Sun Siyam Olhuveli Maldives is located at the tip of South Male Atoll and easy to reach via a speedboat transfer from Male. This iconic resort is famed for its beautiful beaches and abundant sandbanks, and the laid back and leisurely ambiance provides all the ingredients for an entertaining yet relaxing holiday. Spread out over three islands connected by bridges, there is plenty of space for both couples and families to enjoy a slice of Maldivian paradise.
Sun Siyam Olhuveli offers a range of accommodation options to suit varying budgets and requirements, whether you are travelling as a couple, family or group of friends. Rooms and villas have been crafted for comfort and relaxation, furnished in a style that combines traditional materials with contemporary features. Deluxe Rooms occupy two storey blocks with a terrace or balcony overlooking the beach, while more luxurious options occupy detached villas either on the beach or over the water, some with private plunge pools.
There are a range of dining options at Olhuveli to suit all tastes. Culinary experiences range from grilled seafood and pizzas on the beach to Asian specialities served in a romantic overwater setting. A selection of bars offer spaces to relax with a drink or enjoy the evening entertainment, either by the infinity pool or overlooking the water. Destination dining is also available if you are celebrating a special occasion, with dinner on a secluded sandback a popular option.
Facilities at Olhuveli are extensive. The large lagoon is perfect for water sports, with a range of motorised and non-motorised options available. A dive school allows visitors to explore the underwater world, while manta rays can be viewed from the resort's jetty. Olhuveli offers a full range of excursions for all the family from dolphin safaris to sunset cruises, and we would particularly recommend guided snorkelling trips. After a day of activities, take time to relax and unwind at the spa, where a range of therapies, including Ayurvedic treatments, are available.
Sun Siyam Olhuveli is a laid back resort with something for everyone. One of my favourite experiences whilst on island has to be the snorkelling excursion. Our guides helped us to spot turtles and reef sharks up close before moving on to the beautiful coral garden, home to every tropical fish that you can imagine.
All rooms and villas are located either within the tropical gardens, on the beach or on stilts over the ocean. All have air conditioning and a ceiling fan, safe, minibar, tea and coffee making facilities, Wi-Fi, iron and ironing board and a flat screen TV.
