New brand Niva Hotels & Resorts offers clients a soul-stirring way to discover its range of lifestyle-led properties
The idyllic island scenery of the Maldives and the Seychelles should be enjoyed slowly and liberally. They’re places where clients can escape schedules, stress and the daily grind. That’s exactly the philosophy of new lifestyle resort brand Niva Hotels & Resorts, part of the Versa Hospitality (formerly Universal Resorts) family.
Niva’s collection of lifestyle-led resorts currently span the Indian Ocean, with plans to expand beyond. It launches this month with Niva Labriz Seychelles, Niva Velassaru Maldives and Niva Dhigali Maldives. Niva Kuramathi Maldives will join in February, followed by Niva Kurumba Maldives in March and Niva Aria Seychelles in early 2027.
These resorts are already renowned for their excellence, but by bringing them together as one family, Niva will allow their unique personalities to continue shining while embodying its shared promise: effortless elegance, intuitive warmth and the freedom to live unforced.
These resorts are where life should be lived without boundaries, where clients can find relief among the palm-studded scenery, away from the constraints of daily life. The Niva lifestyle is all about clients cherishing the simple moments: enjoying a sundowner at the bar, hearing music that has them on their feet or just soaking up the silence from their private terrace. These are experiences that will really stir your clients’ senses.
After all, at each of its resorts Niva believes true luxury isn’t about status, but about the soul.
