Villa Park Sun Island

Maldives, Indian Ocean

Star rating

The hotel

One of the largest resorts in the Maldives and Green Key certified, Villa Park Sun Island, really does have something for everyone. If your ultimate dream is to experience the stunning surroundings and get close to the colours of the natural world beneath the ocean, you can scuba dive, snorkel, or sail a catamaran in the pure blue water. Or if you prefer to catch up on some of that much needed rest and recuperation, perhaps some gentle fishing could be for you. On the other hand, if you feel your days are better spent horizontally you can take advantage of an aromatherapy treatment and massage, or simply sunbathe in a secluded cove with absolutely no sign of anyone, anywhere. This is just some of the advantages of this picturesque island in South Ari Atoll. For the evenings, the wealth of restaurants boast an excellent choice of cuisine from around the world, including Al Pontile (the overwater Italian restaurant) and treetop dining experience ZERO.

We went to Villa Park Sun Island for our honeymoon. We expected an amazing beach, sun, and relaxation. That was all delivered but we got so much more than that. First of all, we were going to stay at the Deluxe Beach Villa, but the management upgraded us for the full stay of 7 nights to a water villa, absolutely dream like house. We can't thank them enough. We had so much fun doing stand up paddle, canoe, mini golf and exploring the island and all its different bars and cafes. Snack time at sunset at Vaani's was always an incredible time with a breathaking view. We need to thank Nizam, our point of contact person, that treated us with respect and care, and always with a smile at hand, going above and beyond for us to have our dream honeymoon. Also, even being here as a couple, I could see the families having a blast, and the care of the entire staff with the babies and children, so i can also recommend this for family vacations. I highly recommend Vila Park, if you are looking for a place to stay in the Maldives, you wont regret it. Read less

The whole resort is amazing. Just a tropical paradise. The food in the buffet restaurant is fantastic and the Al Pontile Italian restaurant has such delicious food and a view. The staff are incredibly welcoming and can't do enough for you. Our room was a sunset beach bungalow. It was very dark and tired looking, but clean. Not quite what we expected when we arrived. The sunbeds on the beach have your room number on, but people from the garden bungalows still steal them. They're very heavy to move also. We upgraded our room for the second week to an absolutely stunning beach pool villa. The best thing we did! Light, bright and airy. Premium accommodation. Our evenings were spent in Vani coffee shop, where it was relaxing and on the beach. It is away from the bustle of the main bar if you wish. The cocktail menu was extensive. Pratik and the team really looked after us. There was entertainment every night in Vani, a beautiful violinist, Richard the saxophonist who is so talented and also the Villa Park Jazz Vipers who consist of Raymond the singer and guitarist, and the drummer. They're just brilliant. There are a couple of recommendations I'd like to make for Vani, more easy chairs for evening time and people smoking inside the bar area was awful. Apart from that, I'd like to thank Pratima our host, Anju and Manik in the restaurant, Kauser and all the buggy drivers, and not forgetting all the rest of the wonderful staff for making our holiday just amazing. Thank you! Read less
