The hotel

Spread across two stunning islands in South Male Atoll, with gorgeous white beaches and sea views as far as the eye can see, this resort is a Maldivian paradise. Guests can enjoy crystal clear infinity pools, a range of delicious dining options, and water sports in the lagoon. Take relaxation to the next level, by indulging in a spa treatment at one of the two spas including the Ocean Spa which features 8 over-water pavilions, before watching the sunset with a cocktail in hand. Children are catered for, with dedicated play areas, a kids club, and a teen hangout area. And there’s no need for a seaplane, as this resort is 45 minutes from the airport by speedboat – what a way to arrive!

Stayed here in December in an over water villa with pool which was paradise! The room was incredible and Nail always made sure everything was perfect and he was always very friendly! We had a drink at Dhoni bar and Hafeez was brilliant. He was so great to talk to and really made our evening. Our highlight of our whole stay was a night dive with the resident mantas. Myles went above and beyond to make this happen for us and enabled us to have one of the best dives of our lives! Fab divemaster too as he made us feel comfortable on our first night dive. The hotel is amazing and I would recommend it to everyone I know. The over water villa with private pool was luxury however the private pool isn’t a must. We went to the adult only infinity pool and the sunrise pool, both of which were also great. The infinity pool we even had completely to ourselves. The only way I think the hotel could improve is at the cooking stations in the restaurant. There’s always a big queue for things made to order such as omelettes so this put us off waiting, an extra chef would make a big difference. Read less

I visited Sun Siyam Olhuveli in January 2025 with my family and I am short of words to describe our experience there. The top class service, very friendly, well mannered and very knowledgeable staff. The ambiance was beyond my expectations. The beddings were super clean, crisp and luxurious. The food was fresh, delicious with many healthy choices. Everything indoors and outdoors was super clean in the beach villa and water villa. I would give 100 out of 10 for everything we experienced at this resort. Sunset Restaurant: Our special thanks to Emran, Babul and Wazeera for their top notch service and making us feel so welcomed three times every single day of stay. Emran is the fruit guru and always provided us with the best fruit platter. Very warm thanks to Abdulla and Kokan in the housekeeping for providing us with clean and welcoming space every day. I just wanted to say that your hard work is very much appreciated. Namaste restaurant: Our special thanks to Khaled, Akash and Nasir for not only the delicious Indian thali but also for the royal treatment. Thank you for making our experience so memorable. It was not easy saying good bye to Sun Siyam but we left with loads of good memories that we will cherish for a very long time. Read less
