Sun Siyam Olhuveli

It had everything that you could want or need and was absolutely gorgeous even during wet weather

The villa was beautiful and always well cared for with the most lovely room staff. Every morning I was welcomed with a beautiful message, bamboo leaf art, or towel animals. In the evening there was always a gift, such as Maldivian sweets, fresh aloe Vera, fresh lemon grass tea, and a relaxing diffuser. The resort was beautiful and always well maintained, with good shuttles to get you around the island although most of the time I preferred to walk. The service from greeting at the airport for the transfer was incredible. I was greeted on the jetty by Hasnain, who throughout my stay remembered my name whenever he saw me and checked in if I needed anything. My room host Diyu was phenomenal, from when she greeted me and took me to my room was so helpful and lovely. She made me feel especially welcome which, as I was a solo traveller I really appreciated. She also arranged daily fruit for me so I didn’t have to order every time for my post swimming snacks. I also dived for the first time with Adam who was so encouraging and thorough and made me feel really safe, and I proceeded to do 3 more dives with him. All restaurant staff were very friendly and so happy to help, and the food at all restaurants was delicious. The spa staff were also amazing with welcome drink and tea when you leave. After the massage they also do your hair which is such a beautiful touch. Anny also gave me amazing tips for looking after my hair in the salt and sun. the treatment was relaxing but also really helped ease tension in my back from a very active few weeks. I would highly recommend to anyone.

I didn’t not like anything, but I would love if they had a dedicated Maldivian restaurant. They do have Maldivian roots sections in the buffets but I didn’t go to those apart from breakfast. I also booked full board (not all inclusive). If going again I would probably get breakfast only as I wanted to go to the lovely restaurants (you do get a good discount on most on this meal plan) but I felt like I didn’t use the buffet enough for lunches and dinners. This is more a personal preference however.

Everything was perfect from start to finish. Good location, lots of activities, outstanding service.

Beautiful surroundings and clear water

Difficulty booking into restaurants
