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!

Well we’ve done a fair amount of traveling in our time, but we both agree this has been one of our most pleasurable experiences. Yes, the place may need a little sprucing up here and there but the staff, from Aalam to everyone we encountered are just top notch and for that we are truly grateful!

Hello, dears! Service is the best I have ever seen before - everyday routine was covered by staff and nothing distracts! Sand, sun and vibes are excellent!

Our stay at Sun Siyam Iru Fushi was wonderful! We were very impressed with the high level of service and the attentive staff, who were always ready to help. The selection of alcoholic beverages was particularly delightful. Our butler, Aalam, was incredibly attentive and assisted us with everything we needed, making our stay even more comfortable and enjoyable! Although the experience was amazing, it would have been even better if the beaches were cleaned a bit more frequently to maintain their beauty. We also missed having a larger selection of fresh fruits. Overall, our impression of the hotel remains very positive, and I would happily return again!” Read less

Went there with my wife for our honeymoon and had the most unforgettable experience. The whole service, food and hotel was simply a dream come true. The atmosphere, the landscape and the overall kindness of all the staff is unmatched. We have never been to a hotel with similar service.

It usually takes me 2 or 3 days to wind down on holiday but within 10 mins of landing at Male, I was in that zone. That is when the Sun Siyam team took over, and that was the theme until we said goodbye a week later. The location and natural environment are like nothing else - just stunning.

It usually takes me 2 or 3 days to wind down on holiday but within 10 mins of landing at Male, I was in that zone. That is when the Sun Siyam team took over, and that was the theme until we said goodbye a week later. The location and natural environment are like nothing else - just stunning. We were in a water villa, just a little dated but very comfortable nonetheless. For such a small island, there are plenty of food offers - ironically the ones we have avoided initially because of the type of cuisine, we rated the most - Trio (Italian) and Flavours (French). And one little thing, but the WiFi we found to be very erratic. But back to the customer service, it is like nothing we have experienced. Our butler Fayaz and all the team could not have been more helpful. Every query we had, dealt with immediately. I was thinking of a 4 but that would be a disservice to a stunning island with wonderful people. My slight negatives are minor, I would recommend Iru Fushi to anyone. Read less
