About this accommodation
Sun Siyam Olhuveli sits across three connected islands in South Male Atoll, reached by a 45-minute speedboat transfer from Velana International Airport (USD 250 per adult return, with children aged 2 to 14 travelling complimentary, up to two per booking). The three-island layout spans Dream, Main and Romance islands, giving the resort a scale of 328 rooms and villas while still creating distinct atmospheres within one property. Accommodation ranges from garden and beach villas to overwater water villas with private pools, and in March 2025 the resort unveiled refurbished Beach and Sunset Beach Pavilions alongside a 210-metre pool. The 13 bars and restaurants spread across the islands cover Thai, Indian, Italian, Japanese and Maldivian cuisine, giving genuine variety for longer stays. Meal plans run from Bed & Breakfast through Premium All Inclusive, which helps agents match the resort to a range of budgets. A 5-star PADI dive centre, a water sports hub, and an on-site spa round out the offering, while the accessible house reef makes it easy to snorkel straight from the beach or villa. With a 4.7 rating from close to 5,000 reviews, Sun Siyam Olhuveli suits families, multi-generational groups and couples looking for flexibility and a broad activity programme close to Male.

Getting There
Beach Pavilion
BeachThe taupe, black, and grey palette lends tranquility to the interiors. The room, although on the cozier size, is cleverly designed and thoughtfully set as a non-smoking space. Terrace or balcony, daybed, couch… It’s all there. Yet you don’t feel cramped. The gorgeous black and white photography on the walls adds to the serene vibe. The pavilions' rooms can be interconnected with rooms with Twin or King-size beds. The Maldives' longest swimming pool at 210 meters with its sunken bar is located right outside the Beach Pavilion room category. A versatile pavilion with all the comforts.
Sunset Beach Pavilion
BeachA 50 sqm beachfront pavilion on Olhuveli's western shore, angled west so the terrace or balcony catches the evening sun as it sets over the lagoon. A king or twin bedroom opens to a daybed and couch in a calm taupe, black and grey palette, with the sand a few steps away and the resort's 210-metre pool close at hand. Sleeps up to three.
Grand Beach Villa
BeachThis is your classic Maldives beach villa. There’s the proximity to the lagoon and the unobstructed views. The semi-open bathroom with a tropical outdoor shower (there’s one inside too). The King-size bed facing the sea. The terrace that turns into the sandy beach. The chaises-lounges to soak up the sun. It’s all there.
Grand Beach Suite with Pool
PoolBeach101 square metres of sleek, sophisticated beachside living. The Grand Beach ticks all the boxes: lots of space. A living room. A verandah facing the sea. A white-washed tropical bathroom.

Grand Water Villa with Pool
OverwaterPoolSimilar in design to the Grand Water Villa, this one comes with its own gorgeous private infinity pool. The shaded terrace and sundeck come with quite the views.

Open for dinner, the grill faces the serene sea, and under a starry sky, you can savor grilled-to-perfection steaks and fresh-from-the-sea bounty in a magical yet relaxed setting.
Milano
Milano captures the easy generosity of Italian dining through an open-kitchen experience where handmade pasta and wood-fired flavours take centre stage. Italian coastal charm meets elegant island mood through olive-green tones, arched walls, textured finishes, and sculpted timber details. As day turns to evening, warm lighting sets an intimate tone for relaxed gatherings and romantic dinners by the sea.
Malaafaiy
Centrally located for guests staying on Dream Island, Malaafaiy is the island’s main restaurant open from morning till night. In Dhivehi, ‘Malaafaiy’ means “delicious” or “tasty”. You will often hear locals say “Malaafaiy” to express how much they enjoy a dish. Enjoy a variety of cuisines served buffet-style with live cooking and themed nights. There’s something for every palate.
Namaste
Namaste’s open kitchen allows you to get a sneak peek of the chef’s cooking up a feast. Think freshly-baked naan flatbreads, curries bursting with aromatic spices, platters for sharing family-style… This is Indian cuisine with flair. Take a seat under one of the private cabanas facing the beach. A date night for the books.
Siyam Orchid
The interior design and vibe is sleek and moody - the perfect ambiance to indulge in a fusion of Thai cuisine with a hint of Maldivian. While Siyam Orchid is an evening restaurant with a great wine list too, it also serves as an exclusive breakfast venue for select guests.
