Escape to a world where turquoise waters meet sapphire skies and where luxury knows no bounds. If you’re looking for your next out-of-this-world family escape, Sun Siyam Iru Fushi and Sun Siyam Olhuveli, both nestled in the heart of the Maldives, invite you to experience an unparalleled slice of paradise. These two jewels of the Sun Siyam Group are more than just resorts; they are the place where you and your loved ones can enjoy time together in the most stunning surroundings.
Swim with the local wildlife
The Maldives is famous for its diving and there are some very special sites in the waters at Olhuveli, including the Kuda Giri shipwreck where glassfish swirl around the captain’s hut and machine room, and Kandooma Thila where you can catch glimpses of white tip and grey reef sharks, green turtles, and eagle rays. But you don’t need to be a diver or seasoned snorkeller to see rays at Olhuveli; you can watch groups of mantas feasting on their plankton dinner every night from the jetty.
A plethora of family watersports
Among the vast array of activities that make Olhuveli an amazing choice for families travelling with older kids are kite surfing, catamaran sailing, and windsurfing. Under-15s are considered children here (at most resorts it’s those aged 12 and under), and kids stay free of charge in the same room with two paying adults and eat free of charge on the same meal plan their as parents. You can enjoy the same benefits at Sun Siyam Iru Fushi, too. You can even book a second room for older kids at a 50% discount (Sun Siyam Olhuveli only), to give them a feeling of independence during your stay.
Dine in style as a family
At Iru Fushi, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to dining thanks to an incredible 15 restaurants and bars. The main buffet restaurant Iru even has a family area, a kids’ dinner buffet, and a play area, as well as a beach terrace. Younger guests also love La Cremeria ice cream parlour, the Fluid family pool bar, and the fun Japanese iron-griddle restaurant Teppanyaki.
Luxury facilities for the whole family
Iru Fushi is great for both couples and families, as there’s a separate adults-only infinity pool and a family-friendly pool with a paddling section close to the family villas and the kids’ club. When you fancy some ‘me time’ while the children are making new friends, head to the award-winning Spa by Thalgo which offers more than 160 treatments plus a full wellness programme.
