 Accommodation

Each bungalow has its own private beach front. The price to pay for this is the sight of groynes. Almost every bungalow has two groynes either side of its plot. Some of these are low and unobtrusive walls, but others are large and frequent. On the other hand they are the best constructed and maintained groynes in the country. One surprise, on this classy resort is the beach furniture: white plastic chairs and white plastic loungers (though these have a cotton mattress cover).

The rooms were designed, like the whole island, by an Italian Architect. They are undoubtedly in the top few of all the resort rooms (We would like to put Sonevafushi's, Kuda Huraa's and Banyan Tree's up with them). It is not one round design but several curving spaces coming off each other., like the inside of a shell. The sitting room, bedroom and shower/washroom are all large. The shower/washroom itself is bigger than many resorts' bedroom and shower room together. There is no A/C (anywhere on the island) and it is completely unmissed with the abundant slatted windows, high roof and quiet ceiling fan.

Available Meal plans:  Fullboard


  Main Restaurant

Friendly staff is willing to cater for your every wish. Maldivian buffet and barbecues are served twice a week. Home-made delicious ice-creams are also offered with meals.

The restaurant also boasts a deck where one can dine with candles, the twinkling stars and the waves rolling on to the beach.

Most of the food items and ingredients are imported directly from Italy.

_________________ x x x _________________

  Coffee Shop

The coffee shop situated on the beach is where one can relax, have a delicious cocktail and listen to some lovely music or even better to the sound of waves and the wind rustling through the palm leaves.

Besides the serene atmosphere, the coffee shop also offers light snacks, ice cream and alcoholic beverages. The coffee shop is the ideal place to watch the sun go down after a lazy day basking in its brilliance. The golden hue spread across the sky and the passionate red reflected in the clouds is a sight not to be missed. This is truly the ultimate setting for a couple who loves romance.

_________________ x x x _________________

 Facilities & Services

There is no reception, but one enters from the main jetty into a lovely, curvy and comfortable lounge and bar. At the end of the other jetty is the restaurant, and fine dinning is outside on the deck. Dinning is, as expected, of the first class. Only the finest ingredients are imported. Breakfast and lunch are buffet, five of the evening meals are set, and two are barbecues on the beach. At any time, however, you may order in advance some dish you would particularly like and it will be prepared for you at no extra cost. The resort is a high end resort but once here you will not be surprised by a big bill for extras. For example; the telephone and fax charges are possibly the cheapest of any resort. Windsurfing and canoes are free and so are sunset fishing, tennis, badminton and bowls.

Baby Sitting Service available for a fee of USD 20.00 for 8 hours. All ages are accepted.

  Spa

Your Holiday at Nika Island Resort will be full of sun, sea and sand, but if you would like to reinvigorate your Mind and your Body, we suggest You to try our Ayurvedic Centre. You will not be dissapointed. "Ayurveda" means Science of Life and is an ancient knowledge dating from 2000 years ago when Wisdom Masters understood the importance to keep in balance the bio-energetic constitution of Human Being: a healthy body includes long life…

Vatta, Pitta and Kapha, according to the Ayurvedic Medicine, are the three Main Energies of the Body. Only by flowing together can rise the Essential Harmony necessary to equilibrate Life. Through the natural herbs oil massage, the body will be detoxified and purified removing eventual bad blood circulation that can obstruct the energy routes.This science is considered as prevention but is also used successful for various diseases and sickness therapy. Nowadays more and more people recognize the real effects of Ayurveda and it has been adopted all over the world. Nika thinks the same.

  Renewal of Vows

Love and marriage, or so life and the lyric tell us, go together. What more romantic and better way and place to both celebrate and re-dedicate love and marriage, than in that supreme example of the natural world.

  Souvenir Shop

Thinking about finding a souvenir for your loved ones back at home? Nika souvenir shop offers the perfect solution.

  Gardens

One of the most stunning beauties of this tiny paradise is perhaps its spectacular garden. A garden with lavish green, colorful and abundant flowers make Nika the perfect hideaway for romance and relaxation. With the countless number of coconut trees and other tropical plants, Nika is cooler by several degrees on sunny days than other islands where trees have been sacrificed for construction. The constant care and effort of our gardeners keep the vegetation of Nika as a true attraction.

An important part of the gardening is of course the cultivation of fruits such as banana and papaya, salads such as mustard (ruccola) and basil. Ruccola and basil are of course used to create authentic Nika dishes.

_________________ x x x _________________

  Turtle pond

A small pond with seawater circulation has been created for the purpose of raising baby turtles as part of our effort to see their numbers increase in the Maldivian waters.

Baby turtles are usually found from fishing villages. Sometimes they are even hatched on Nika itself. The chances of their survival are much better under our protection than out in the open sea. When the turtles are ready to go they are set free usually during the new year celebration.

Thanks to a government law passed few years ago, prohibiting the fishing of turtles, the sighting of turtles by tourists while snorkeling is on the rise.

  Water - Land Sports

It is not expensive, compared to the branded resorts of Maldives. In here you will not be surprised by a big bill for extras. For example; the telephone and fax charges are possibly not the cheapest of any resort. Windsurfing and canoes are free and so are sunset fishing, tennis (with Flood LIT), badminton and bowls. And Maldivian staffs are ready to enjoy a game of volleyball with any willing guests.

  Fishing

For those who love to fish and spend some time on the sea, Nika island offers a fully furnished local boat “Dhoni” with the latest international fishing equipments and professional crew on board. Fulfill your fantasy of catching a week's catch in one day on our sunset fishing trips and catch the largest fish u ever caught on our big-game-fishing trips.

Sunset Fishing - Daily bottom-line fishing trips are organized. The trip leaved at 1900hrs and returns at 2100hrs. Red snappers, groupers, barracudas and many more are caught. All the fishing gear are supplied and friendly crew will help you to catch your fish. This is a perfect opportunity to watch the sunset while you combat against your catch.

Big Game Fishing - Big game is a special service offered by Nika for many years to the aficionados of fishing. There are boats equipped with combat chairs and fishing rods for you to enjoy a unique fishing experience. With experienced captain and crew, you are guaranteed to bring home a sizable beast from the Maldivian sea which is abundant with various types of fish. The trip begins at 0730hrs and returns at 1300hrs. Usual catches include wahoo, sail fish, barracuda and dolphin fish.

  Leisure Activities - Excursions

Desert Island - Enjoy walking along the beach, at Mathiveri Finolhu Island looking out at the wonderfully turquoise lagoon and feeling the soft white sands beneath your feet. It is an excellent trip for a couple as it ensures full privacy on a little island in the Indian ocean, similar to a Robinson Crusoe setting. Also it is an ideal setting for an aperitif at sunset. Full and half day trips are organized regularly by Nika.

Fishing Villages - To experience the simple Maldivian way of life, take advantage of one of our excursions to the surrounding fishing villages mainly, Bodufolhudhoo (5mins away) and Mathiveri (10mins away).
