Pleasant Maldives Recommends
Nika Urban Design Hotel
Nika is for travelers who find standard hotel lobbies alienating. Concrete, teak, and a collection of Maldivian contemporary art that would hold its own in any capital city. The rooftop pool faces the lagoon; the hammam is available from 06:00 for early risers. Stopover or not, it is a considered place to be.
“I wasn't expecting to care about a hotel corridor. I did. The art changes every six months apparently.”
