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.

30th Ann We honeymooned in the Maldives (Angaga) 30 years ago & wanted to come back to the Maldives to celebrate our anniversary . Sun Siyam Olhuveli is a beautiful resort & we have thoroughly enjoyed our 7 night stay here. We had a deluxe water villa which was amazing …. Seeing stingrays, baby sharks and a plethora of fish from our balcony daily made our days. Being able to step straight into the beautiful ocean from our villa was magical. The staff are all friendly, hardworking and always smiling. Special mention to Akash who made our stay even better. He excels at managing Namaste, Siyam Orchid & Dhoni Bar. Also thanks to Khaled and Doss who were great and very chatty always. We enjoyed snorkelling around the dive centre and our villa - managed to see turtles, stingrays and sharks. The snorkelling safari was amazing - thanks to Chara & also jet skiing with Cloud. Thanks also to Eku who kept our villa spotless twice daily. All the staff are happy & friendly & the island is definitely worth a visit! Read less
