Offering the kind of laidback luxury that families seek when they come to the Maldives, Siyam World is the largest resort in the country. One of the reasons it is so special is its ability to strike the perfect balance of being a remote tropical island paradise and offering a vast array of facilities and villas you won’t find anywhere else in the region.
It’s these facilities that keep families coming back year after year, including an electric go-karting track, a horse riding stables, and the Maldives’ biggest floating water park within the resort’s sunrise lagoon, complete with inflatable obstacles to tackle. There is also Padel tennis, a football pitch, and fun classes for both parents and children, such as yoga and Zumbini (which is a mix of dance, learning, and exercise). The kids’ club here, Kidz World, is also out of this world, with an amazing daily programme of activities to keep children aged 4-12 years old entertained.
While the little ones are off having fun and making new friends, the resort has several adults-only spaces to which you can sneak off to, including a beautiful infinity pool and a sports bar with drinks and snacks around the clock. If you want to relax even further, you can treat yourself to a luscious spa treatment or a Pilates or yoga class – the latter sometimes with an Ayurvedic doctor, including sunset sessions on the beach.
Meanwhile, the villas vary in size, including some with four bedrooms that can sleep up to 12 people, making Siyam World a great choice for multigenerational holidays with grandparents or for getaways with other families. All of the 469 villas here come with a private pool and a daily replenished mini-bar, and all overwater options even have a waterslide into the lagoon. The 23 villas in The Residences come with additional benefits, such as all day in-villa breakfasts, complimentary late checkout, and Lunch and Dinner at Arigato restaurant.
When it comes to family-friendly dining, there are plenty of options to suit all tastes. Of the 12 restaurants at the resort, make sure you grab a table at Teppanyaki to see your meal prepared in the most exciting way, indulge in global flavours at Tempo's buffet, and savour authentic Spanish cuisine at Andalucia. Don’t miss a tasty snack from the Gaadiyaa local food cart that pops up around the island and The Wahoo Grill lets you try Maldivian specialities with a contemporary twist and holds grand weekly beach barbecues.
Other highlights during your stay could include snorkelling safaris and a whole wealth of water sports, while the entertainment is quite simply out of his world: expect fire dancers, aerial silk acrobats, glow parties, belly dancing show, and so much more.
