The resort feels freshly renovated, beautifully maintained, and spotlessly clean. The island itself is quite large, offering many restaurant options, plenty of activities, and a great sense of space and privacy.
We came mainly for surfing, and our instructor Kayle was beyond amazing. In just three days, I was confidently standing on the board and riding waves. He is extremely professional, has incredible energy, and creates such a positive atmosphere. You can’t help but feel his genuine love for surfing and the ocean — it truly transforms the whole experience. Surf trips with him were an absolute highlight.
Our butler Albina was also exceptional — incredibly sweet, attentive, and always quick to arrange anything we needed. She truly cares about guests and has a natural sensibility for hospitality. You feel understood and well taken care of.
Overall, Niyama exceeded our expectations, and we left with only beautiful memories. Can not wait to come back.

I liked everything! The beauty of the island, private beach, since we were the only tourists on the island, level of hospitality was just extraordinary starting from arranging the flight and arrival, to organizing the snorkeling trips, food and everything that we needed. The room was very clean and comfortable, amazing mattress👌

Perfect hotel with wonderful location and service. Absolutely recommended to everyone who loves Sun, Ocean, relax and coctails )))
The fact that the hotel belongs to RIU holding brings a lot of value, especially in the area of Management & Quality standards, which indeed a high-level.
Room cleaning – twice per day, good beach towel management. The territory is clean and cosy. The staff use silent electro-cars, you never hear them doing their routine job.
All your requests can be served via RIU Mobile application, the staff reaction is agile and adequate.
All-inclusive program is working well, the food is Ok for adults and kids. Main buffet and 2 a-la-carte restaurants (Italian style and Steak house).
Good bar service which provides international beverages, including 24/7 Sport-bar (here is special thanks to barmen Fredrick, who always open and friendly to the customers, ready to help and support).
The transfer service is also well done, timely and accurate, no any issues.

Amazing resort I would highly recommend. This was our second stay at Kandima and our experience exceeded the first. Good selection of meals provided throughout the day and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Our shuttle bus driver Gasimm was very patient and informative on the ecosystem. Excellent facilities for children.

Overall It was amazing experience with wonderful view at the Aqua villa, the staff was nice and very friendly.
Time of travel was too long and exhausting, as it took me almost 17 hrs to reach the Island as I had to take a domestic flight which adds more time to my original long flight.
The food was Ok buy not great, there was not a lot of variation and the menu had many repeated food. Also the menu should offer more details about the food because I don’t know much about asian food; so I didn’t know what I was eating sometimes.

Everything was good apart from the grilled seafood section was the same for 10 days, I only eat grilled food as am diabetic. However it happened that the i chatted with head chef Janaka and he offered me to make different grilled fish but we were leaving on this day when we chatted. Just to mention I rated kandima 10, but all what am saying here is just for improvements only, the gym looked very old and dull with the blue color, the mats were very dirty we decided to stretch in the room instead. We loved the staff saying good bye when we were leaving by boat my wife cried lol she cries all the time 😂 thanks again to everyone especially Luka, Amr, and Tohbi.
