Sun Siyam Iru Fushi

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!

Although this is a lovely resort (we have been twice in two years) - please be aware that there are dengue and chikungunya mosquitoes at the resort. We recently came back from a great 9 day stay in December 2024. 6 days after arriving back in the UK I became very ill (hospitalised for 2 days). Blood work revealed I caught dengue fever and chikungunya. Horrible experience and was very ill for about 10 days. Not completely recovered yet (blood work still not back in normal range for things) and it has been over a month. In 2023 when we visited there was spraying on the island and we did not see any mosquitoes. This time round we did not see any evidence of spraying and there were so many mosquitoes. We applied insect repellent twice daily and were very carful but still were bitten. It's a tropical island so there are always risks and I guess I was unlucky, however, be careful as dengue is a horrible illness. We feel lucky that the illness didn't manifest until we were back in the UK (so I must have been bitten by the rogue mosquito on our last or second last day). It incubates for 4-10 days and also that it was me and not one the children. Following confirmation of dengue I saw online that the Noonu Atoll (where Sun Siyam is located) has many reported cases of Dengue. I am posting as I would have appreciated knowing from previous guests if they had caught something like this at the resort. It would have definitely impacted on my decision making for where I would go in the Maldives with my family. Read less

Despite the changeable weather such a beautiful resort and the fact we had a villa on the water meant you could just relax with beautiful views. From the outset it was quality- the seaplane connection was seamless and the lounge was of a high standard. From the time you were met off the seaplane the staff made every effort to make your stay special. Every member of staff was friendly never failing to greet you as they passed. Special mention for Nasif who was allocated to look after us. Given my mobility problems he even arranged a villa closer to the centre. He was always on call to sort out dinner reservations and come and collect us in the buggy. The food in all the restaurants was excellent and varied and better quality than other all inclusives we have stayed at All in all a beautiful experience. Read less
