about the forthcoming opening of sister hotel Niyama in October. This 86-room resort covers two islands and brings a more edgy feel to the sleepy Maldives with the world’s first underwater music club and a 24-hour spa.

The tiny island of Bryher is the smallest of five inhabited islands, and on its west side is Hell Bay hotel which is a sublime honeymoon hideaway. “
