Per Aquum Niyama
Summary
It is hard to believe when faced with the astounding, untouched beauty of Olhuveli Island that this private corner of paradise is less than an hour’s flight from the Maldivian capital. Surrounded by crystalline waters and boasting long stretches of pristine white sand, this exquisite island is the perfect natural playground. At its heart is Niyama, a five-star resort that prides itself on transforming dreams into reality on a daily basis. From the wonderfully personal approach of the resort’s staff, to the overwhelming variety of its activities, this is a place in which no request is too much, no whim too fanciful. From private cruises to luxurious spa treatments; and from underwater dining experiences to complimentary snorkelling tours, the only hardship of a stay at Niyama is eventually having to leave.
