Nestled on a beautiful natural island, Sun Siyam Iru Fushi was the perfect family escape for us—combining barefoot luxury with genuine Maldivian warmth. From spacious beach villas to incredible dining, wellness facilities, and cultural experiences, this resort really had something for everyone.
When we arrived, we were greeted with scented cold towels, traditional bodu beru drumming, and made-to-order welcome drinks—a truly special start to our stay. Our Family Deluxe Beach Villa with Pool felt like home, with an open-air living area, private pool, and a cozy outdoor cabana for relaxing together. The king-size bedroom and luxurious bathroom, complete with a jacuzzi tub, were perfect for unwinding after beach days.
Dining was a real highlight. We loved Italian dishes at Trio and the authentic curries at Taste of India alongside decadent ambiance under the palms created an unforgettable dining experience. Flavours brought French fine dining to the overwater setting, and watching the sunset with cocktails at No Mistake Bar was unforgettable. We highly recommended the family friendly cooking class complete with ocean views and an engaging and memorable afternoon.
Our kids adored the beach and the wide range of kids’ activities, while the snorkeling trips and multiple pools kept everyone entertained. The tranquil spa was a welcome treat for us parents. Nothing can beat waking to the pristine white sand beaches and crystal clear waters, long walks under the palms trees and spending quality time as a family.
Our family loved planting a coconut tree on the island, complete with a personalized plaque bearing our names—a special way to leave our mark and create a lasting memory at Sun Siyam Iru Fushi. It felt wonderful to contribute to the island’s natural beauty and know a part of our family will grow here for years to come.
The best way to get to Sun Siyam Iru Fushi is by flying with Trans Maldivian Airways. From the moment our children spotted the colourful seaplanes, their excitement was contagious. Flying over turquoise lagoons in a DHC-6 Twin Otter, they pressed their noses to the windows, mesmerised by the stunning aerial view. TMA, the world’s largest seaplane operator with a fleet of 65 aircraft, made every step seamless, from smooth resort transfers to helpful, family-friendly staff. The convenience of doorstep resort drop-offs and perfectly timed connections meant no stress for us, just joy. More than transport, TMA made the journey a magical family memory.
Sun Siyam Iru Fushi truly offers a magical blend of luxury, adventure, and island culture that families like ours will cherish forever.
