Our honeymoon at Sun Siyam Iru Fushi was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with the warmest hospitality and treated so kindly by every single staff member. The resort itself is absolutely breathtaking — paradise in every way. The food was AMAZING, with so many delicious options every day that exceeded all our expectations. Every meal felt special and beautifully prepared. I’m going to miss the breakfast buffet!! Our villa, the beaches, the views, and the overall atmosphere made this the perfect place to celebrate the start of our marriage. It was peaceful, fun, romantic, and we had enough privacy to spend quality time together the entire trip. Thank you to the incredible team for making our honeymoon so magical and memorable. We cannot wait to come back someday! Special thank you to our butler Azzam for being so professional, accommodating, and knowledgeable about the resort. He made us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived from the seaplane. **** My personal suggestion**** select the PREMIUM ALL INCLUSIVE OPTION, you will not regret it as the individual food prices (in USD) is not cheap.

We had a great stay at Iru over the Easter holidays with our daughters (9 and 11). We were staying in a delux villa with pool and it was lovely. Accommodation was perfect, clean and spacious. We were all sleeping in the same room but it didn’t feel crowded at all. The private pool was indeed very private and great for an afternoon swim out of the direct sun. It was always warm enough to swim in and with direct access to the beach, it was perfect for a family. The main facilities were great and having spent a lot of time at the family pool, I would say it was well set up for families. Food was available at all times and we often ate at the pool bar giving the kids time to play in the pool rather than getting impatient at the table! Food at the main buffet restaurant was ok, not amazing but always something to eat and the guy making children pancakes at breakfast was amazing - my daughter would get very excited thinking of what animal she would pick each morning. The à la cart AI restaurants were worth a visit especially Bamboo and Taste of India - the food was delicious and service was fantastic! We did a few activities such as snorkelling which was good - not the most vibrant reef to explore but plenty of fish for the children to see and it was easy to spot reef and nurse sharks from the main jetty. The spa is definitely worth a visit as well. It’s pricy (as you would expect) but great treatments available and the setting is beautiful. Our butler Azzam was brilliant- checking in on us regularly and making sure he was on hand when needed but also allowing us the space to enjoy our time. Overall, a fantastic family holiday and I have already recommended Iru to friends looking for a beach holiday. Read less

Our stay in the Maldives with my daughter was truly a top-of-the-top experience from beginning to end. The location, as always, was absolutely phenomenal. The island itself is breathtaking, with beautifully designed tropical gardens and one of the most pristine, clean, white-sand beaches we have ever seen. The entire atmosphere felt peaceful, luxurious, and incredibly well cared for. We also loved the food across several restaurants on the island. Our favorites were definitely the Indian restaurant and the Italian restaurant, where we were wonderfully taken care of by an excellent manager named Mateo. The ambience at Islander Grill was also truly special — elegant, relaxed, and unforgettable, especially in the evenings. Another huge advantage was the gym, which was exceptionally well equipped with high-quality machines and, fortunately, very often empty, making workouts there an absolute pleasure. One of the highlights of our stay was definitely the snorkeling experience. Everything was perfectly organized — the boat, the crew, and especially the locations chosen for us. We were able to see incredible nurse sharks, manta rays, stingrays, and sea turtles in their natural environment. Truly 100/100. We also had the opportunity to join a marine biologist experience with Mohamed Shah, which was fascinating and deeply inspiring. His passion, dedication to science, and commitment to protecting coral reefs and marine life were truly impressive. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone interested not only in marine life itself, but also in coral reef conservation and environmental protection. A very special thank you also goes to Faahim, who took fantastic care of us throughout the stay, as well as to our wonderful guest manager Jaweed, whom we had already met during a previous visit. Their warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail made the experience even more memorable. The arrival experience was also seamless and beautifully organized. Right after landing in the Maldives, we were escorted directly to the Sun Siyam lounge, where we were warmly welcomed and taken care of immediately. Within just 45 minutes, the seaplane was ready for departure with us onboard, and the flight to the island itself took around 45 minutes — smooth, scenic, and magical from the very beginning. Overall, this was an absolutely beautiful experience, and we will definitely return again. A truly exceptional place. Read less
