This visionary resort balances tranquil beauty with a sense of fun.
Niyama’s island names – ‘Chill’ and ‘Play’ – set the tone for the resort: innovative, fresh, relaxed and upmarket. While the underwater den, Subsix, lies six metres below the ocean’s surface, Nest – on the second island – can be found six metres high up in the treetops, and is a real one-of-a-kind in the Maldives, with private pods suspended among the Banyan trees.
Featuring action-packed itineraries that are on hand to cater for all ages, as older children enjoy complimentary snorkelling and every imaginable variety of water and land-based sports.
The younger ones, meanwhile, can run riot at the award-winning Explorer Kids Club. Divided between four age groups - each immersing young explorers in an adventure-filled roster that includes island safaris, treasure hunts and cooking classes - along with a playground, trampoline, splash park and stage where children are encouraged to become the stars of the show.
Rooms are also among the most family-friendly in the region, with stylish, spacious villas arriving in a range of settings - beach, overwater or pool - and sizes that are home to thoughtful touches like complimentary homemade ice-cream and popcorn makers in every villa.
