Niyama

Niyama Private Island is known as a truly spectacular paradise spread between two tropical islands both offering alluring pristine white sand beaches and luxurious up-market accommodations perfect for travellers of all kinds. The two islands each offer totally different concepts: relax and play. Olhuveli is the main island and renowned for its relaxed feel; where as Embudhufushi is devoted to play.

Niyama is home to the largest selection of restaurants and bars in the whole of the Maldives, offering incredible dining experiences – guests can sink their teeth into scrumptious Champagne breakfasts whilst dining in the famous underwater Subsix playground, or take a boat ride to the mouth-watering Edge restaurant located an amazing half a kilometre out above the Maldivian ocean where guests will witness mesmerizing and unforgettable views.
