Maldives, Indian Ocean

Star 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. And not forgetting, all villas come with a multilingual butler service! If you’re feeling active then there’s plenty to keep you on your feet, from water sports to tennis, or for a more relaxing activity then visit the award-winning Spa by Thalgo which offers over 160 treatments, 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, with a choice of 15 bars and restaurants 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!

We have had a lovely stay at Sun Siyam Iru Fushi. Despite not having the best weather (not the hotels fault), we have had a great time. Restaurants are great, lots of opportunities to book ala carte with no restrictions on how many times you visit. Bamboo restaurant: visited 3 times. Tempura Prawns are a must. All staff are great but special thanks to Pratek. Indian: lovely food, great service from Jadeja. Even though India beat England in the cricket whilst we were here. Flavours: strangely the restaurant we didn't think we would like is the best! Lovely food and service (sorry, I'm not sure of names, but everyone there deserves a well done) Lots of fish and sharks to see in the water. Wine Cellar: This was an additional cost but a memorable evening that will go down as a favourite memory. No Mistake bar is quiet, but all staff there and Reflections pool bar are great. Thank you to Prince and everyone else. Snorkelling: It's good. There is the House reef and Nemo Reef. Saw lots of different fish. Sometimes, there are lots of fish, other times not so many. All staff at the diving centre are friendly and knowledgeable. Saw Turtles, rays, and fish from the over water bridges. Evening entertainment: Good but could be better. Same band every night. Sometimes busy but other times very quiet. We would have preferred more variety. Breakfast: Large variety of foods. Egg station serving pancakes, omelette, fried, boiled and scrambled egg. Islanders Grill: This restaurant is an additional cost. We didn't eat here but did pass by most days This restaurant is empty! Possibly due to out of season but it's a really lovely location and not many people seem to be paying. I understand the need to make money vut possibly look at appealing to more people. Paying to eat in an empty restaurant is not ideal. House Keeping: Thank you Saddam for all of your hard work and little treats. Music; There is music that is played repetively throughout the day, around the main bar, Islanders Grill, No Mistake and Reflections is awful! It plays the same three notes over and over. Management... please change this, even if it's for the staff. Thank you to everyone for making this a holiday to remember. Read less

Iru fushi revitalised us ! We stayed 9 days and I could have stayed longer . The food the service the beaches , the spa were all spectacular . Our butler Ninh was fantastic and always present on txt or personally . All the buggy drivers , chefs , waiters were so polite and helpful . We had the pool beach villa which was lovely ! Nothing is perfect but this was very close . It ofcourse rained a few times and mild storms which meant I didn’t get a chance to do everything I wanted to but just being in the white sand and blue waters was enough . Read less
