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!

Where do I start? Despite having the holiday blues , I can not recommend IruFushi Resort enough. We had a blast and want to come back asap! Upon arrival, we were greeted with the Maldivian traditional flower and was briefed with a fresh welcome drink.. Our room was perfect which exceeded over to the expectation , a beach villa with a lovely pool. We were in room 265, and our maid was exceptional and was always so helpful. The restaurants are outstanding , our favourite was the Trio the Italian, delicious food, quick service and mostly, lovely and friendly staffs gave the feeling of home .. Chatting to the manager along with the rest of the staff were so friendly and helpful. Keep up the good work, guys!! The island is huge . It’s just so cool to get buggy rides to drop where ever u needed.. With my kid having this service was too helpful during the stay .. Couldn’t be more exciting for the unforgettable experience had from the spa.. I’ve never been such a beautiful spa on my entire life the staff who consulted me through the process was a genius I would say.. Bless her hands! And when I got sick the doctor came along with his kit to the villa just in a minute.. everything was so dreamy 😍 Overall, the island is absolutely stunning, the places and the views were mesmerizing and breathtakingly beautiful..I would highly recommend this place to everyone...Cannot wait to come back. 20/20 😇😇♥️♥️ Read less

We have just come back from a one week holiday to the fabulous resort Iru Fushi. From the moment we stepped off our international flight till the time we arrived at the resort by seaplane, we were awed by the smooth transition. The seaplane ride was an experience that we will not forget. The arrival at the resort was great as we were greeted by staff and our butler Fayaz who engaged with us and made us very welcome. We were celebrating our 30th Anniversary and mentioned this when booking our holiday, so when we arrived to the villa there was a lovely welcoming message made out of leaves on the bed welcoming us. We had a box of biscuits and chocolates and a bottle of red wine. However we were disappointed that being a special occasion we were not given an upgraded room, but Fayaz soon sorted this out. After booking a few restaurants for the week, we could not fault the quality of the food. We enjoyed some good dishes at Trio, Flavours, Bamboo and Taste oF India. Breakfast and lunch was varied with lots to choose from the buffet at Iru. We enjoyed using the spa and had the most relaxing couples massage. I enjoyed my facial and my husband enjoyed his Ayurvedic treatment. On our third day, we had a message from Fayaz who informed us that he was taking a break and he would introduce us to another butler - Naveen. By Friday, Naveen who was not very attentive went off on medical leave and we were introduced to Amani our third butler! Well from the very good service we received at the beginning of our stay, this changed drastically with little or no communication from our butler. To the extent that on our last day, Amani was not present to help with our discharge process and accompany us to the sea plane terminal. We witnessed all other guests' butlers collecting their guests from their villas, and accompanying them to the plane. On the morning of our departure, we waited 15 mins for buggy to arrive, in the end we walked to Iru for breakfast. We saw Amani come to the restaurant but she made no effort to find us and it felt that she was looking after her other guests. being our first visit to Maldives, we did not know how the butler service worked, but it felt like we were passed on not once, but twice in our short 1 week holiday. At the terminal Amani came to apologise and although she sounded sincere, it was too late. This left a bitter taste to the end of our holiday and although we had a great time, we did not expect this treatment especially celebrating a milestone anniversary. All in all we found so many staff friendly and helpful and a big thank you to the following staff: Shelton, Damir, Dilshan, Bernard, Nischal and the bar staff at Waters Edge, Nikita and Shusmita in the ice cream parlour, Kristopher who we had a very long chat with, Edwin and Dr Arya at the Thalgo spa, the ladies in the spa that we had treatments with, the head chefs at Iru and Taste of India. These people took the time to make our stay unforgettable. Our special dinner on the beach which Fayaz organised on our last night was memorable, even though it started off very windy, the food was good. Thank you to Chanaka our waiter who was really great and took the time to chat to us and made sure we were having a good evening. On a final note, we did feel that although we mentioned our milestone anniversary the hotel did not really do anything extra, for instance I read from a previous guest that they celebrated a special anniversary and a birthday and they had rose petals put in their jacuzzi and towel animals left each night. We were not expecting this, but a bottle of bubbly would have been nice, instead of the red wine from the mini bar! Mini bar was great, but please consider changing the snack selection! Pringles and nuts....! Would we recommend this hotel to anyone? Yes because we felt the size of the resort was adequate, there were several options for eating at good restaurants. however, would we return, well that would depend on a couple of factors that we experienced with the change of butlers during our stay, and not ending the holiday on a great note. Thank you to all the staff that engaged with us and are our stay memorable. Read less

Amazing family holiday, with top notch service. Stayed in a family villa with pool. Had so many extra services for the kids, like bottle warmer, steamer, baby cot, etc. Our personal butler Ameni took care of all our needs. Nothing was too much to ask from her. Will definitely come back for more amazing memories.

Unforgettable 3 days on the island in the company of wonderful staff and personal sommelier Kim, brought us a lot of positive emotions and allowed us to relax, forgetting about all the worries of everyday work. Definitely recommend a hotel with lots of variations of activities, with beautiful beach and excellent food on any preferences.
