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 Malé 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!

Professional and Top Notch! From the moment we started planning our trip AWAVE was responsive and professional. We had a lot of back and forth picking the perfect location and resort and James and Giulia were patient and helpful. The resort we stayed at, AYADA in the Maldives, was beautiful and relaxing- great for families and couples! It was perfect for us- we have 1 surfer in the family, he was able to enjoy the waves and we also were able to enjoy the reef and snorkel as a family. Our kids loved the kids club and the private pool on the beach villas was amazing. The alcohol is expensive if you don’t do full board but that is to be expected. Wonderful vacation and amazing travel agency! Definitely recommend!!

I've used Awave twice ... so far. This is the second time I've used Awave for a trip to the maldives. Stayed in 2 different resorts this time. They've always been incredibly prompt at replying and handled everything for us, making sure the 2 Resorts were in touch to get us transfered half way through our trip. At one of the resorts I even bumped into Giulia and Delia who were out there surfing at the time. There's no doubt in my mind that I'll use awave again if I'm booking a surf trip

Indonesia Surf Trip/ Java/Bali/Sumba - James Colston was my representative from AWAVE - I’m an older solo surfer and James was attentive, respectful, extremely responsive from the initial planning stages all the way through the booking. And he was so patient with all my crazy questions along the way. I couldn’t have been more pleased with James’s level of service. Thank you James

Giulia was an amazing person to book with. I was overwhelmed with choices initially, but AWAVE knew their stuff and helped me with my options and even suggested delaying my trip so I could go to a certain hotel which ended up being the best decision I made all year.

Giulia and James were always on line to answer any question or to give an advice. The Ayada resort is perfect both for families or for couples. We did not have waves as the season goes from April to September, but there are plenty options to have fun and good times. Highly recommended both Awave and Ayada.

The AWAVE team are knowledgable and helpful. Giulia is a very helpful and patient person to deal with, and do not worry, you can trust her. I had to delay my trip to Morocco due to unforeseen circumstances and Giulia was very understanding. I have just returned from having a fantastic week at Amouage in Taghazout. Thanks AWAVE!
