Niyama introduces ‘Love Me, Spoil Me & Spa Me’ offer for unforgettable Valentine’s Day experiences
A once-in-a-lifetime proposal six metres underwater in a mysterious marine world with tropical shoals and swaying corals as your witness. A candlelit dinner for two at Edge, which is located in the middle of the Indian Ocean and 500 metres from the shore. A private 3D cinema under the star constellations, complete with Champagne, canapés and popcorn. These are just few of the unrivalled experiences one can enjoy this Valentine’s Day at Niyama Private Islands Maldives.
Niyama is the ultimate destination for the celebration of love. The resort is spread over two islands — Play and Chill — offering guests a perfect romantic retreat. While Play offers adrenaline adventures and thrilling water excursions, Chill lets guests enjoy the slower rhythm of life by the calming sea and surrender to spa bliss with tailor-made couple treatments at Drift Spa by Niyama.
The romantic hideaway begins with a scenic seaplane flight over azure waters of Dhaalu atoll. Guests at Niyama have a choice of beach pool villas that provides direct access powdery sands and bright-blue seas or luxury overwater pavilions that are set out over the Maldivian sea. Away from the crowds in the city, the lush islands of Niyama let couples explore the underwater world, enjoy quiet walks on hidden beaches and brave the ocean at some of the world’s best surf breaks. Niyama reimagines the Maldivian experience by offering distinct twists: dining in the treetops at Nest, wedding toasts with Champagne at the underwater Subsix restaurant, or a private chef dinner on a moonlit beach where the path is lit by flame torches and toes buried in the sand and lapped by waves.
Niyama fulfils the escapist dreams by offering a myriad of ways to celebrate love.
To celebrate Valentine’s Day, Niyama is offering a special Love Me, Spoil Me & Spa Me promotion, making it perfect for unforgettable proposals, engagement celebrations and honeymoon romance. The package starts at USD 2,235++ and includes:
- A minimum three nights stay at an overwater pool villa which gives guests direct access to bright-blue seas.
- Champagne toast upon arrival
- Daily buffet breakfast for two
- Teppanyaki lunch experience at the treetop restaurant Nest
- Innovative daily dining experiences at select restaurants
- Private destination dining at a secluded area on the beach
- 60-minute romantic and rejuvenating spa ritual for two
- A scenic return seaplane transfer to and from the resort
Niyama offers more than a luxury retreat in the Maldives. Going beyond conventional concepts of lavish accommodation, sumptuous cuisines, and lavish services, Niyama presents every visitor with myriad opportunities to create their own exceptional island experience.
With twin islands Play and Chill, Niyama offers you the true luxury of choice, with everything expected from an island resort and so much more.
Chill is true to its name. You can discover new depths of relaxation at the Drift Spa, or take in a movie under the stars at the outdoor cinema. Just off the coast, enjoy a fine dining experience at Edge accessible only by speedboat, while Subsix invites you the world’s finest underwater seafood restaurant and night club.
Play provides delightful diversions for those looking for more active pursuits. On the water, you can kayak around the islands or discover why Niyama is amongst the hottest surfing destinations. Bicyclists can explore the island at their own pace, perhaps lured by the aromas from the chef’s spice gardens.
