This breathtaking resort is the ideal location if you are planning a trip-of-a-lifetime. Known as “Nature’s Playground”, it is cleverly situated over twin islands named Chill and Play so you can expect a naturally-occurring division between luxury-seeking couples and fun-loving families at this barefoot chic resort which is arguably one of the most beautiful natural islands in the Maldives.
Each private villa enjoys an open-air bathroom and an outdoor rain shower, a full-sized fridge brimming with snacks and ice cream, a popcorn machine, an in-room entertainment system and a Villa host service. There are a number of private villas with a fibre-optic lit pool. We love the overwater pavilions, that come with uninterrupted ocean views and a private infinity pool.
On the island of Play there’s wonderful distractions for those looking for active pursuits from boat trips to snorkelling sites, catamaran sailing and wakeboarding, to game fishing, kitesurfing and diving at the PADI dive centre. Enjoy personal encounters with some of the world’s most majestic creatures such as bottlenose dolphins and mantas or learn from the resort’s resident marine biologist. Niyama is among the hottest surfing destinations and is the only five-star island where you can surf direct from the shore. Children’s learn to surf lessons are also available.
The DRIFT Spa, is located within a tropical sanctuary on Chill with six overwater treatment rooms – all with soaring views across the ocean and two garden sanctuaries with an outdoor bath, rain shower and daybed. Bespoke therapies come from around the globe and include holistic massages, medical pedicures plus there’s activities such as Zuma, Yoga, SUP Yoga and Stick Mobility.
Choose from the many restaurants such as all-day dining at the hip Blu or Epicure overlooking the Indian ocean or African meets South American amidst blazing fires in the jungle at Tribal. Then there is the Asian-inspired Nest, which is the only restaurant like it in the Maldives, where you dine in a treehouse in the green heart of the island. In addition, take advantage a unique champagne breakfast at Subsix with its underwater panoramas, or indulge at Edge, half a kilometre off the shore. Exceptional beach dining experiences are on offer making for a very memorable night such as Ribs and Reggae at Surf Shack.
