This place is heaven on earth. We knew it would be lovely but honestly it exceeded our expectations. The flight in from Malle on a sea plane was fabulous and well worth the additional cost and we were met with such a warm welcome it was all a bit overwhelming! Our ambassador for the stay Rilwan was great! Friendly and extremely helpful, he made our stay frictionless and very special. He was assisted by Jiajia, a new recruit to the company and they helped with booking excursions and restaurants and were a source of lots of useful information about the resort and the Maldives. We found the place totally relaxing which was the point of going there. It’s not an action packed holiday but there is plenty to do if you are into swimming in the beautiful sea, strolling on the white sand, snorkelling on the coral reef, eating lovely food and sipping delicious cocktails! Thanks also to all the amazing staff who make everything so wonderful in the restaurants and bars. Special thanks to Sohel who looked after our villa so beautifully and Muna in the Aqua Orange who served us with a smile everyday. We can’t wait to go back! Read less

Our stay at Sun Siyam Iru Veli was truly unforgettable, and every moment felt special from the beginning to the end. Our butler Naazish was always kind, attentive, and incredibly quick to respond whenever we needed help. When I suffered from sunburn, she immediately arranged fresh aloe for my skin, which helped me so much. She always greeted us warmly whenever we passed by, and thanks to her care, I never once felt anxious or uncomfortable even though we were far from home. I am sincerely grateful from the bottom of my heart. Dining at the resort was also a wonderful experience. Every meal was delicious, and being able to enjoy food while looking out at the beautiful ocean made it even more special. There was a wide variety of dishes, so even though I am usually quite picky with food, I could always find something I liked. Choosing what to eat each day was actually very fun. We were also very lucky with our activities. During the dolphin cruise, we were able to see wild dolphins, which made us extremely happy because we heard they had not been seen for several days before. All of our activities were arranged smoothly, and thanks to the thoughtful planning, we were able to experience the beauty of the island very deeply. The overall service at the resort was excellent. Every staff member had such a warm and pleasant attitude, and many times they came to ask if we needed help before we even asked. The room was cleaned very carefully and often, and the cute bed decorations made us smile every time. We felt completely relaxed and comfortable throughout our stay. Honestly, every moment here became a precious memory for us. The peaceful atmosphere, the kindness of the staff, and the beauty of the ocean made this trip truly meaningful. I would absolutely recommend Sun Siyam Iru Veli to anyone, not only for honeymoons but also for anniversaries or any special occasion. It is not a small expense, but it is worth it, and I would love to save money and come back again in the future. One day, I hope to bring my parents here to thank them. My English is not very good, so I could not speak much this time, but before I return, I will study hard and come back again for sure. Read less

A Slice of Paradise – 8 Nights of Pure Luxury at Sun Siyam Iru Veli We have just returned from an incredible 8-night stay at Sun Siyam Iru Veli, and it truly was perfection from start to finish. From the moment we stepped off the seaplane to the moment we reluctantly departed, every detail was flawless. The island itself is breathtaking — crystal-clear turquoise waters and sand so white it almost dazzles in the sunlight. We stayed in a Sunset Beach Villa with a private pool, and it was simply stunning. Waking each morning to the sound of the sea, with the beach just steps away, felt like a dream. Housekeeping was immaculate throughout our stay, and the creative towel arrangements left on the bed each day were always a lovely surprise. As food lovers, we were completely blown away. The Premium All-Inclusive plan is one of the best we’ve ever experienced. Meals at Aqua Orange were consistently fresh and varied, but the specialty restaurants were the real highlight. Grouper Grill & Roma Restaurants served some of the finest fresh seafood we’ve ever tasted, and the wine selection across the resort was impressively extensive. Equally outstanding was the service. This resort clearly places enormous importance on hospitality, and it shows. Our dedicated island host made everything effortless — from arranging spa treatments to organizing our sunset dolphin cruise (we didn’t spot any dolphins, but the experience was still magical!). Every staff member greeted us with warm smiles and went above and beyond to make us feel like VIP guests. Eight nights felt like the perfect amount of time to truly unwind. Our days were spent between the spa, evening cocktails at the lively Chemistry Bar, and exploring the vibrant marine life just off the beach. If you’re looking for a luxury escape that feels intimate, personal, and genuinely high-end, this is the place. We left with heavy hearts but memories that will last a lifetime — and we already can’t wait to return. Actually, on reflection… eight nights wasn’t enough. We just wanted more and more. I suppose that’s the only downside. Read less
