The hotel

Spread across three stunning islands in South Male Atoll, with gorgeous white beaches and sea views as far as the eye can see, this resort is a Maldivian paradise. Guests can enjoy crystal clear infinity pools, a range of delicious dining options, and water sports in the lagoon. Take relaxation to the next level, by indulging in a spa treatment at one of 22 over-water pavilions, before watching the sunset with a cocktail in hand. Children are catered for, with dedicated play areas, a kids club, and a teen hangout area. And there’s no need for a seaplane, as this resort is 45 minutes from the airport by speedboat – what a way to arrive!

This was the second time to a Sun Siyam resort (previously stayed at Siyam World) and our holiday was fantastic. The arrival at the airport in the morning and quick transfer 30 mins later by boat, meant we were in our prestige water villa by lunchtime. The welcome and introduction by the staff was brilliant our Butler, Nauful was so helpful throughout our staff and anything we needed organised was arranged immediately. We were staying on the main island as opposed to Dream island and were able to eat at Sunset buffet restaurant every day unless we booked one of the other a la carte restaurants which we did a couple of times. Sunset is in a lovely location overlooking the beach and water and had all the buffet options we wanted, the staff were brilliant at looking after us and a special mention to the manager, Chamil and Chinthia who really were so good, all the staff including the omelette chef, ice cream host and Ercam on the fresh fruit stand enjoyed talking to us and being professional and friendly. We eat at Siyam Thai and the Indian restaurant too and the food and service was fantastic again Fatal was really friendly as were all the staff and really provided excellent service. When we were not eating we enjoyed a fishing trip and a sunset cruise as well as the water sports and just relaxing in our amazing villa or wondering the numerous beaches as well as enjoying a sunset cocktail in the Lagoon bar or a drink after dinner with the great daily entertainment. Thank you to everyone for making our holiday so amazing it really is a special place. Read less
