Discover THIS IS NIYAMA: Transformed Villas, Underwater Nikkei, and Surf‑Side Freedom at Niyama Private Islands Maldives
(IN SHORT) Niyama Private Islands Maldives introduces THIS IS NIYAMA, a comprehensive resort overhaul that enhances luxury, design, and guest choice across its two isles. Villas feature lighter décor, custom furnishings, and high‑tech comforts—beach retreats glow with sunset tones and one‑touch amenities; overwater bungalows blend sky and sea with floor‑to‑ceiling windows and outdoor bathing. Dining experiences expand from the treetop teppanyaki at Nest to a pioneering underwater Nikkei menu at Subsix, alongside the beachside fire‑cooked flair of Dune and the surf‑side party vibe at Surf Shack. Wellness and adventure options abound: world‑class surfing guided by pros, conservation activities at the Marine Centre, and an upgraded kids’ club with jungle splash parks and activities. GM Hafidh Al Busaidy emphasizes that these enhancements invite guests to embrace freedom and craft personalized island experiences.
(PRESS RELEASE) MALDIVES, 2025-Jul-17 — /Travel PR News/ — Niyama Private Islands Maldives proudly unveils THIS IS NIYAMA, a sweeping transformation that redefines island luxury with fully refreshed villas, elevated dining adventures, and boundless guest freedom. Since opening in 2012, Niyama has championed playful luxury; today it raises the bar by blending avant‑garde design with organic Maldivian beauty across its twin isles of Play and Chill.
Reimagined Villas
Every accommodation has been reborn with a lighter palette, bespoke furnishings, and seamless tech amenities. Beach Villas now radiate sunset hues and offer “at‑your‑fingertips” espresso, popcorn, and entertainment controls. Overwater Villas dissolve the lines between sky and sea in shades of aquamarine, with floor‑to‑ceiling glazing opening onto private decks, and al fresco bathing areas that invite guests to drift between indoor comfort and ocean breezes.

Next‑Level Dining
Culinary experiences at Niyama now span treetops to ocean depths. Nest—the elevated teppanyaki and Southeast Asian hotspot—has been redesigned among jungle canopy, where fragrances of spice mingle with birdcalls at dusk. Six metres beneath the waves, Subsix debuts the world’s first underwater Nikkei tasting menu, with five courses set against coral gardens and circling reef life. On shore, Dune transforms poolside lounging into a fiery beach feast with bold Maldivian flavors, signature cocktails, and shisha until sunset. And at the newly expanded Surf Shack, guests watch rollers break on the horizon while DJs spin beats and rum flows freely.

Freedom to Choose
True to its ethos, Niyama empowers guests to chart their own course. World‑class surf breaks lap the Play island shore, guided by an in‑residence pro and bespoke surf safaris. The new Marine Centre offers hands‑on conservation led by Niyama’s marine biologist. Little ones explore a jungle‑clearing splash park, climbing wall, slides, and trampolines, punctuated by dolphin snorkels, sailing adventures, gourmet picnics, and mini‑spa treats.
“At Niyama, freedom is the ultimate luxury,” says General Manager Hafidh Al Busaidy. “Every detail has been reimagined so our guests can write their own stories—unscripted, unbound, and unforgettable.”
CHILL. PLAY. THIS IS NIYAMA.
