Sun Siyam Iru Veli: Laid-Back Luxury for Families and Couples

With four restaurants and three bars, dining is a sensory journey where fresh, locally sourced seafood takes centre stage. The culinary experience is complemented by an array of thoughtful extras that elevate any stay – from floating breakfasts and beach BBQs to wine tastings and sunset fishing trips with local fishermen.

Sun Siyam Vilu Reef: Intimate and Idyllic
Charming and compact, Sun Siyam Vilu Reef is a sanctuary of peace, ideally suited to couples seeking intimacy and romance. With just a short stroll end to end, the resort creates an atmosphere of privacy and seclusion. While its size may lend itself more to couples, some villas do cater to small families or groups, with accommodation options for up to six guests.
All villas – from beachfront havens to stilted overwater retreats – feature outdoor showers for an added touch of island living. The all-inclusive experience here is a highlight, offering access to five restaurants and two bars, with gourmet dining and curated wine tastings on offer. Perhaps its most striking asset is the very vibrant house reef, just steps from the shore, renowned for its snorkelling opportunities.
