Sun Siyam Iru Fushi

Maldives, Indian Ocean

Virgin rating

The hotel

Famous for the continuous white sand beach surrounding the entire island, Sun Siyam Iru Fushi is an idyllic setting for romantic and family trips alike. The 52 acre island allows for space and seclusion when you want it, but there are plenty of bars and restaurants with a great atmosphere and live music, when you’re ready for an upbeat evening. Whichever room type you opt for, you won’t be disappointed. Sunset Horizon Water Villas are great for couples getaways – savour that Maldivan sunset each day from your private outdoor jacuzzi with a sundowner in hand, these are some of the most coveted accommodations on the island. If there’s a group of you, you might want to opt for a Pool Beach Villa, with ample space for outdoor drinks on the beachfront terrace and a dip in the private pool. If you’re feeling active then there’s plenty to keep you on your feet, from watersports to tennis, or for a more relaxing activity then visit the award winning spa for a treatment, the kids will be well looked after in the kids’ club whilst you get some much needed “me time”. And it’s hard to know where to start when it comes to dining, from casual snacks by the pool to teppanyaki at your table, overwater champagne bar to beachfront fine dining, they have it all. You may even just fancy a pizza in the comfort of your villa, no requests is too big!

Takes quite a long time to travel there from South Africa. Butler Fayaz was world class and very accommodating and efficient. Did a fantastic job arranging our itinerary. Was quite expensive, great having so many restaurant options included in All Inclusive package..Limited variety of evening entertainment, as they used mainly same entertainers. Variety of drinks included was great. Main issue I had was that I requested a few special things to be added to stay, as we will produce YouTube content as social influencers, and that took plenty time and resources to put together a professional promo to attract other guests, friends and contacts to this resort, but not a single request was agreed to or offered throughout our stay. Room air conditioning could be a bit more efficient, some venues could do with air conditioning, being so hot and humid. Read less

My partner and I recently stayed in this amazing resort, it is absolutely fabulous. The staff are all so friendly and helpful. A special mention for our butler, Azzam, he could not have done more, attentive without being intrusive, he was brilliant. We hadn't booked any restaurants before we went so he had made some provisional bookings for us, really went above and beyond. The buffet restaurant is the best of it's type I have been to in any 5* hotel, you could have almost anything you wanted and again the staff were great, if you couldn't find something they were happy to go get it for you. The beaches are stunning and I can not praise the resort enough. We hope to be back in the not so distant future. Thank you to all the staff for making our holiday so memorable. See you soon.

I just wanted to express my gratitude to the whole team at Sun Siyam Iru Fushi. We have just returned from a 7 night stay with our two children (6 & 3) and we had the best time ever. Even before we reached we found the app super helpful and were advised to make our reservations for dinners beforehand which I reccomend to anyone to do so. They answered any questions we had promptly and I knew we would be in for great service. When we reached Male we were fully taken care of by the Sun Siyam team, they guided us to check all our luggage for the sea plane and took us to the lounge to chill before leaving. The lounge was so great, massages, plenty of food, a chance to freshen up after a long flight. Upon arrival we were greeted by the wonderful team and we were instantly transported into paradise. It is beautiful. Food: All the restaurants and food did not disappoint at all - we never had a bad meal, their buffet is plentiful my kids absolutely loved Saitsh the pancake artist, he made their pancakes into anything they wanted, highlight for them. For kids, they had everything kids would want, healthy foods, kids food in every restaurant, they had a soft play in the buffet too. Some key people to mention, Suchith at Islanders Grill, a truly exceptional waiter so attentive to our needs and a lovely man. Shelton, we met at various restaurants, a very lovely man. Kristoffer, he felt like family by the end of the trip truly lovely human who looked after us so much and Ibhriham he was at various restaurants and really looked after us well. Activities: we spent alot of our time at the Fluid pool a special shout out to De Silva, he went over and beyond for us a smiley face at all times. Snorkelling at Nemo park an amazing experience and a shout out to the instructor there she made me feel at such ease. Kids Club was fun they have a nightly disco and activities throughout the day, Leah was a superstar, my kids Ayla and Sai, loved her and I felt so safe leaving them with her. Reehan and his wife thank you also for our wonderful photoshoot we will always treasure our pictures. Spa is INCREDIBLE too a must visit. They have fabulous buggy system around the resort which really is faster than uber and a better service, thank you to all our great buggy drivers especially Venkat he was very sweet to us. Rooms: very spacious we had a deluxe villa with pool and was wonderful for a family of four, no complaints. We had a butler Neesh, a big thank you for all that you helped us with. Available and responsive at all times. We hope to be back very time, thank you for making it everything we wanted it to be! The Sharma Family. Read less

Have just got home from a wonderful 7 night stay here for our honeymoon. The service was second to none. From arriving at Male airport, we were greeted by representatives from Sun Siyam who made the whole process of baggage, transfers and seaplanes a breeze in what could be a stressful situation. Everyone we met were friendly, happy and professional. The hotel itself is beautiful. We stayed in an Overwater Villa that was spacious and had everything you needed - along with a stunning view and access into the lagoon (which was like swimming in a heated pool!) Our fantastic room attendant, Hassan, was absolutely incredible. A lovely man who went above and beyond to make our stay personable. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he always had a smile on his face. As it was our honeymoon, he arranged some fantastic bed layouts for us and notes which were really lovely. All the food in the resort was 10/10. We are foodies and admittedly I can be fussy with quality but I loved the food. The restaurants all had a wonderful setting with different cuisines and great menu’s - something for everyone. For breakfast and lunch, the Iru Restaurant buffet had a wide selection of everything you could want. I will massively miss the freshly grilled Tuna steaks, perfectly cooked by Dinesh! We also were looked after here by the very kind Ibrahim who was so attentive. He knew our drinks order after the 1st day and from there on, would greet us everyday with our drinks already on order. He was just lovely and so nice to get to know him. The island showed a wide array of wildlife which was magical. I don’t think I could ever get tired of seeing them all! Manta rays, turtles, black tip sharks, reef sharks, lizards and most surprisingly the huge flying fox bats! The island is clearly well looked after and I think there were more staff there than guests! All very polite and always smiled and said hello. We had our own butler Corinne, who was available throughout our stay if we needed anything. There are plenty of activities to do if you want to, but for us, we were more than happy to just relax, have a stroll along the beeches and go for dinner and drinks in the evenings. Overall, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to any of our family and friends and it truly was the perfect, most special honeymoon, made even better by the wonderful staff. They clearly love working there, many had been there for a long time. A really special mention to Hassan and Ibrahim for those personal touches in making our stay that bit more magical. Thank you! A holiday we will remember for life! Read less
