One of the largest resorts in the Maldives and Green Key certified, Villa Park Sun Island, really does have something for everyone. If your ultimate dream is to experience the stunning surroundings and get close to the colours of the natural world beneath the ocean, you can scuba dive, snorkel, or sail a catamaran in the pure blue water. Or if you prefer to catch up on some of that much needed rest and recuperation, perhaps some gentle fishing could be for you. On the other hand, if you feel your days are better spent horizontally you can take advantage of an aromatherapy treatment and massage, or simply sunbathe in a secluded cove with absolutely no sign of anyone, anywhere. This is just some of the advantages of this picturesque island in South Ari Atoll. For the evenings, the wealth of restaurants boast an excellent choice of cuisine from around the world, including Al Pontile (the overwater Italian restaurant) and treetop dining experience ZERO.

Honeymoon at villa park sun island

We spent our honeymoon in this resort. I think it couldn't be better. I want to thank and compliment Simna who followed us during our stay and made our honeymoon unforgettable. If one day I go back to the Maldives I will definitely come to the villa park sun island there

My friend and I visited this october Villa Park Sun Island. It was our first vacation in Maldives.
Everything was perfect. The beach, the ocean, the nature, the food.. We never got treated with so much respect and happiness like in Villa Park Sun Island. Every worker had always a smile on their face. We had so much fun. Also talking to the workers made us so happy because they were always motivated and there for us.
Especially to Simna Varghese. She was here for us since our first day. At first my suitcase got broken because of the airport. I told Simna about it and after one hour she wrote me that she found a new suitcase for me. This made me realize how much she cares about people. I had her number during my vacation and she sent me everyday activity chart for the day. When we had questions, we asked her on Whatsapp and we got a fast answer. We felt so safe. At first Simna gave us a „Deluxe Beach Villa“ instead of „Beach Villa“. The room was bigger. This was a gift for us. After some days we got a message that she wants to give us for free the „Beach Pool Villa“ so we can make memories and enjoy every moment. We got a room with a view. We will never forget how friendly and kind Simna was. I never saw someone like her with so much joy and motivation. She does her job with much love.
My friend and me are also planning to come soon to Villa Park Sun Island and we hope we will get Simna Varghese again as our host.

A huge thank you to Pratima, who went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience, even upgrading our room so we could fully enjoy the Maldives. She was always kind, available, and attentive.
Abhishek made our romantic beach dinner unforgettable, taking the time to capture beautiful photos and making the evening truly special.
Sabita was also fantastic, organizing every detail of the dinner with care.
The restaurant staff of the water villa restaurants were outstanding—the chefs made delicious meals, and the smiling receptionist was always helpful.
The resort’s natural beauty, from crystal-clear waters to vibrant marine life, was breathtaking. Watching sharks and stingrays and enjoying the fire show were highlights. We stayed in both the Water Villa (332) and Beach Villa with Pool (267), and both were perfect. It was a magical experience, and we can’t wait to return!
