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!

Iru Fushi is what you dream about when thinking of the Maldives. True paradise on your own private island. From the moment you step off of the seaplane, which they organize for you , you are greeted with smiles and five star service for your entire stay. Everywhere you turn from the picturesque restaurants to your overwater villa or private beach villa you feel like you are in a postcard. They maintain the property with the utmost sustainable love and care , no plastic to be found here! Our butler was Fayaz and in our eyes he is a huge asset to the resort and they are lucky to have him. Anything we needed he made happen and with no hesitation. We were blown away how fast the resort and all staff responded if we needed anything, it was almost instant and Fayaz was usually at the head of that. We were traveling with our two children 10,13 who loved the resort just as much as we did. The mostly all day ice cream may have sealed the deal for them along with the waterslide into the ocean and all of the incredible sea life. The next topic is a big one for us as my husband is a chef. We usually shy away from all inclusive resorts as the food is never usually good. Here however the standard of food was incredible. Every night you feel like you are eating in a fine dining restaurant but with your feet in the sand and we were blown away by the standard of food served to us. One of the best meals was at the Indian restaurant where my husband had the lamb shank and said it was one of the best he has ever had. Coming from a fine dining NYC chef that says alot. The addition of the sunset cruise and island excursion were nice additions to the all inclusive package and we thoroughly enjoyed both. Overall being this was a bucket list trip it absolutely lived up to everything we hoped it would be and more. We enjoyed speaking to the staff around the island and hearing where they were from and what brought them to the island. They all seemed happy and you could tell that they really enjoyed working there which is the sign of a resort that truly looks after their staff. It was our first time to the Maldives and without having ever been to any other island I don't know how Iru Fushi could be beat. Don't hesitate to book, just do it you will be so happy you did.

Amazing bucket list experience in the Maldives! We celebrated our anniversary at this 5 star resort and the service and staff and full experience did not disappoint. Our butler, Farhan, was very accommodating and ensured we had a wonderful time by ensuring we were upgraded to a large water villa with infinity pool. He also checked on us every evening and was willing to serve with such graciousness. He kept us informed of any special events on the island as well, such as the tree planting for Earth Day. We spent most our time swimming and snorkeling right in our "backyard" of the villa. Crystal clear water, shallow, plenty of coral and fish to see. Also very easy to walk around the island, walk to the House Reef or Nemo Park, or any beach to swim. Our room was cleaned impeccably twice a day by Riphat. He always popped out onto the deck to say hello with a big smile while we were swimming to let us know he was there. We enjoyed dinner at each of the restaurants - very high quality food - and our favorite bar was Reflections for the sunset view each evening and wonderful selection of cocktails. We even ate lunch there most days. Farhan also arranged a romantic private table on the beach for our last night dinner at Islander's Grill. The table was decorated cute and at the end of our meal we were presented a special large dessert. Then when we returned to our room, the bed was decorated and the jacuzzi tub was ready with hot water and bubbles. What a surprise! Overall we had an amazing time, so many cherished memories, and the seaplane transfer was an adventure in itself! Read less

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
