A PIECE OF MALDIVIAN HISTORY

Nika Island is a piece of Maldivian history, one of the first islands in Ari Atoll to become a unique destination in the world. Nika Island is the heavenly island of our collective imagination. A platform where the typical concepts of Maldivian tradition and beauty blend with Italian culture. Nika is the island where nothing has changed. A place where you come to experience the Maldives of times past. “A thing of beauty is a joy forever,” wrote the English poet Keats – the beauty of Nika transcends any description. This island is suspended in time, immune to the dynamics of massive tourism that are redefining the Maldives today. An ambitious alchemical experiment, unrepeatable and totally successful, that has written an important chapter in the history of tourism in the Maldives.

LOCATION

The Resort is located on Kudafolhudhoo Island, in Ari Atoll, a 25-minute seaplane ride from Malé. The arrival terminal is connected to the island, ensuring immediate access to the resort.

DEFINE LUXURY

“Luxury” at Nika means walking barefoot all over the island: forget marbles and crystals of large international chains. At Nika, we prefer to walk in contact with the sand. “Luxury” at Nika is the freedom not to worry about dress code or your makeup, just like at home. “Luxury” at Nika is the silence of a private beach. “Luxury” the Nika is to reduce light pollution at night to the bare minimum, to admire the Milky Way and not to disturb turtles that lay their eggs on our beaches.
“Luxury” at Nika is to experience Maldivian tradition and culture, without giving up the comforts of high-class hotel services.
“Luxury” at Nika is to let time flow slowly, worry-free.

Gallery

Nika has always preserved nature and culture in the Maldives: before converting into an iconic resort, the island was used by the community of the nearby islanders for growing fruit trees and for repairing Dhonis, the typical boats used by Maldivian fishermen.

Social wall

🏡🐠🐳 From the lively and colorful coral reef, 8 Water Villas and 2 Family Water Villas emerge, called with the names of the most famous Venetian painters, consisting of 3 nuclei located on three different levels: the first, at the surface of the water from which to dive; the second with a large wooden terrace and space to place deckchairs; the third between the roofs, a solarium from which to admire the infinite while enjoying the pleasant sea breeze.

Thanks to @mai.jameel for this amazing sketch 🙏 The kind Island is a piece of Maldivian history since 1983
The Villas are a stone’s throw from the crystal clear waters and from the coral reef, each with a private beach and lush garden

Luxury’ at Nika is being able to walk barefoot, in contact with the sand in all areas of the island. ‘Luxury’ at Nika is the freedom of not having to worry about the dress code or the ‘make-up’, exactly like at home. ‘Luxury’ at Nika is the silence of the private beach, the reduction of night lighting to the essential to admire the Milky Way and not disturb the turtles that lay their eggs on our beaches. ‘Luxury’ at Nika is experiencing Maldivian tradition and culture, sleeping on beds made by Maldivian carpenters, without giving up the comfort of the services of an international hotel. ‘Luxury’ at Nika is letting time flow slowly, without worrying, it is enjoying a Nika-time, a time zone 2 hours ahead of the capital Malé, which gives more sunlight every day. Like on another planet. ‘Luxury’ at Nika is savouring the uniqueness of an island that refers to and recalls Venice, foundations in water, equally dreamlike, with echoes of the Orient and spices. The creative and at the same time exploratory lunge of the Nika. #forty40 #unika #privatebeach ...

In the Maldives the value of an island is reported on the basis of the number of coconut palms present on it. In fact, the most diverse materials are obtained from these plants, such as foodstuffs and copra from coconuts, wood to build boats, furniture and even buildings, while mats are made with the leaves. In Nika we have 536 palms.

Vitamin Coconut, anyone?
