Villa Park Sun Island | Maldives, Indian Ocean | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Maldives, Indian Ocean

4 stars

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.

“Pretty Good”

Sep 18, 2025PHBeard

Myself and my Husband have been to the Maldives now 3 times, this time bring our two friends along as well. We loved our holiday. We did the marine Explorer trip and Raffu went above and beyond with us, even showing us where on the island turtles can be found and where they were planting new coral. He was definitely a highlight of the trip, helping us see Mantas (a personal favourite), whale sharks and turtles. Even spotted Dolphins for us, giving us an up close view of these incredible creatures. From the rest of the staff, Alam and Ibrahim were far above everyone else. We are use to the staff on these resorts being very positive and happy to serve you, but here we felt a lot of the staff were inconvenienced by us or didn't have any enthusiasm. I think because we have experienced better at other islands we expected more. That being said these two were phenomenal and definitely made up for the rest of the vibe with their caring and attentive nature. The free line fishing trip was something my husband was looking forward to, however we were very disappointed by this. Not by the lack of catching anything (very aware that's a possibility) but by the lack of care from the boat crew. They didn't explain how to do it, barely helped, and seemed to roll their eyes everytime I asked for help. A big disappointment compared with the other islands when we have done this, we were helped and the crew were a lot more chatty. Here, there other guests were more fun than any of the crew. All in all a great trip for what we did but we'll probably visit elsewhere before coming back. However the food here is outstanding at the buffet.

“Holiday in Paradise 🐚🐠🐢💍🩷”

Sep 18, 2025Hannah B

The most beautiful 7 nights in paradise. I was speechless from the moment we arrived. Our Lagoon Beach Villa with beach access was out of this world, waking up to that review every morning was incredible. Pratima welcomed us and was accessible via whats app at all times. The beach was crystal clear beautiful shade of blue and the white sandy beaches, as you would expect. We snorkelled multiple times and saw a turtle, shark and beautiful fish. The sharks were incredible to see around 6pm by the water bungalows. Dulal looked after us when we spent a few days at the pool and ensured we had the best loungers. Then sandip at the pool bar worked so hard to ensure everyone had their drinks and kept hydrated. Our 2nd to last night we got engaged at sunset which just topped off this amazing experience, what a lucky girl I am. We had a complimentary three course meal at the Italian as part of our all inclusive package which was delicious All inclusive is highly recommend! We were worried about it being rainy season but had 7 days of hot sunshine. With the occasional rain shower but only through the night. Beautiful walks around the island and regular buggys for transport 100% recommend and you have to visit the Maldives once in your life

“Sun island Teppanyaki”

Sep 17, 2025Adventure31130829694

Genuinely enjoyed the Teppanyaki probably one of the best things I've eaten in the past 10 years! Not even kidding the chef (Ronel) was fantastic and the the waiter (Santhana) made our experience. Nothing was too much trouble. They could not do enough. It has made the last evening on sun island extra special! We could not have asked for a better honeymoon!
