Maldives – Affordable luxury thanks to Sun Siyam Olhuveli
For many people, a trip to the Maldives remains a dream, but it is not that impossible. The archipelago in the Indian Ocean consists of no fewer than 1,190 coral islands, grouped into 26 atolls. About a hundred of those islands have been transformed into luxury holiday resorts. Sun Siyam is one of the better known players with five holiday resorts. Sun Siyam Olhuveli is guaranteed to make your dreams come true.
Pearly white beaches and a sky blue ocean are the most famous features of the Maldives. This is no different at Sun Siyam Olhuveli. From the capital Malé, where international flights land, it is a 45-minute speedboat journey to this holiday paradise. Sun Siyam Olhuveli consists of three different islands where you can relax extensively.
Affordable luxury. That’s the best way to describe Sun Siyam Olhuveli. The various accommodations have a modern design, but with an eye for the Maldivian tradition. You can choose from beach villas or water villas that can accommodate two to six people. All villas have a flat-screen TV, safe, air conditioning and iron. Naturally, there is also WiFi to stay connected to the outside world. Relax in the sun from your lounger and cool off under the rain shower with accompanying toiletries.
There is no shortage of restaurants at Sun Siyam Olhuveli. Do you opt for à la carte or do you prefer a buffet formula? Everything is possible in the various restaurants spread across the islands. Fish lovers will undoubtedly get their money’s worth during one of the barbecues in the soft sand. You will undoubtedly never forget the taste of Maldivian lobster. Of course there are many other options. Choose one of the numerous pizzas in Island Pizza, get acquainted with Thai cuisine in Siyam Orchid or be tempted by Indian dishes in Namaste.
Choose from one of the three swimming pools at Sun Siyam Olhuveli. Each swimming pool has its own bar. One of the swimming pools is even an adults-only infinity pool with a beautiful view of the Indian Ocean. In the nearby Dhoni Bar you can enjoy a colorful cocktail or fresh beer. The central bar is the Lagoon Bar. It is not only the largest bar, but also the place where you can enjoy entertainment. Live bands, DJs, rock & roll night or traditional Maldivian dance. The Lagoon Bar is the place to be.
You will not easily find a larger playground. Sun Siyam Olhuveli offers various relaxation options. In addition to the various swimming pools, you can also play tennis, badminton, table tennis, football, volleyball, billiards and fitness. Could it be a bit quieter? Have fun on the gigantic outdoor chess board. Water sports are of course also possible. Windsurfing, kayaking, sailing or jet skiing are just some of the options.

There is plenty to do not only on the islands. Book one of the excursions and sail into the Indian Ocean. You can fish during a spectacular sunset, dive to a sunken ship or visit the local inhabitants on a nearby island. With a bit of luck you can spot dolphins during the Lucky Dolphin Sunset Cruise. The most spectacular excursion is undoubtedly 3-Point Snorkeling. You get the unique opportunity to snorkel among harmless sharks and turtles. Then explore a reef where the marine life is indescribable. Not enough yet? The daredevils also have the option to swim among whale sharks.
A holiday at Sun Siyam Olhuveli is not complete without seeing the impressive manta rays. At Manta Point almost every evening several manta rays come to feed on plankton.
