The hotel

Spread across two stunning islands in South Male Atoll, with gorgeous white beaches and sea views as far as the eye can see, this resort is a Maldivian paradise. Guests can enjoy crystal clear infinity pools, a range of delicious dining options, and water sports in the lagoon. Take relaxation to the next level, by indulging in a spa treatment at one of the two spas including the Ocean Spa which features 8 over-water pavilions, before watching the sunset with a cocktail in hand.

It's 5 months since our stay at the Sun Siyam Olhuveli resort and to be honest we very rarely post a review. However, the memories that the 4 of us share of our time exploring the three islands that make up the resort are so special that after nearly half a year we wanted to post a thank you to all the team who make this such a beautiful place to be. We loved exploring the house reef, chilling out on different beaches and getting to know some of the great staff. Our favourite place to chill was the Dhoni bar - Hoodh and Sang deserve a special mention, they were so attentive and fun to be around, it was a pleasure to get to know them a little! The team in the restaurant were fab - especially the young man who looked after the fruit (MD Rana). Sujan kept our water villas clean, tidy and well stocked. The Sun Siyam Olhuveli provided an amazing family holiday, memories of which will stay with us forever! Thank you! Read less

My wife and I decided to spend 8 nights in the beautiful resort Sun Siyam Olhuveli. In the first 4 days we stayed in the beach villa with private sunbeds. Unforgettable experience because you feel immersed in nature thanks to the Maldivian outdoor bath. Very spacious and clean room. Staff always smiling and kind, who took care of the cleaning of our villa. The last 4 days we spent in the deluxe water villa. Wonderful room with two bathrooms, entrance hall, lounge and very spacious and comfortable bed. The resort is huge and full of comfort and the staff is always very attentive to the needs of customers. Olhuveli offers many activities including snorkeling, which my wife and I did and loved, disco, concerts, 2 spas, lots of water sports and various more restaurants at the buffet, thanks to adbulah , suraj , rawat to take care of us every morning We had dinner at Thai restaurant and Indian restaurant Namaste. The cook nasir of Namaste is very kind and above service from Akash, khaled , sang beyond the exception . We ate the softest chicken of our lives and tried excellent flavor mixes. Sun Siyam Olhuveli is a magical place I would recommend to anyone. Read less
