2026-11-11

I still have dreams about this place. If I could give it 1000 stars out of 10 I would. This is honestly what I picture heaven will look like one day. We have been to other resorts in the Maldives but this hotel really stands out. Everything was so smooth from start to finish. Service: 10000/10. Everyone was so kind and so welcoming. Everything I requested was done. Nothing was too much. Shamu was out butler and he took such incredible care of us. He responded to every message promptly and would pick us up so quickly. He was so kind and warm our entire stay. He really went above and beyond. Everyone at all of the restaurants were so incredibly friendly. My kids would hug the staff every morning and everytime we left. At the end of the week they felt like family. Ayu and Putu were so incredibly sweet and welcoming to my kids. They really went out of their way to welcome us and made sure we had a great meal. Everyone on this island was a pleasure to be around. We were always greeted by our names. Food 10/10. I cannot believe how good the food was for an island. It was amazing with so much variety you cannot get sick of the food. Every night they have a dofferent buffet and it is such high quality food with such variety you would never think you are eating at a buffet. We absolutely loved Nest! We ate in the tree top one night and did teppanyaki another night. The food was phenomenal and the ambience was amazing. For our kids nothing was too much. If you have picky eaters this is the hotel you want to stay at! We didn’t even order off of the menu and they would make our kids anything they wanted and it during our stay it was free. Just amazing Island: 1000/10. The shades of blue are just unbelievable. I have never seen anything like it. The island is so lush and pristine. It is soooo clean. Just absolutely beautiful. We loved moving around the islands on our bikes. You can see how hard they work keeping the island spotless Rooms 10/10: if you can splurge I highly recommend the one bed room residence. It was absolutely incredible. The pool is gigantic and the surrounding water is incredible. We also did half our our stay at a deluxe overwater villa. Kids club 100/10. This place was awesome. Our kids did not want to leave. We called one time because the were going to be late for lunch and the ladies who worked there took their food order and had it ready for them when they arrived. They took my daughter to the spa once to get her hair and nails done. The women who work there are so lovely. Adina, Watiya, Nilna & Raufa really took such good care of our kids and made their stay so memorable. They are very professional and so loving. They treated our kids like their own. The only area of improvent id recommend would be the spa. It does need some updating but even then I really enjoyed my massage and my time there I do not hesitate one bit to recommend niyama. It truly is heaven on earth. The week we spent there will always be one of my favorite memories❤️ Thank you Niyama for such an amazing stay and we are already planning our return!

Island, service, food everything was very good. Our thakuru Ammi made our stay much more better. Great hotel and great people. I recommend this hotel for visitors looking for a good time in maldives.

The food and service were great. Love the chill vibe. The photographer on the snap was so great! He was very professional and knew how to capture beautiful shots. We loved the photos and paid extra to save all the best moments. A special mention to the team at Epicure. They actually remembered our dining preferences, and even came to say goodbye at our last day. And a big thanks to our thakuru, Caffrey. She's so enthusiastic, patient, reliable, and always on call. After our sunset dolphin cruise, she surprised us with a lovely sand art right on our porch. It was drizzly that day, but that painting definitely lightened everything up. Really appreciated! The only downside was the snorkeling. There weren't many fish around the island, and the water was quite shallow. However, they offer a free boat snorkeling trip every day. We didn't have time to go so please make sure you try it for us. Also, just a heads up: the minibar isn't free, but they do give you four different flavors of icecreams and refill everyday.
