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!

It was our first time at the beautiful paraside Maldiven, As a couple we had a great experience with our butler. However Unfortunately our morning fishing trip didn't went well as our guide was dozed on the trip and the boat crews were the ones helping us out. It was an awful experience. Never coming back to this place 😪

Our honeymoon at the Sun Siyam Iru Fushi was simply spectacular! A beautiful island, providing the perfect way to relax and unwind. This was our first time in the Maldives, and we had high expectations having seen so many pictures beforehand. Nevertheless, we continued to have our expectations exceeded. Our butler Nasif was very attentive, quick to respond to any queries we had (mostly via Whasapp) and made our stay here extra special. Frankly, the staff in general were superb, and always went the extra mile. Some nights we were greeted on our return from our evening meal to sweets/chocolates the housekeeping team had left in our villa. It’s sometimes the small gestures like this that give a real feeling of luxury. We stayed in a deluxe beach villa with its own pool. I would certainly recommend this over a water villa, given you have the choice of using your own private pool or going in the sea - just a few more steps forward onto the beach! Having seen the accommodation available in person during our stay, we would have gone for exactly the same again. There are 14 restaurants on the island to choose from, and we visited most of these during our 10 night stay. All of them are superb, the settings are incredible and the food at all of them was truly five star. We went for a bed and breakfast package, which suited us well, but we often skipped lunch as we eat breakfast late in the morning and went for dinner earlier in the evening. But if you’re planning on having breakfast, lunch, dinner and evening drinks every day of your stay, an all inclusive package would likely pay dividends. There is an app that you get access to on arrival specifically for the resort. It has lots of information, including restaurant/bar menu’s, booking slots for restaurants, excursion information and a ‘what’s on’ area that has a list of activities taking place over the next week. There’s also an itinerary that keeps track of your bookings for each day, if you prefer to stay organised. You do need to book restaurants a few nights in advance usually, as they can book up most days. We also added on a private sunset boat trip (1 hour), floating breakfast delivered to our pool villa, and we used the Spa on what happened to be our one rainy day we did have. The Spa is insane! This isn’t usually my sort of thing but we were not disappointed - it’s fair to say we’d have been back again if we weren’t setting off home shortly after. The spa and excursions will be an extra cost, which is worth bearing in mind. We also did Kayaking around the island which is complimentary for 1 hour per day. We didn’t do any diving or snorkelling experiences (however I did buy snorkelling gear on the island which I used in the sea). From those we spoke to on the island that had done these experiences, they had only positive things to say about them. I could honestly go on and on! This was a dream honeymoon and we made so many memories that will stay with us both forever. I can’t speak for other resorts in the Maldives, but if this is your first time visiting this stunning country, look no further than Sun Siyam Iru Fushi !!! 🏝️ Read less

Since we arrived to to the airport we were looked after very well by sunsiyam staff until our boarding to the flight.While we waited for the seaplane ,stayed in irufushi lounge, it was spacious with lots of availability of foods and drinks and complimentary head and shoulder massage which makes you relax. We checked in online, it was so easy and gave us more time to explore the resort once we reached. Upon arrival to resort our butler fayaz welcomed us at jetty and gave small briefing about the resort and escorted to the room which was spacious and amazing. We booked photos shoot at sunset, the clicks were beyond our expectations, and the Spa is a must visit place, no words describe the staff’s dedication to go over the top. We made some beautiful memories, special thanks to our butler Fayaz and the amazing Naufal, javeed, Basith Thank you Irufushi🌞 Read less
