The Maldives consists of 1,200 islands, of which 144 can be visited by tourists. With so many amazing options to choose from, finding the perfect resort for your beach getaway can be challenging.

Our Maldives specialists have personally experienced a variety of accommodations, and the family-run Sun Siyam hotels are among their favorites for an unforgettable stay. The group’s five properties each have their own unique charm, and our experts reveal why they are a fantastic choice for your next Maldives vacation.

1 An award-winning oasis of wellness

In December 2024, Sun Siyam’s spas were recognized for their high professional standards by CIDESCO, the world’s largest international association for beauty therapy.

The spa at Sun Siyam Iru Fushi has also been named ‘Best Luxury Spa’ award five times in a row. From Ayurvedic therapies to Chinese medicine treatments, The Spa by Thalgo France promises a fantastic wellness experience that uses Eastern and Western methods. Their expert team of therapists is supported by an Ayurvedic doctor, a Chinese medicine consultant and a yoga instructor.

2 A truly Maldivian experience

While there are many international hotel chains in the Maldives, we also love supporting resorts that are owned by local families.

Sun Siyam’s journey began in 1998, when Ahmed Siyam Mohamed opened his first hotel, Vilu Reef. Today, the brand has grown to include five properties in the Maldives and one in Sri Lanka. What sets them apart and unites them is the warm hospitality of their team, many of whom have been with Sun Siyam group since the beginning.

We recommend: Experience exceptional guest service at Sun Siyam Iru Veli, a premium all-inclusive resort. Enjoy a professionally guided wine tasting session or learn the art of fishing from a local fisherman.

The reefs are teeming with colorful corals and playful clownfish. Vilu Reef in particular is surrounded by some of the most beautiful coral reefs in the Maldives. Keep an eye out for dolphins, young reef sharks, and a variety of brightly colored fish. The region is truly a snorkeler’s paradise.

We recommend: The wonderful Vilu Reef is the smallest of the five Sun Siyam properties, which is why we advise you to secure your place as soon as possible.

All of Sun Siyam’s resorts have been awarded the prestigious Travelife Gold certificate. It recognizes the group’s sustainability efforts in the areas of energy efficiency, resource conservation and biodiversity.

Sun Siyam has always led the way in terms of sustainability and social responsibility. Recently, they also won the award for ‘Most Influential Sustainable Hotel Group of the Year’ at the 2025 GO TRAVEL Awards.

We recommend: You can experience the various sustainability initiatives at Sun Siyam Olhuveli like Ruby the Fish (a structure for the proper disposal of plastic) and their coral reef restoration project.

Siyam World, which opened in 2021, is described as the “uncompromisingly fun” member of the Sun Siyam family. All its water villas have a slide and a private pool.

This all-inclusive paradise is located on a sprawling 54-hectare island, one of the largest in the Maldives. The hotel’s water park is renowned as the largest floating water park in the Indian Ocean.

We recommend: Go for a spin around the hotel’s go-kart track, or enjoy a leisurely evening horseback ride along the beach. These activities are only available at Siyam World.
