Niyama Private Islands reopens its two islands in the Dhaalu Atoll south of Male – Play and Chill – with their laid-back vibe and big island feel with space in abundance. Niyama is the one of the only luxury resorts in the Maldives with surfable waves and reopens during the midst of the surfing season with an exclusive surf event. From October 12-18 the resort hosts Lost Surfboards shaper Matt Biolos, along with several big-name surfers. The resort offers a range of active pursuits around the islands or on the water, in addition to Drift Spa and a multitude of dining options including on the beach, in the treetops and underwater.

Minor Hotels’ highest priority is to maintain a safe and secure environment for guests and team members across all properties. Guests can feel safe in the knowledge that all five Maldives resorts are in line with World Health Organisation and local health authority regulations and in addition are implementing Anantara’s “Stay With Peace of Mind” programme, which includes enhanced levels of sanitation and disinfection throughout the resorts, in-room hygiene kits, the introduction of a Guest Guardian team member, whose role includes ensuring all health and sanitation standards are adhered to, in addition to on-going training for staff.

Upon arrival to Velana International Airport in Male, guests are escorted by the resorts’ airport welcome hosts to either our seaplane lounge manned by partner – Manta Air, or to the speedboat to transfer directly to the resort, with social distancing protocols adhered to at all times. Complying with Covid-19 protection standards, guest luggage will be handled throughout its journey by a dedicated handler and sanitised at every stage.

Anantara Hotels’ “Book with Confidence” programme allows travellers to change dates, destinations or cancel the trip free of charge up to 24 hours prior to arrival. Bookable under the ‘Best Flexible Rate’, the offer applies to stays completed prior to 31 December 2020 and is subject to availability. To book visit reserveanantara@anantara.com.
