Split Stays
Whilst split stay travel within the Maldives is permitted by the Ministry of Tourism, we have taken the decision to temporarily disallow all split stay arrivals at our resort unless you are travelling from another resort within the Minor Hotels portfolio (https://www.anantara.com/en/maldives). This precautionary measure is implemented as part of our resort’s heighted COVID-19 Safety Protocols. It applies to all new bookings made from 7th November 2020. Should you wish to stay in another establishment that is not within the Minor Hotels portfolio during your trip to the Maldives, your itinerary must start with our resort. Our team will process the necessary documents and approvals required under the Split Stay permit application for your next stay. During this period, all day trips to our resort will also not be permitted.
Welcome Back
As we envision and hope for a brighter, freer future, Niyama Private Islands Maldives look forward to welcoming you back with our genuine hospitality and personalised service. Nature’s Playground awaits you.
Wishing you peace of mind,
