 Nika
Island Resort, built on Kudafolhudhoo island, located just 74kms
from Male' International airport boasts private beaches for each
bungalow. 26 spacious beach bungalows and suite stand proud on the
beachfront, just few meters from the sea, giving them direct access
to the private beach.
The
recently built 10 water apartments with a floor space of 110sqm are
located in the lagoon on the northeast of the island. Water
apartments are designed and built in 3 nucleuses: A sitting room and
a bedroom with sea view, and a bath room and a toilet. Connecting
the 3 nucleuses is a hall with wardrobe and an extra bed incase of a
third person.
The
island is named after the majestic banyan tree called “Nika” in
dhivehi. The giant tree which shoots down its roots into the Nika
soil to support its growing weight, is home to many types of birds
and fruit bats. This tree is believed to be about 350 years old.
As with all
islands in the Maldives , Nika possesses all the glory of tropical
islands. The white sandy beaches and the seemingly endless crystal
clear lagoon surrounding the island offers an experience that will
not be matched elsewhere.
However, what marks it out against
other resorts is that our clientele receive the most private
experience possible and is wrapped in a feeling of being truly away
from “it” all. As soon as you step on to the island you will feel
the last of your worries disappear. The sight that awaits you when
you hop onto the island is guaranteed to take your breathe away.
Restaurant
Nika
Island is sold on full board basis, with beverages not included.
Italian, International and Maldivian cuisine is served buffet-style
at lunch and “ŕ la carte” at dinner and a selection of over 60 wines
is offered. 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.
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.
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.
Garden
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.
Sport
Different types of sports are
available at Nika to make your stay healthy and enjoyable. They
include, wind surfing, beach volley, canoeing, badmington, tennis
and bocce ball which are available. Water ski is available and is
for payment.
