Niyama Private Islands Maldives Unveils THIS IS NIYAMA – Evolved and More Tantalising than Ever
Since its unveiling in 2012, Niyama has made its mark on the Maldives with its bold playfulness. Now, it ups the ante, as effortless luxury is draped with the avant-garde, the surreal, the one-of-a-kind.
The new Niyama showcases the stylish and thoughtful evolution of the resort's villas, restaurants, and leisure facilities across the twin islands of Play and Chill, infusing each with an energy uniquely Niyama.
Evolved accommodations: a new aesthetic
The resort's accommodations are now enhanced with a lightened palette, all-new furnishings, high-design comfort and sleek technology. Expanded interiors offer more room to relax and reconnect.
The beach villas, spacious playgrounds where guests are free to simply be, now glow with the colours of the sunset, while high-tech toys include espresso, popcorn, and entertainment, all at the touch of a button.
Overwater villas, meanwhile, swirl in shades of blue and turquoise as the sky and ocean merge into one. Days drift with the tide, bringing sightings of makanaa, reef sharks and the sea turtle that calls the lagoon below home.
Each villa blends seamlessly with its surroundings, with floor-to-ceiling glass doors opening directly onto the beach or a private sundeck, and outdoor bathing quintessential to the Maldives, allowing guests to flit from one setting to another, free to roam at will.
Evolved culinary journeys: from the treetops to the ocean depths
Dining in the treetops reaches new heights at Nest, the resort's avant-garde restaurant with the sizzle of teppanyaki and spice of Southeast Asia. Redesigned and relandscaped to fully immerse guests in the wild, lush jungle comes alive at dusk with the faint glow of lights and the call of birds.
Six metres below the ocean's surface, Subsix unveils the world's first underwater Nikkei tasting experience, each of five courses as surreal as the setting, corals dappled by sunlight and reef sharks and sea turtles circling above.
There is also Dune, the ultimate beach chill, with chic lounging by the pool by day, a new menu with the fire of the Maldives a highlight, and cocktails and shisha until sunset.
Then there is sunset at the Surf Shack, a hideaway on the very western tip of Play now expanded, where the roar of the surf, the beats of the DJ, the warmth of rum, and fellow free spirits all come together to create pure magic.
An active lifestyle: on guests' own terms
At Niyama, guests are free to follow their desires, each moment as energised or laid back as they feel in the moment.
With world-class waves breaking right on shore (a left-hander), a pro in residence, and epic surf safaris unlike anywhere else, Niyama offers the Maldives' most luxurious way to surf. The new marine centre,
meanwhile, features hands-on conservation activities for guests, a way to leave their mark on one of the most beautiful places in the world, led by the resident marine biologist.
The kids' club has also evolved, featuring a splash park in a clearing of the jungle, a climbing wall, slides, and trampolines. Daily schedules are packed with snorkelling and sailing with dolphins, with gourmet lunches and mini-spa treatments in between.
CHILL. PLAY. THIS IS NIYAMA.

The Surrey, a Corinthia Hotel Unveils Opulent Signature Suites Inspired by the Grandeur of Central Park and Upper East Side Elegance
The Upper East Side's newest luxury destination, The Surrey, A Corinthia Hotel, is proud to introduce a collection of signature suites that seamlessly blend New York's storied elegance with the refinement of residential-style living. Designed by renowned interior designer Martin Brudnizki of MBDS, the four newly launched suites - The Pine Bank Bridge Suite, Bethesda Grandeur Suite, Greywacke Heritage Suite, and The Surrey Suite - pay homage to the architectural beauty of Central Park's most iconic bridges. The Surrey's signature suites embody the enduring spirit of quiet luxury synonymous with the property's legacy. Just steps from Madison Avenue's renowned boutiques, the cultural institutions of Museum Mile, and the tranquil expanse of Central Park, the suites serve as an elegant retreat from the city's energy; while speaking to the rich tapestry of the neighborhood they call home. Their design, complete with refined architectural details and thoughtfully curated furnishings, creates an atmosphere where heritage and modernity coexist in perfect harmony. Each suite embodies the spirit of its namesake landmark, incorporating bespoke details that echo each bridge's intricate ironwork, stone carvings, and timeless charm. From sculpted crown moldings to opulent finishes and furnishings, these thoughtfully designed spaces immerse guests in a world where heritage meets modern sophistication. By weaving in subtle nods to the surrounding bridges of Central Park, the suites create a seamless connection between the timeless beauty of their interiors and the prestigious locale that defines The Surrey experience. The hotel has collaborated with the expert team at Paris-based VISTO Gallery to curate an art collection across the property, with the suites serving as no exception. Each is complete with an array of artworks that represent different artists who have had an impact on New York's artistic landscape. Spanning 1,200 to 1,300 square feet, the Bethesda Grandeur, Pine Bank Bridge, and Greywacke Heritage Suites offer expansive one-bedroom accommodation, complete with king-size beds draped in sumptuous linens, elegant living areas, and ensuite bathrooms featuring deep soaking bathtubs and double vanities. For the ultimate indulgence, the 2,130-square-foot, two-bedroom Surrey Suite - inspired by Central Park's Bow Bridge - presents an unparalleled sanctuary of timeless beauty and contemporary luxury. All signature suites include well-appointed desks and exclusive Antica Farmacista bath amenities, alongside a host of thoughtful touches designed to elevate every stay. Guests enjoy complimentary in-suite snacks and soft drinks, priority access to The Surrey's house car, and dedicated tables held nightly at Casa Tua. Additional benefits include complimentary pressing, packing services, and a curated Casa Tua Sommelier experience. For wellness-minded travelers, an enhanced bathing ritual in partnership with Sisley Paris and exclusive access to The Surrey Spa - including a 60-minute treatment for two and complimentary use of the salt room - offer restorative indulgence. Throughout the year, surprise-and-delight amenities inspired by the seasons of Central Park add a whimsical, deeply local layer to the guest experience. Bethesda Grandeur Suite A masterclass in quiet luxury, the Bethesda Grandeur Suite blends timeless Upper East Side elegance with rich, residential detail. Warm-toned silk wallcoverings by Phillip Jeffries, trimmed with Samuel & Sons, and Lee Jofa, pair with tailored drapery from Colefax and Fowler and Rubelli. A Garrison Rousseau shagreen desk anchors the space, complemented by lighting from Soane and Vaughan. The suite's art collection includes works by Helen Frankenthaler (Tales of Genji), Richard Lindner (Der Rosenkavalier), and Kelly Beeman, alongside abstract pieces by Holly Addi and Kazaan Viveiros - a curated mix that reflects both legacy and contemporary influence. Calacatta Lincoln marble in the primary bath and vintage marble sinks in the powder room complete this sophisticated retreat. Pine Bank Bridge Suite A richly atmospheric space, the Pine Bank Bridge Suite draws inspiration from the ornamental elegance of its namesake bridge, layering floral motifs and artisanal craftsmanship. Drapery by Nobilis and The Sign, all lined in James Hare, frames expansive windows in both bedroom and salon. The lighting design features Visual Comfort wall and bath sconces, offering a soft glow that enhances the palette of deep neutrals and foliage-inspired hues. A warm timber writing desk anchors the living space, while silk wallcoverings and intricate trims add texture and depth. The suite includes pieces sourced to reflect the bridge's filigree ironwork and historic charm. In the bathroom, Calacatta Oro marble and Visual Comfort sconces continue the narrative of effortless sophistication. Greywacke Heritage Suite Geometric and grounded, the Greywacke Heritage Suite is defined by strong architectural lines and a curated sense of history. Parchment-finished furnishings by Garrison Rousseau pair with Phillip Jeffries wallcoverings and Nobilis drapery. Anchoring the suite's art story are a signed lithograph by Richard Lindner (Lollipop), screenprints by Kazaan Viveiros, and a minimalist piece by muralist Tony Sjöman (Rubin). Contemporary works by Karli Henneman, Arlina Cai, and Helen Frankenthaler round out the thoughtful curation. The primary bath features Calacatta Lincoln marble, reinforcing the suite's refined sensibility. The Surrey Suite The crown jewel of The Surrey, this expansive two-bedroom suite blends discreet opulence with residential grandeur. Inspired by the gentle arches of Bow Bridge, the design integrates softened geometry, graceful curvature, and luminous materials to create a sense of timeless romance. Bedrooms feature silk wallcoverings by Phillip Jeffries, trimmed with Samuel & Sons and Lee Jofa, while drapery by Colefax and Fowler and Jim Thompson lends a formal yet relaxed elegance. The concealed study, hidden behind a seamless paneled door, was designed as a quiet discovery - a secret chamber that transforms a stately corridor into something unexpectedly personal. A Garrison Rousseau desk in calfskin and timber, custom furnishings, and hand-applied finishes add layers of artisanal richness. The dual primary bathrooms are appointed with Calacatta Oro and Calacatta Lincoln marble, double vanities, soaking tubs, and expansive walk-in rain showers. In the dressing room, walls are drenched in Sherwin-Williams' "Rainwashed" lacquer - a serene, watery hue that softens the space. Throughout, Vaughan sconces and Visual Comfort lighting complete the mood. This suite is not only a statement in design, but a sanctuary of refinement and calm. The suite's museum-worthy art program features Jasper Johns (Cups 2 Picasso), Helen Frankenthaler, Milton Hebald, and Elizabeth Gregory-Gruen, along with works by Bruce Porter, Mori Shizume, and Arlina Cai. Officially opened in late October 2024, The Surrey marks Corinthia Hotels' first property in North America. Set within a 16-story building owned by the Reuben Brothers, global leaders in real estate development and private equity, the hotel features striking interiors by Martin Brudnizki of MBDS. Prior to opening under the Corinthia flag, the property underwent a full transformation to include 70 guest rooms, 30 suites, and 14 private residences. It is also home to the first New York outpost of beloved eatery Casa Tua and the tranquil Surrey Spa, featuring treatments by Sisley Paris. With this stunning new collection of suites, The Surrey, A Corinthia Hotel, reinforces its place as an icon of bespoke luxury and quintessential New York sophistication.
