About
Niyama Private Islands Maldives spans the connected islands of Embudhufushi and Olhuveli in Dhaalu Atoll. Known as Play and Chill, the islands combine white-sand beaches, sheltered lagoon scenery and direct access to a surf break. Beach villas, overwater villas and spacious pavilions offer settings for couples, families and larger groups, including private-pool accommodation. Dining experiences range from Subsix, an underwater restaurant and lounge six metres below the ocean, to Nest among the treetops. Guests can also enjoy beachfront dining, private culinary experiences and in-villa dining. Drift by Niyama offers spa treatments, Ayurvedic therapies, facials and yoga. The resort has a fitness centre, tennis and badminton facilities, while the Explorers Kids Club provides age-group activities for younger guests. Ocean activities include surfing at the Vodi break, surf coaching, diving, snorkelling, water sports and dolphin cruises. Marine experiences and sandbank excursions provide further ways to explore the surrounding waters. The resort arranges seaplane transfers from Velana International Airport and domestic-flight connections through Dhaalu Airport, followed by a short speedboat journey.
