Dhaalu Atoll Maldives.
With 86 luxury studios and pavilions, Niyama is an intimate resort, but is large enough to stop you from feeling bored. Luxuriating on the beach or floating right above the water: the studios are the dream idylls you’d expect of a Maldives getaway – but with exciting Niyama twists. These include stunning outdoor bathrooms, fibre-optic lit pools, and your very own open-air cinema. On top of this, Beach Pavillions have an exclusive section of the beach and a 24 hour butler service. All villas at Niyama have a wonderfully open feel, marrying traditional thatched roofs with crisp, contemporary design and the latest in entertainment technology.
5* dining is all very well, but sometimes when you’re on holiday you miss being able to just open your fridge, and have a graze whenever you feel like it: that’s why the villa fridges at Niyama are chock-full of mouth-watering deli favourites, and gourmet nibbles. Likewise, if you’re missing takeaways, you can pick one up from the elegant yet laid-back Epicure restaurant. For the best in al fresco dining, rock up at Tribal where you can lounge on the beach and watch as tantalising international cuisine is cooked on woks, Asado grills and open fires. If this lot is getting you excited, then wait ‘til you see Niyama Live: the world’s first underwater night club...
For pure, unadulterated relaxation you’ve come to the right place. Niyama is the first hotel in the Maldives to have a spa that’s open 24 hours a day, so you can enjoy holistic treatment or couple’s massage whenever the mood takes you. But if you’re worried that you (or the rest of the brood) will get bored, then head to Float 02: this is an incredible underwater chill-out zone where kids will find Wiis, remote control boats and buggies, an art studio, and weekly movie nights. It’s also home to a fascinating marine biology lab where you can learn about coral conservation. Other activities include PADI certified diving and a full range of watersports.
Get in there quickly and snap up the fantastic offers at this newly opened-resort – you’ll probably get a free room upgrade too!
