Niyama Unveils New Surf Shack, the Ultimate Island Hangout

Nature's Playground has long gathered surf pros from around the world. Located in the south of the island nation, where the swells are the most powerful, those in the know set up camp there during peak season for the waves which break right on shore, with others reached in only a few minutes by speedboat.

Niyama's waves break at Vodi Point on the westernmost tip of its two islands. And it is here that the resort unveils a brand-new Surf Shack to make downtime just as exciting. The thatched-roof Surf Shack invites barefoot chilling, with seating on the upper deck to take in fabulous sunsets and further picnic tables below. In line with Niyama's commitment to sustainability, according to Area Chief of Engineering Michael Patrick Slevin, 75 percent of construction materials have been repurposed, blending beach chic with eco-conscious design.

Windows serve up gourmet bites hot off the grill, with a menu inspired by all the world's best surfie destinations: Australian fish and chips, Indonesian satay, Mexican nachos and Japanese takoyaki. The drinks menu, meanwhile, is an ode to all things rum, with a connoisseur's collection and signature cocktails inspired by world-famous breaks.

While laidback during the day, the whole beachfront comes alive at sunset as the tide turns and the DJ amps up the beats. And the resort's rum and reggae Sundays are already legendary.

Surfers at Niyama have the freedom to spend each day as they desire, whether out on the prowl for the next big wave or relaxing back on shore. There is a Surf Centre to equip themselves at, and special recovery packages at Drift by Niyama to ease aching muscles, repair exposed skin and restore energy levels. Resident pro surfers are also always on hand to advise on wave conditions and technique.

"The new Surf Shack is part of the new, evolved Niyama experience, with total refurbishment of the resort's many facilities, imaginative new culinary experiences, and an active lifestyle and wellness brought to the fore," says General Manager of Niyama Private Islands Maldives Hafidh Al Busaidy. "And with so much more on the horizon, which we can't wait to unveil, we invite you to stay tuned."
