Secluded, barefoot luxury indulgences make for idyllic romantic getaways at Niyama Private Islands Maldives

The paradisiacal atolls of The Maldives are often thought of as a refuge for couples looking for a romantic getaway. But several Maldivian luxury resorts have gone above and beyond to please style-savvy families, too – and one of them is Niyama Private Islands Maldives. Located a 45-minute sea-plane ride from the capital, Male, the resort offers lavish facilities that go far beyond thatched-roof villas and spellbinding ocean panoramas, and promises to be your best summer vacation yet.

Niyama Maldives - Aerial view — Niyama is divided into two sections – Play and Chill – each offering intimate, one-of-a-kind experiences

Niyama Maldives - 2-Bedroom Over Water Villa 3 — Each villa has a secluded deck that offers pure privacy for al fresco rain showers, moonlit dips or an afternoon bask in the sun

Niyama Maldives - 2 Bedroom Over Water Villa — Staying indoors can be equally as indulgent, as each room is outfitted with a king bed, gourmet treats, in-room entertainment and more

Luxury resorts in the Maldives - Niyama Maldives — Edge restaurant at Niyama Private Islands Maldives, which offers modern fine dining, is set half-a-kilometre out in the ocean and is accessible only by boat

The 134-key resort sprawls across two islands on the paradisiacal Dhaalu atoll – Play is for big families and Chill is for the romantics. Seclusion is the resort’s utmost priority. Case in point: the outdoor decks of water pavilions come with private infinity pools so couples can decompress in total solitude. Consider all requests fulfilled, thanks to the private thakuru (butler) service that is readily at your disposal. The concept of privacy is also adapted to experiences outside your room – specifically half-a-kilometre out into the ocean, where you will find Edge, the resort’s fine-dining restaurant that’s only accessible by boat.

Couples can also choose to dine in a completely different dimension six metres underwater below Edge. Framed by floor-to-ceiling glass panels, the aquatic-themed Subsix where you can dine on savoury delights in the company of marine creatures floating past them. Ascend the lush treetops and you will find Nest, a restaurant dishing up avant-garde Asian cuisines such as modern teppanyaki, Thai, Chinese as well as Indonesian.
