How to choose the perfect island in the Maldives?

How do I choose the perfect island in the Maldives?

Choosing where to stay in the Maldives can be a minefield and that’s where Eloura Journeys comes in – we understand how valuable your time is, so if your eyes are glazing over looking at yet another picture perfect Indian Ocean beach, then let’s have a chat!  Once we have an idea of exactly what you are looking for, we will craft a personalised itinerary for you, ensuring every details is aligned with your vision. 

Niyama Private Islands is one of our favourites, making it an easy choice for the perfect island escape – a stunning Maldivian retreat offering twin islands, CHILL & PLAY, for the ultimate choice. CHILL invites pure relaxation with spa indulgences, starlit cinema, and incredible dining, while PLAY excites with surfing, kayaking, biking, and culinary discoveries. Families are warmly welcomed, with the award-winning Explorers Kids’ Club delivering unforgettable adventures for children of all ages, from baby yoga to treasure hunts. Whether its tranquillity, thrills, or family bonding, Niyama could be your perfect island escape.  

Two Islands. Infinite possibilities where pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and luxurious accommodations create an unforgettable tropical retreat. Villas and pavilions sprawl across white-sand beach and over translucent water. And while the outline of the quintessential Maldives remains – thatched roofs, cantilevered pools, panoramas of open horizon – bold splashes of colour and contemporary lines add a distinctively Niyama edge. Inside, the small touches that elevate luxury to extravagance include a Garden of Eden bathroom, 360° entertainment, Villa Host service, and most deliciously of all, a deli with ice-cream and a popcorn machine.  

Dining:  The resort is famous for its culinary diversity and variety of restaurants and dining experiences across its two islands. You can enjoy tasty experiences such as:

  • all-day dining with breath-taking ocean views at Epicure or Blu.  
  • inventive Asian flavours in the treetops at Nest, or bold fusion of African and South American cuisine cooked over open flames in the jungle-inspired Tribal. 
  • for something extraordinary, head underwater to Subsix for a champagne breakfast six metres below the ocean’s surface or venture half a kilometre offshore to the fine-dining sanctuary of Edge. 

  

  • unwind at the stylish bars, including the beachside Dune, the elevated Fahrenheit, or the laid-back Surf Shack with its reggae tunes and oceanfront setting 
  • indulge in unique beachside dining options such as Braai Night, Took Took Street Food, or the lively Rum, Ribs, and Reggae evenings
