Perfect for honeymooners, Sun Siyam Iru Veli meanwhile teams a laid-back vibe with upscale inclusions. All suites boast private pools, while diving, spa credit, champagne and more fall within the premium all-inclusive plan. For romantic treats, think cocktails in the Chemistry Bar, treatments in the overwater spa and movies under a star-studded sky.

Fun for friends and families

At family-friendly Sun Siyam Iru Fushi, two under-15s sharing a villa or suite with two adults stay and eat free on the same board basis.

So, if they’re on the dine-around programme, the whole family can enjoy the resort’s French and Asian restaurants, fresh fish grill and more. Children will love exploring with Koamas Kidz Club and meeting turtles on Nemo’s Reef. Meanwhile, diving adults can take a speedboat to discover their own underwater wonders.

For best value and plentiful action for families (or active couples), look to Sun Siyam’s lead-in property, Olhuveli. The resort is spread across three islands connected by bridges, with lagoons perfect for kite surfing, catamaran sailing and windsurfing. Clients can also take an exciting snorkelling trip in search of nurse sharks, dolphins and manta rays. Again, under-15s here stay and eat free.

RITZY NEW RESORT

Reimagining what you expect from the Maldives, Siyam World opened in October 2021, offering great variety and action for fun-loving clients. An impressive 21 accommodation categories include overwater villas, complete with inviting slides. There’s plenty of dining choice too, with 24-hour premium all-inclusive valid across 14 restaurants and bars.

For something extra special, look to The Beach House Collection of 24 one- to six-bedroom Residences in an exclusive enclave. Perfect for friends or multi-generational families, these come with VIP privileges, anytime in-villa breakfasts, 24-hour private butler service and a complimentary dive or spa treatment.

It’s not all about pampering, however. Active clients will love tackling the Indian Ocean’s largest floating water park, Siyam Water World.
