Two islands linked by a bridge — Play and Chill — in the Dhaalu Atoll
About Niyama Private Islands Maldives
Niyama Private Islands is the most creatively programmed resort in the Maldives — two private islands in Dhaalu Atoll connected by a bridge. Play island hosts the nightclub, kids club, surf breaks, and social spaces. Chill island is quieter with overwater villas and the signature spa.
Club Under The Sea is the world's first underwater nightclub — a submerged glass-dome venue accessible by ladder, hosting DJ nights and private dinners. The resort also has the Maldives' first in-ocean trampoline and the most comprehensive surf programme in the country.
