We have just returned from a wonderful holiday at Sun Siyam Iru Veli, We stayed there for 10 days for a special birthday and the resort is spectacular. Unfortunately, due to the terrible events in Sri Lanka our weather wasn't great ... HOWEVER the staff made it for us - such professionalism and excellent service across the board of the highest standard. From our great ambassador Nafaul, to excellent service from Nita both in the brilliant buffet restaurant and at Roma; plus Limon, our great waiter at the pool and many many more ... so many amazing touches to make our stay so memorable. Thank you to all at Sun Siyam Iru Veli for our wonderful stay. Read less

Our visit to Sun Siyam Iru Veli was between 1-10 November 2025. The overall impression was magical; the words Epic and Magic have never been more relevant. Mainly it was about beauty, it was like being in a live picture. The temperature was comfortably 28˚C and the warmth and kindness from all the staff were equally like a warm hug. Our Ocean Villa (#623) was located facing west at the very end of the long pier. The outdoor space was kind of simple, but we really loved the plunge pool. One of the biggest fails were there was no way of shadow in the afternoon. Therefor we spent that time of day at the Fresh Water infinitypool. To my disappointment the bathing ladder down from the balcony to the ocean was too tough for me. It was long and steep, and the bottom step was so close to the water level it was very hard to reach with a foot, being in the water, which meant you had to be kind of acrobatic and strong to make it up again. We loved the comfortable bed and spacious, airy bathroom. But I would have preferred a magnifying mirror and storage under the sink. The water court with glass doors behind the shower and WC was amazing, to be able to study the turquoise water from there was lovely. Chemistry, Aqua Orange and Roma restaurants had very much to offer and especially kind and thoughtful staff. We loved the snorkelling excursion and the Lucky Dolphin Sunset Cruise, but would have liked to be prepared on the fact there were just 50% chance to meet the dolphins. Our personal guide did inform me in advance, but for months I have been thinking the chance was much better. With the champagne offered on the way back we came over the disappointment of the secrete dolphins and decided we now have that point left on our bucket list. 😉 Nazish was our guide, and he made all the difference in the world. He was kind and fun and full of information. In addition, very quick to answer questions on Whatsapp. He really went above and beyond for everything we wanted. I also loved the spa, especially the treatment by miss Lakshani. Her attitude and skill were so delightful, it made me book another treatment with her later in the week. Read less
