A five-star resort across two islands in Dhaalu Atoll, with 134 villas and pavilions, ten dining venues, and a private surf break.
At Do Not Disturb, we match you with one of our dedicated Maldives luxury travel experts who designs a tailor-made itinerary around how you want your time away to feel. With deep destination knowledge and meticulous planning behind the scenes, we transform complex travel into something effortless and entirely your own.
The world without distraction.
Request a quoteNiyama is built around two islands, and the names say it all. Play is the lively side, with families, surfers, and divers; Chill is the quiet one, home to the spa and the overwater villas. A boardwalk links the two. There are 134 villas and pavilions, up to the five-villa Crescent that sleeps 22.
Dining is half the fun. Across ten venues you can eat underwater at Subsix, up in the banyan canopy at Nest, out on the lagoon at the boat-access Edge, or around beach fires at Tribal. Subsix doubles as an underwater club, with glow parties after dark.
The signature is the surf, a private break called Vodi off Play, best from April to October. Add one of the Indian Ocean’s largest kids’ clubs, the overwater Drift Spa, and a 45-minute seaplane from Malé, and Niyama suits surfers, families, and couples alike.
With ten venues, including bars, a deli, and private dining, you could eat somewhere new every night. The two all-day mains anchor things, Epicure on Chill and the Mediterranean Blu on Play, while the showpieces pull you off-island: a Nikkei tasting menu underwater at Subsix, teppanyaki in the treetops at Nest, and fine dining out on the lagoon at Edge.
For something looser, there’s beach street food at Took Took and sunset shisha at the Dune bar.
Drift Spa is built out over the water, with six overwater treatment rooms and two garden sanctuaries, plus a lime-tree courtyard with sauna, steam baths, and a juice bar. The menu is unusually deep: Ayurveda with a resident doctor, a signature massage blending Hawaiian lomilomi, shiatsu, and Thai technique, plus Codage and Elemis facials.
For the wellness-curious, there are IV drips, epigenetics tests, and private sunrise yoga. A full grass tennis pitch sits on one of the islands.
Niyama leans into the active side. The private Vodi break makes it one of the few Maldives resorts you can surf straight off the beach, with a PADI dive centre and a FLOAT water sports base alongside.
A resident marine biologist leads reef snorkels and a coral-adoption programme, and boats head out for dolphin safaris and deserted-sandbank picnics. Back on land, there’s a vast kids’ club, tennis, and a movie under the stars.
The Beach Villas face crystal lagoons and soft-sand beaches. Every villa at Niyama comes with a private sun deck, outdoor and covered rain showers, loungers, Dohni-shape swings, LED TV, and Maldivian butler service. The Beach Villa fits two adults and two children.
Guests can also upgrade to a Water Pool Villa with direct lagoon access and a private pool.
The Deluxe Water Pool Villa is spacious and gives direct lagoon access. The marble bathrooms are generous, with two showers and double vanity sinks.
A strong choice for a couples’ trip to remember, with the private pool and overwater setting the main draws.
At 255 sqm, the Family Beach Pool Villa fits up to three adults and two children, opening onto the beach with sunset views. There’s plenty of space for kids to play, a private pool, al fresco bathing, and outdoor rain showers shaded by palm fronds.
The natural pick for families wanting room to spread out across a beachfront footprint.
The Beach Pool Pavilion covers 400 sqm, with a king bedroom, separate living and dining areas, a humidor with cigars, and a butler’s pantry with extra fridge, ice-maker, microwave, and wine refrigerator.
The step up for guests wanting the highest beachfront tier short of a multi-villa booking, with the private butler on hand throughout.
The Crescent is the flagship, a run of five overwater villas that together fit 14 adults and 8 children, each with a private pool. The booking comes with a private chef, two butlers, a sunset cruise, and a private barbecue.
The most generous footprint at Niyama, built for large group or multigenerational bookings wanting the whole crescent to themselves.
