Sun Siyam Iru Fushi

What a fantastic holiday we had at Iru Fushi as we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary on the island early July. We stayed for 7 nights and were thoroughly spoiled and treated like king and queen. The personalised and attentive approach was set right from arrival at Velana International airport where we met our representative and were led to the seaplane terminal where we had some time to refresh and had some food before taking our seaplane to our resort. The welcome to our resort were out of this world and right from the start our butler Naveen looked after us and taken care of our every needs. His patience and understanding are exemplary. All throughout our stay he took care of us and any issues or requests he got back to us almost immediately and helped us so much during our stay. Naveen thank you so much for all you have done we both really appreciate of how much you have looked after us. We also appreciate so much of our house keeper Mari who works so hard to ensure our water villa is clean and prepared. Thank you so much for your anniversary decoration of our room and ensuring our fridge are well stocked. There a plenty of choices in breakfast at Iru restaurant and you are guaranteed to be spoiled for choices. Special mention to Harish who always serve us with a smile and always make sure we have our coffee every morning. Thank you so much Goshan for your kind attention to us and taking your time amongst your busy day to chat with us. A special shout out to Sathis who is a genius pancake artist. Your smile and attention to all guests including the little ones are such a rarity. I have enjoyed the chats we have whilst waiting for your pancake creation A special mention to Sandip on Iru restaurant who looks after us for our evening meals, thank you so much for your attentiveness. We enjoyed so much seeing different types of fishes in the corals just off our villa, the different types of fishes we seen were mind blowing and have left us wanting to return for more. Seeing the turtles, stingrays and sharks has been highlights of our stay. During our stay we also had a spa treatment at Thalgo Spa. The staff at the Spa are all superb and so attentive. A special mention to Jean who helped us to book for our treatment and always took her time to speak to us. We spent most of our afternoon at Reflections pool having a spot of lunch as well cooling off at the pool enjoying the relaxing vibe. The staff at Reflections have all been great but a special mention to Rasul who has been excellent in her service and attentiveness to us for the whole time when we are at the pool side. The staff at Waters Edge are always so friendly and always check on us whether we would like any further drinks or not. Thank you for all your servings of rose coolers. We spent our anniversary meal at Bamboo restaurant and would like to thank all the staff who made every effort to made our anniversary meal so special. Thank you once again to Harendra and the team you guys have made us feel so special and pampered on our anniversary dinner。 Our last evening we went to Taste of India and has a lovely meal there. We are so sorry we did not get your individual names that evening but thank you to all the staff there who made our last evening meal very special indeed. We would like to thank Jaweeth who always checks on us and ensure we are well looked after during our staff. Lastly we would like to thank Naufal for being an amazing manager who took his time to find and chat with us, always checking on us to see if all things are ok. You are not afraid of helping the rest of your staff & team at anytime. You are a fantastic leader of your team and we are so grateful of the care and help you gave to us during our stay all the way to our last day. Sun Siyam Iru Fushi is an amazing island with crystal clear blue water, outstanding natural beauty which is difficulty to rival. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this paradise on earth.

Iru Fushi will always be home in our hearts and we are planning to return home again hopefully in not too distance future. Thank you so much once again from the bottom of our hearts Jane and Biing Read less

Best holiday ever! Perfect location, very well managed. We were celebrating our Golden Wedding Anniversary, and my husbands 171st birthday (!!) and we couldn't have chosen a better venue. From the moment we arrived at Male airport; very tired and jaded by the journey, we didn't have to lift a finger for two weeks. We were greeted by Fayaz,our butler who went above and beyond to make our stay so memorable: including some pretty neat artwork! Ana, our housekeeper not only kept our beach villa with pool, spotless, but always greeted us with warmth and kindness. Fayaz had a wealth of information, and booked venues for all of our evening meals; giving us an early morning itinerary for the day, and checked in with us frequently to resolve any questions or queries we may have. Through him we booked the Sunset Cruise, and the Dolphin Watching Trip, which gave us unforgettable memories to take away... We sampled most of the restaurants and bars, and found the friendliest and most attentive staff everywhere. We particularly loved A Taste of India; where the food was as amazing as the staff, and we kept going back for the butter chicken and the fish curry! As someone who is rubbish at remembering names; I hope I can be forgiven for not listing everyone individually; but Sunaina was a total star, who made every visit just perfect: particularly the last one; where she and the team celebrated our 50th Anniversary with cake and champagne. This was a total surprise; obviously initiated by Fayaz, and deeply appreciated by us. The staff at Iru were equally special; with morning greetings which set the mood for the day. The array of food was staggering, and we were able to sample so many new flavours and dishes at every meal. We loved finding out about Maldivian food, and intend to have a go at some recipies now we are home! A particular namecheck for Bipin, who came to our rescue when our outside breakfast nearly got washed away by a sudden downpour. He jumped in to move us to an indoor table before we even got damp, and made sure that all was well! We are nature lovers, and very pleased to find all the means the resort is taking, of being eco-friendly. Thanks again go to Fayaz for giving us a nature tour of the plants and trees which make this island so beautiful, and for teaching us about the wildlife which makes its home there. Thanks also to Shah( Marine Biologist), who educated us about the reef and the fishes; and then helped me, as a very amateur snorkeller to exprience the joy of the Nemo Garden. One of my best memories will be of the little baby sand coloured, black tip shark who allowed me to accompany him by walking along the shoreline while he swam on his breakfast quest no more than 6 foot away from me. This was our first visit to the Maldives, and I truelly hope it wont be our last. Not only have we had the best anniversary ever; we have learned so much, and met such lovely people on the staff; who come from far and wide to contribute to making Iru Fushi a heaven-on-earth!

We had an absolutely memorable 10-day stay at Sun Siyam. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, the warmth and generosity of the staff stood out in every interaction. Whether it was breakfast, lunch, or dinner, the team’s energy never wavered — always greeting us with a smile, calling our children by name, and even remembering their favorite dishes and ice cream flavors. Those little personal touches made us feel truly cared for. The kids were thrilled with the endless supply of ice cream, and the variety of daily activities kept all of us engaged and entertained. A special shout-out to Shah, the in-house marine biologist — his enthusiasm made both the nature walk and diver’s night genuinely engaging for children and adults alike. The weekly Maldivian cultural evening was another highlight — far more than just performances, it offered meaningful insights into local traditions, from coconut oil making and rope weaving to drumming and spice displays. Add to that the unique experiences like secret sundowners, and it’s clear how much thought goes into creating something special for guests. While the rooms show a bit of age, they’re kept spotless, with housekeeping twice a day and an abundance of fresh towels always on hand — a testament to the resort’s commitment to comfort. A heartfelt thank you to the amazing team who made our stay so wonderful: Harish, Min, Shiv, Naveen, Grishma, Jadeja, Arjola, Gopal, Sunaina, and Vivek. ( we may have forgotten a few names but every staff member was truly exceptional) Your kindness and attention made all the difference. With love and gratitude, Ishaan Ananya Devanshi and Ankush Ps: We finally found the treasure chest on our last day 😊😊 Read less
