Nestled in the Noonu Atoll, Sun Siyam Iru Fushi is more than a resort – it’s an experience waiting to be discovered.
From underwater excursions, gourmet dining, and an award-winning spa, the island destination of Sun Siyam Iru Fushi offers travellers an unforgettable blend of elegance and excitement, perfect for a family getaway or couples retreat.
As your seaplane takes off from the newly refurbished terminal at Malé International Airport, you’ll begin a journey like no other. With a flight time of approximately 45 minutes, the island of Iru Fushi, 320 kilometres north of Malé, promises a luxurious escape that starts before you even board the plane.
Gone are the days of outdated lounges and humid waiting rooms in Maldives. The new seaplane terminal, along with Sun Siyam’s exclusive lounge, offers a refreshing start to your vacation. With ample seating, refreshments, and amenities like a kids’ area and mini-spa, if you do have to wait for your seaplane then it’s the best place to be.
When it comes to rooms, Siyam Iru Fushi has two options for your stay: beach and water villas. The Beach Villas have private pools surrounded by island greenery and coconut palms, each with access to the pristine white sands of the island.
Those seeking those Insta-worthy moments may want to opt for the Water Villas. Each villa has a large bed that looks out onto the sea. With a large terrace area, pool or jacuzzi (depending on which you opt for), and bathroom with a bathtub that opens out to the sea.
The island itself is relatively big, but still small enough to explore by foot. We often choose to walk around the island, however, for those who wish to rest their feet, convenient buggies are ready to whisk you around. You can call for a ride from one of the dedicated island buggy stops, situated across the resort.
With an impressive 14 restaurants and bars, dining at Siyam Iru Fushi is a feast for the senses. From Vietnamese and French to Japanese, Italian, and Indian, the choices are as varied as they are exquisite. And no matter where you choose to dine, a breathtaking view is always on the menu.
The resort’s spa takes wellness to a whole new level. With a holistic approach embracing the five natural elements and traditional Ayurvedic practices, this labyrinth of gardens, carp-filled lily ponds, and pebble walkways offer a sanctuary for the soul.
The two-storey Celebrity Retreat provides exclusive luxury with its own spa, private access to the beach, and a 24/7 butler. The neutral décor and Maldivian-inspired touches ensure relaxation in style. The master bedroom has its own private pool and the outdoor bathroom features a large bathtub.
Exploration is a must in Maldives, and Sun Siyam Iru Fushi make it easy to discover the underwater world. There’s plenty of sea life around the island and it’s easy to spot sharks and fish. When it comes to excursions, a 30-minute boat ride takes you to an untapped reef where you can swim and discover the underwater world with a guide.
Sun Siyam Iru Fushi offers all-inclusive packages to make the most out of your stay and it’s well worth considering. A trip to Maldives can be an expensive choice, but with so many options and things to do for families – Sun Siyam Iru Fushi makes it a realistic paradise to be discovered.
