that already. What they don’t convey is that no expense was spared in the construction of this resort and the experience it provides. It was class from start to finish. The staff are highly trained and always greet you with a smile. Four examples of this were:
1) email correspondence with the resort before our arrival was always helpful and prompt.
2) my wife’s birthday occurred during our stay. I didn’t inform staff but they surprised us with champagne at breakfast and had a cake as well as bouquet of white roses delivered to our room
3) on one of the days the phone couldn’t reach the concierge for some reason ( I called multiple times within half an hour) so we couldn’t order room service, requiring us to walk to Epicure (the main restaurant) to order lunch (was only a 3 minute walk). I mentioned this to the staff (not as a complaint, just wondering if there was a problem). We returned to our room to wait for our food. When it arrived the resort manager came with it, apologising for the problem with the phone and waiving the charge for the meal
4) Because the latest sea plane transfer off the island was around 4pm but our flight back home didn’t leave until 10pm they arranged for a local guide to show us around the capital Male at no extra cost. This was completely unexpected as though we knew we would have time on our hands we, we were expecting to make our way over to Male on our own and explore it ourselves. Having a guide was reassuring and helpful.
The only caveat would be all this comes at a cost – if you’re travelling on a tight budget, look elsewhere, as the meals and activities on the island do come at a premium. But really, you get what you pay for – we enjoyed ourselves immensely and plan to return!
Hotel Feature Tip:
Although Agoda asks that you submit your arrival and departure flight codes and times via the Agoda website (so that Niyama can arrange sea plane transfer to and from the resort), you can bypass this and liase with Niyama directly. Their staff reply promptly and answer all questions very satisfactorily.
