Background information
Located in the southwest Dhaalu Atoll of the Maldives, Niyama Private Islands Maldives attracts both adventure seekers and those in search of pure relaxation. A total of 134 luxurious villas are spread across the twin islands Play and Chill, and since summer 2025, the newly renovated pool villas have been delighting guests with an extra touch of comfort, luxury, and design. Gourmets in particular will find plenty to enjoy. The five-star resort features nine restaurants and bars offering culinary delights from around the world. The fine-dining restaurant Edge is accessible only by a short boat ride, as it is built on stilts about half a kilometer offshore in the Indian Ocean. Fresh seafood, local reef fish, atoll tuna, prawns, crab, and lobster are among its signature dishes. Another highlight is the underwater restaurant Subsix, located six meters below the ocean’s surface. With its vast panoramic windows, it offers breathtaking views of the vibrant marine life as well as a unique Nikkei fine-dining menu. Guests can also experience the extraordinary Nest restaurant, nestled among the treetops on Play Island. Elevated six meters above ground in a treehouse setting, private dining pods on various levels serve Asian specialties alongside a new teppanyaki menu.
