 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.

  Beach Villa

Bungalows are built with coral and thatched with coconut leaves. Lattice windows make it possible the pleasant breeze to pass through making the inside of the bungalow cool.
Bathroom with a garden setting is almost of the size of a normal hotel room. Its original design created by an Italian architect is very impressive. Sitting room leads to your private beach where you will find a swing, beach lounges, table and chairs and an umbrella for shadow. You will also find open air showers in bungalows to make it more convenient for your comfort.
The bungalow is fitted with a huge bedroom and with it attached a, sitting room, and next a bathroom; all mixed up giving the looks of shell (size:70sqm)

  Sunset Villa / Deluxe Beach Villa

SunSet Villa is 100sqm. It is perfect for families. It has the largest private beach with excellent snorkeling just few meters from the each. It is fully airconditioned and tastefully decorated and furnished with Local and Italian touch.
The only difference between these villas is that Sunset villas give you easer access to the wonderful house reef. The spacious detached villas boast white sandy private beach.

  Water Villa

The new Water Villas over the northern reef edge have a surface of 100 sq.m each of them comprises 3 separate areas: bedroom, living room and bathroom with wardrobe and same facilities as Garden and Sunset villas. The uniqueness of these Water Villas is in their 3 split levels. The first and lowest just kisses the sea; the second one is a deck with real sand and deckchairs while the third, 2mt above the sea is the ideal deck from which to perfect an all-over tan. The beach is never far away, with a stretch of white sand by the water apartment's jetty.

 Food & Beverage

Nika Island is sold on full board basis, with mineral water and soft drinks included during meals. Italian, international and ethnic cuisine is served buffet-style at lunch and “a la carte” at dinner, with a selection of over 60 wines.

Available Meal plans:

Fullboard

  Main Restaurant

 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.
