Maldives, Indian Ocean

Virgin rating

The hotel

Famous for the continuous white sand beach surrounding the entire island, Sun Siyam Iru Fushi is an idyllic setting for romantic and family trips alike. The 52 acre island allows for space and seclusion when you want it, but there are plenty of bars and restaurants with a great atmosphere and live music, when you’re ready for an upbeat evening. Whichever room type you opt for, you won’t be disappointed. Sunset Horizon Water Villas are great for couples getaways – savour that Maldivan sunset each day from your private outdoor jacuzzi with a sundowner in hand, these are some of the most coveted accommodations on the island. If there’s a group of you, you might want to opt for a Pool Beach Villa, with ample space for outdoor drinks on the beachfront terrace and a dip in the private pool. And not forgetting, all villas come with a multilingual butler service! If you’re feeling active then there’s plenty to keep you on your feet, from water sports to tennis, or for a more relaxing activity then visit the award-winning Spa by Thalgo which offers over 160 treatments, the kids will be well looked after in the kids’ club whilst you get some much needed “me time”. And it’s hard to know where to start when it comes to dining, with a choice of 15 bars and restaurants from casual snacks by the pool to teppanyaki at your table, overwater champagne bar to beachfront fine dining, they have it all. You may even just fancy a pizza in the comfort of your villa, no requests is too big!

My wife and I had an amazing time! Our butler, Ali, was incredibly friendly and helpful too. We also loved all the food. One of the chefs, Enayet, was on the rice-noodle station at the buffet and made the best Pad Thai! He was also really friendly. All in all, the resort was such an amazing trip and we'll definitely be going back someday.

Wonderful holidays in an amazing resort animated by nice and kind staff, particularly our butler Nasif, and the kids club animators Monica and Leah. The diversity of the foods and the rest is a very good thing. Sunsiam should manage directly the seaplane trips to reduce its costs.

The resort is clean, easy to navigate around, has kids club from 0800-2100 which is helpful when they’re jet lagged. The rooms are spacious and the private pool and outdoor space is ideal when you want to relax in privacy. All members of staff are extremely helpful and attentive. Our 11 month old was a handful at meal times and on several occasions, staff offered to hold him so we could eat. Aalam was our butler and he went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was comfortable and memorable. This was ideal for families with young children. Restaurants open at 6.30pm but our kids eat at 5 so we fed them at Fluid and waters edge bar. It’s really safe and we felt comfortable with our 6 and 3 yr old running off during breakfast / meal times at the buffet to get what they liked. Staff speak excellent English ( I think some even spoke Russian) which made communication really easy. We enjoyed walking back to the room but if the kids ever got tired it was really easy to get a buggy. We had the All inc package and never once felt that we couldn’t find something that we enjoyed. I must say, by the end of the trip, I was starting to crave something a bit different, however, we didn’t book any of the non inclusive restaurants. Read less

This was our first time in Maldives and choosing Sun Siyam Iru Fushi made our trip an unforgettable one. We stayed 11 nights and since day one, we were amazed by the amazing customer service and friendliness of the staff. Every day they greeted us with a smile (in the morning, afternoon, and evening) and asked how our day was going. The excursions are amazing! We enjoyed it a lot! We did some snorkeling and saw lots of fish, sea turtles, sting rays, marble rays, etc. The food is BOMB. There are various cuisines that you can try and all of them are very good. My personal favorite restaurant is Bamboo. The spa is THE BEST. I went back 3 times because their services are just that good and there are so many options. The environment is very very relaxing. Special shoutouts to: - Naveen, our butler, who is always there for us, answering our questions and assisting us all the time. We're very glad and thankful for him as he made our stay very smooth. Sometimes we don't need to let him know what we need or want to book. He just does it. It's like he can read our minds on what we want and we're amazed by it. He really cared about us and ensured that we were having a blast (which we were). - Naresh and Suchi made our stay fun and memorable. We always look forward to go to Bamboo not only because of food, but also because of them. The small talks, laughs and jokes that we shared while dining in Bamboo are one of our highlights. - Anna and Edwin (from the Spa) made sure that we were being taken care of. Whenever we went to the spa, both of them were present and ensured that we enjoyed our treatment. Read less
