Niyama island

Niyama is an island resort in Dhaalu atoll, Maldives. In fact, these are two islets connected by bridge. So there are a lot of different good beaches. Definitely, there are some downsides as well, but these are quite typical for most of Maldivian islands. Sometimes there are a lot of mosquitoes, broken corals on the seabed, dead home reef and lack of entertainment. Shore and seabed: sand. [edit]
