The IM take
Why we'd send you to Sun Siyam Olhuveli
Sun Siyam Olhuveli is one of the most comprehensive resort experiences in the South Malé Atoll — a resort that continues to innovate and expand its offering each year. Spread across three interconnected islands, the property combines the atmosphere of a larger destination with the accessibility of a short speedboat transfer from Velana International Airport. The resort's 'Paradise of Plenty' concept is literal: the Maldives' longest swimming pool (over 100 metres), a dozen food and beverage venues including a sushi bar, teppanyaki grill, and rooftop sunset bar, and an activities programme that includes the Maldives' best kitesurfing school. Excursions are a highlight — regular whale shark trips depart from Olhuveli's own speed dhoni fleet, and manta ray night snorkelling at nearby cleaning stations rank among the most memorable experiences in the archipelago.
