Experience the Remote Central Atolls and a Private Wave!

Situated in the idyllic Central Atolls, Niyama Private Islands is the first 5-star luxury resort in the Maldives to lay claim to its own private wave. Experience unparalleled quality of service whilst having access to your own private high-quality left-hander with no crowds!

Niyama is incredible for couples looking to escape and with its on-site kid’s club, is perfect for families looking to relax and surf!

The Resort

The resort is located just a short 40-minute flight from the international airport in Malรฉ in the unspoilt Central Atolls. Niyama Private Islands is situated over 2 islands, Play and Chill, connected by a small bridge, allowing you to have the space to roam and explore.

The jewel in the crown of Niyama Private Islands is the private, onsite wave, Vodi. This well-shaped left-hand reef break is located on the southern tip of the resort allowing you to jump in and surf whenever you feel! No waiting around for boats, just surfing on your schedule.

Waves at Niyama Private Islands

You’re spoilt for choice with the wave options at Niyama. Sitting on the southern tip of the resort is Vodi. Vodi breaks left over a well covered even reef giving fun, playful rides when smaller and fast, technical rides when the swell gets bigger! This can be surfed at anytime and is a great fun wave.

In the local area, there are a few more great waves, Kasabu and Hocus Pocus that can be reached with the onsite surf transfers. Kasabu is a playful right-hander, perfect for perfecting your turns. When the conditions are right, Hocus Pocus is a barreling right-hander that offers perfectly shaped barrels for the lucky few that get to surf it!

With the help of the expert surf team onsite, you may also get to surf a few other secrets in the area in the right conditions!

Why We Love Niyama Private Islands

The onsite wave, Vodi, is perfect. Being able to paddle straight to the break on your own schedule is priceless.

The quality of all of the villa categories is outstanding. The attention to detail is second to none.

Niyama boasts one of the best Kid’s Clubs in the Maldives, giving parents time to rest, surf and relax on their trip!

My wife and I booked an 8 day surf charter on the Gahaa with a dedicated surf guide Moussa who was worth his weight in gold knowing what breaks would be firing and his knowledge of marine life and Maldivian environment enlightening for my wife and I. From the initial booking and contact Guilia at AWAVE made the whole process seamless communication was excellent. I have traveled extensively and surfed many parts of the world this trip truly exceeded my expectations the crew were incredible taking us to excellent surf and snorkeling locations. The boat itself is a converted fishing Dohni that exudes old world charm is clean and meticulously cared for. The meals prepared for us were nothing short of exceptional excellent variety and plenty of it a mix of western and Maldivian fare. We are definitely coming back and certainly using AWAVE again! Thank you Giulia and Moussa our trusted surf guide who gave us incredible insights into Maldivian culture.

Absolutely Recommended. Giulia and James are top professionals: I will be using Awave for all my future surf trips. I have been surfing for 30 years and travelled the world so I have dealt with a lot of agents. Awave is in the top spot as far as I am concerned. I spent 10 days with them on a boat trip in Maldivesโ€™ central atolls: not only their recommendations were spot on but being a boutique agency they tailor the surf experience to the very specific needs. They are surfers (real chargers) and know personally each spot and surf operator they recommend (wtether it is a guest house or a resort or a boat).

Trip of a lifetime. First and foremost I'd like to thank James Colston from Awave Travel, for assisting me in every which way to help book one of the most memorable experiences I've had in my life. He was extremely responsive and answered every single question I had, even the dumb ones haha. As for AYADA, holy dooly, that place is paradise! Absolutely breathtaking, I couldn't believe I was actually walking around such a beautiful island! Big love to the staff at Magu Restaurant, seeing as how I ate there pretty much everyday, they were amazing! Very switched on and quick off the mark to help with anything that was needed. A special mention to Dhaboa and the captain who took me out surfing! I cannot speak highly enough about their friendly, helpful and straight up on point expertise. With Dhaboa picking the spots to surf and tips on where to sit to catch the best waves on the day, to the wonderful captain himself, filming and sending me videos of the waves I caught.
Absolute legends! Made my surf trip! Best holiday I've ever been on to this date.

Reliable travel agency to book a surf trip - Both Giulia and James were very reactive and adivsed on the best options. In our case we made a boat trip in Maldives. It is the second time we use Awave Travel to do a surftrip to Maldives and we have had a very good experience in both cases. They are a reliable and trustworthy travel agency, I highly recommend them.
