For those curious about what makes Sun Siyam resorts in the Maldives stand out, here’s a closer look. With five resorts in this stunning island destination, each one offers unique experiences catering to different types of travelers.
**Siyam World**
This is the newest and largest resort in the Sun Siyam collection. It’s a sprawling paradise with a wide range of activities, dining options, and accommodations. The resort features 18 different room types and is the only one in the Maldives where every overwater villa comes with a private plunge pool and a slide that goes straight into the ocean. The slides are so popular that all future Sun Siyam resorts will include them.
With a large island and separate dining and accommodation areas, the resort never feels crowded. Guests can enjoy various cuisines, including Indian, Maldivian, Japanese teppanyaki, and beach barbecues. There’s also a huge floating water park with slides, trampolines, and obstacle courses. Siyam World also boasts the country’s first underwater Cuda Jet for an exhilarating sea ride, a horse ranch, a massive sports complex, and multi-bedroom villas with luxurious amenities.
**Sun Siyam Iru Fushi**
This smaller island resort is ideal for couples who want a manageable, activity-packed getaway. It offers 125 villas, both beach and overwater, each with a private plunge pool and sea views. Guests can enjoy six bars and restaurants, including an Italian restaurant with ocean views and a seafood grill on the beach. The resort features pool parties, an overwater spa, private cocktail-making classes, and romantic picnics on a secluded sandbank. There’s also a wine-tasting academy and a range of watersport activities.
**Sun Siyam Iru Fushi**
Covering 52 acres, this resort is a romantic haven for couples but also offers plenty of activities for families. It includes a large family pool with a waterfall and splash zones, and adults can relax at a sunset-facing pool with a bar. The resort partners with the French brand Thalgo for its spa services, which offer over 140 treatments. Guests can enjoy kite surfing, snorkeling with manta rays, and other water sports.
**Sun Siyam Olhuveli**
This resort is popular among honeymooners for its stunning house reef and intimate atmosphere. It’s one of the smaller resorts in the collection, offering two-bedroom overwater villas with private pools and direct sea access. Dining options include a beachfront grill with a wine cellar and a restaurant serving a unique blend of Italian and Indian dishes. Activities range from underwater safaris to big game fishing and jet skiing.
**Sun Siyam Fushi**
Favored by divers, this resort is surrounded by over 50 dive sites, including a shipwreck and vibrant coral reefs. It features three main swimming pools, two family pools, and two spas with overwater treatment pavilions. Guests can choose from multiple restaurants serving Indian, Thai, seafood, and pizza. Its proximity to the international airport—just a 45-minute speedboat ride—makes it a convenient choice for shorter trips.
