In a time of proliferating brands and increasing resort openings in the Maldives, Nika Island Resort and Spa, one of the first properties to open in Ari Atoll, is looking at reviving the associations of a ‘Maldives that used to be’. Instead of competing on the more currently fashionable trends of more and more exotic F&B offerings, hosting trendy fitness coaches and esoteric wellness regimes, Nika is celebrating the authenticity of a past that is present in the very architecture and design of the resort with the extensive use of coral stone walls and coconut palm thatch roofing.
