    Relaxing Stay with Great Food and Service

    The only minor downsides were finding two wall geckos in our water villa (which makes me think the roof might not be sealed in a few spots) and the Wi-Fi not covering some areas in the island or in the restaurant and the water in the restaurant not free if not in the buffet. Other than that, everything was fantastic, and I’d definitely come back again. Highly recommended!

    We had an amazing time. The atmosphere was perfect for relaxation, the food was absolutely delicious, and the staff were welcoming and friendly and always ready to help. They even accepted my suggestion to start offering early-morning yoga sessions, which I really appreciated.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Paradise at Nika Resort Maldives! My stay at Nika Resort Maldives was nothing short of magical! From the moment I arrived, I was mesmerized by the breathtaking beauty of the island—crystal-clear turquoise waters, powdery white sand, and lush greenery created a true tropical paradise. 
I stayed in a stunning beach villa that offered complete privacy and direct access to the ocean. The design was elegant, blending Maldivian charm with modern comforts. Waking up to the sound of gentle waves and enjoying sunset views from my private deck was pure bliss! 
The staff at Nika Resort went above and beyond to make my stay unforgettable. Their warm hospitality, attention to detail, and genuine smiles made me feel like a VIP. Special thanks to Carolina, Elena, Ahmed and for their outstanding service! 
The food was exquisite—fresh seafood, delicious international cuisine, and beautifully presented dishes. The beachfront dining under the stars was a highlight, and the chefs accommodated dietary requests with a smile. Special thanks to the bartender, Amid. 
Nika Resort is a hidden gem in the Maldives, offering luxury, tranquility, and authentic island charm. I left feeling completely refreshed and already dream of returning. Highly recommended for honeymooners, couples, or anyone seeking a slice of heaven! Thank you, Nika Resort, for an unforgettable escape!

    In such resort as Nika is Water must be free of charge. Ofer of Salads is not so reach And tomato should be availible at dinner.

    Small privat beach at deluxxe beach villa realy give you feeling of your own small paradise in the midle of indian ocean. Clean and comfortable space and egzotic sound of silence inside and outside, with moustly inisible but always smilenig staf in atmosphere of small green tropical haven make you feel very peacefull and relaxed. Last but not least Nika time is exscelemt idea which give you oportunity to enjoi all 12 hours of daylight on Maldives.

    It would be super helpful if there were tags next to each food item at the buffet, stating what’s in it for people with restrictions, like dairy, nuts, meat, gluten, etc.

    The staff were super kind and helpful, making us feel welcome and valued. The two bars were very lovely. The rooms were spacious and beautifully designed and the entire property was kept clean and tidy. Gorgeous spots to scuba dive as well as for snorkeling including the house reefs. The cooks made sure we were well served as vegans (even making special ice cream for us) which we really appreciated greatly. We were very pleased to learn about their efforts to be sustainable. They really do everything possible in that direction.

    Nika was wonderful! We extended our stay for a total of 10 days. Anna, our guest relations manager was helpful and attentive! The rest of the hotel team was also amazing! It's an Italian hotel so the food was good.

    No way to walk around the island on seaside (beach villas territory), good snorkeling is just at one side of the island.

    Amazing place, amazing people, unexpected great Italian food in the middle of Indian ocean! Very friendly stuff without any exceptions: room-boys, chefs in the restaurant , SPA center ladies, GRO (Anna, Luka hello)), sea-guides (Ali, thanks for your kindness and videos!) and especially owners - lovely Giovanna and her brother. Thank you guys for warm feeling like at home between family members! Very clean and green-blooming territory , island looks like a garden with eco friendly and plastic free mood. Beach villas of interesting design have private beaches, comfortable beds and charismatic Maldivian atmosphere. Would love to have longer holidays staying there or come back once again!

All island Nika is beautiful green , and very clean. We will be back with the pleasure. Thank you

    Surrounded by a lively and beautiful reef, offering great service, food, spa and unforgettable excursion trips(manta, turtle and whale shark snorkelling, etc )Nika was the best choice we could make in Maldives. Hard to find another resort that provides fresh smelling towels at all times :) We’ve extended our stay for 4 more days and experienced both beach villa and water villa.. Both were breathtaking. Already looking forward to our next stay

    They made up nonsense Nika Time thing. When you step onto island, time goes 2 hours forward from Male time, which doesn’t make sense because you flew just 25 min seaplane just 50 miles even west of Male. Dinner starts 9 pm which is too late. Breakfast starts 9 am and both only takes 1 hour 30 minutes. The pressure to pay the bill. We had time window to pay the bill. not during check out. If you have something after pay the bill you can pay during check out. And why I paid it before then if I could do it during check out???

    Private beach, spacious room, cleanliness and staff especially chefs

    Definitely OVERPRICED

    First, everything is extra. We had rented the one of most expensive family room and despite this, everything was extra. Being used to 4&5 star hotels, I have never seen this before In addition, the teams are really too aggressive commercially speaking. Trying to constantly sell you excursions and massages. Even interrupting your dinner. For a so-called luxury hotel, we had a water leak in the ceiling and the safe had to be changed twice because it did not work. Concerning the beach, the sunbeds always remain outside despite the rain, which prevents you from using them because they are too wet and humid the day after. Despite the bar next to the beach, there is no service or beach attendant. you must go to the bar if you want to order. We had our return flight scheduled for 4:15pm with a check-out at 12pm, we asked for the possibility of a late check-out, which was not possible, however, we were moved to a 2-star category room which we were charged $60 excluding tax for only 2 hours of occupancy

    Obviously the location. The island itself is nice and the beach as well.

    There is no sound proof in room and it’s very quiet beach with no activity at all in the resort or music on the beach plus the food wasn’t that great.

    Very pricey. Not much food variety for breakfast, esp. Timber roof structure decaying dropping fine amounts of wood chips regularly into centre of bed

    The reefs around the beach had good marine life. Saw the occasional black tip sharks and travelly. Nursesharks come to the bar side waters at night.

    Many things missing. Can't score 5 star at all. 1. Very Very poor food options pizza and spaghetti 😅 2. Everything snorkeling set, any drinks( Inc water) every extra move is chargeable even had full board 3. Washroom so small. no designated proper shower area once if u open shower whole place gets wet. 3. To commercial hotel. Long things to short, If u are looking for great stay and reading reviews keep in mind☝️, all bad reviews under exist till now in hotel!!!

    Only fun part watching sharks in the night
