Sun Siyam Iru Veli

If you’re after a quintessential Maldives experience with all the trimmings, then the Sun Siyam Iru Veli resort won’t disappoint. This contemporary, 5-star idyll is located on a private island, and is surrounded by the cerulean waters, a ring of flawless white sand and coconut-clad palm trees. It sits next door to the Vilu Reef resort, with split stays available if you fancy some variety during your tropical getaway. The beauty of the island is that you can do as much or as little as you like – you set the pace. If water sports float your boat, there are plenty of options to choose from, including canoeing, kayaking, diving, fly boarding and scooter snorkelling in the vivid house reef. Over on dry land, you can join a yoga class on the beach, groove in pool parties, practise your table tennis skills, or play a leisurely game of billiards. Meanwhile, the resort’s award-winning spa built over the lagoon will leave you feeling refreshed and renewed. Indulge in a range of lovely treatments that use local natural ingredients to soothe your body and mind – and don’t miss the hydrotherapy facilities, steam room and sauna. Iru Veli serves up a variety of restaurants and bars that cater to every taste and preference. Aqua Orange is an all-day buffet where you can find a wide range of delicious cuisines from around the world. Grouper Grill is perfect for seafood lovers and meat eaters, while Roma hits the spot with mouth-watering Mediterranean flavours. At Chemistry bar, expert baristas and mixologists will rustle up any drink you desire. In addition, Chemistry bar offers unique evening entertainment from cultural traditional shows to Karaoke and movie nights. Don’t want to stay too far from the pool? Fresh Water prepares chilled cocktails, freshly squeezed juices and tasty snacks just steps from your sun lounger and plus weekly management cocktails & canapes or weekly lagoon wine tasting to dip your feet into.
