Niyama Private Islands Maldives
MaldivesNiyama Private Islands Maldives is spread over two islands - 'Play' and 'Chill' - connected by a wooden bridge. This luxury hotel in the Maldives is great for young couples looking for a little nightlife, but it also works for families as there is a wide range of activities on offer.
Niyama offers private studios, suites, and pavilions that are either built over the water or come with direct beach access.
