Niyama Private Islands Maldives

Niyama has a great mix of laid-back island life and a bit of fun, with two islands connected by a bridge. The underwater restaurant Subsix is probably the most memorable feature, while Epicure serves a nice mix of international and Asian dishes. I also like that you can move between the two islands easily, with plenty of space, greenery and a very relaxed feel.
