FESTIVE FUN IN PARADISE… The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted heavily on us all, personally, socially and economically. Like many, many resorts across the globe we temporarily closed our Niyama resort for 7 months, but were delighted to re-open our doors on 1st October. During the closure the resort was thoroughly deep cleansed and disinfected and “new normal” operating procedures have now been strictly implemented. Every possible safeguard has been introduced to ensure guests can have total confidence in enjoying our superb facilities and activities safely and securely. We are, now, thrilled to introduce our festive program to you…a perfect blend of fine food, festive fun and fabulous activities at luxurious, indulgent Nature’s Playground. Imagine, cocktails on the beach as a stunning Maldivian sunset signals the end of another wondrous day; dining on fine cuisine beneath the waves, out to sea or in the jungle canopy; a New Year’s Eve Bohemian Dinner, with celebrities flown in for your entertainment; stunning fireworks as Countdown commences… Kids love Christmas and will adore this special occasion here at Niyama, with activities designed just for them. A Chef Cookie Class, Rainbow Party Boduberu Band Dance and Neverland Party are just some of their festive fun, topped, of course, by a visit from Santa! So, escape the cold and join us on our exclusive tropical islands of Chill and Play! Hafidh Al Busaidy General Manager
