Sun Siyam Iru Fushi is a stunning hideaway which is discreetly tucked within the unspoilt Noonu Atoll, occupying a spacious island with 52 acres of powdery white beach and abundant tropical vegetation. The luxurious island resort is ninety-one miles from Male International Airport and is accessed by a scenic 45 minute seaplane ride - a dedicated seaplane lounge at Male airport allows guests to relax or freshen up before the onward journey. Sun Siyam Iru Fushi was named 'Indian Ocean's Leading Family Resort' and 'Maldives' Leading Resort' at the 2017 World Travel Awards.
Accommodation is in villas which are located on the beach or over the lagoon, all with stylish furnishings and amenities such as air conditioning, ceiling fans, satellite TV, Bose sound systems and fully stocked mini bars. The Beach Villas all benefit from open-air bathrooms in a private courtyard as well as a spacious sundeck leading out onto the beach. Many also boast a private swimming pool and beachfront gazebo as well as indoor daybeds. The Family Deluxe Beach Villas are perfect for adults and children travelling together, as sliding doors separate the living area from the bedroom to offer additional privacy. The Water Villas are accessed by a footbridge connecting them to the main island and offer the epitome of island living as they are extremely private with an open plan layout and a sundeck with a Jacuzzi. The bedroom, living room and bathroom all lead onto the vast deck area and offer unparalleled views of the lagoon.
Making the most of the local fresh fish and seafood, the chefs at Iru Fushi conjure up succulent and tempting cuisine from around the world, whether it's a romantic six-course dinner under the stars or a leisurely al fresco lunch on the beach. There are 15 bars and restaurants to choose from, ranging from the fine dining Taste of India to the casual Islander's Grill, promising something to suit all tastes. Guests can stay on a bed and breakfast, half board, full board or all-inclusive basis.
Thanks to the size of the island, Sun Siyam Iru Fushi is ideal for couples or families as it offers a superb children's club along with serene spaces for adults including a dedicated swimming pool. Children under the age of 15 years old stay and eat free of charge when sharing with two adults, promising superb value.
Facilities include a PADI five-star dive centre, a water sports centre, a gym, tennis courts, badminton courts and mini golf. Guests can discover the house reef, while a vast range of excursions are also available including snorkelling safaris, dolphin sunset cruises and big game fishing. The resort also encourages guests to learn more about Maldivian culture, offering the opportunity to spend the day with local fishermen or visit schools on nearby islands.
Those in search of relaxation can visit The Spa by Thalgo, an award-winning facility with 20 treatment rooms which are set within the lush vegetation of the island. In keeping with the island’s relaxed ambiance, the spa uses traditional methods to relax and rejuvenate using the Five Elements and traditional Ayurveda.

The Golden Palm PADI diving school trainers were just fantastic. I'm no stranger to a deep sea dive, but they catered well to both advanced and beginner divers, and were so friendly the entire time.
