Niyama Private Islands Maldives

Niyama Private Islands Maldives is a 5-star resort on Kudahuvadhoo in Dhaalu Atoll, positioned toward the upper end of the market with rates starting from $769. With 134 rooms, it's a mid-to-large sized property by Maldivian resort standards, offering more scale than many of the smaller boutique islands in the region.

Guest feedback has been strong, with a 9.1/10 rating drawn from 173 reviews, suggesting a consistently positive experience for those who have stayed.
