The resort itself is breathtaking, with stunning views, beautiful facilities, and a truly relaxing atmosphere that made our holiday unforgettable.

Our stay at Sun Siyam Olhuveli was an absolute dream from the moment we arrived. All of the staff were absolutely fantastic but I’d have to mention a few in particular who made our stay so wonderful. Rama was our host who we met after the most incredible arrival. Greeted by staff by the dive centre coming off of the speedboat, we were given beautiful palm leaf necklaces and told “welcome home”. With a host of staff clapping our arrival, a Maldivian drummer drumming the way down the jetty and a staff member blowing a conch as we got to reception. Rama gave us all of the info we needed about the islands and his WhatsApp number to help us with everything to make our stay perfect. We contacted him daily and nothing was too much of an ask. The restaurant staff were also incredible. We met Kumar on our first night who invited us to a beach bbq on night 4 that I’d highly recommend. He was very accommodating at organising some special surprises, such as a birthday message on the table, a cake, and a team of staff that sang and danced with our sons on my eldest’s 6th birthday to a local Olhuveli Maldivian song, that will stay firmly in my memory forever. The kids club team managed by Rauana were also wonderful. Lipa was an absolute delight in making our son’s trips extra special. We’ve never taken them to a kids club before, and wanted to make sure we prioritised family time, but the boys both begged to go to kids club on multiple occasions which meant my husband and I were able to do an excursion and have a meal on romance the adult only island. The best restaurant by a clear mile is the Cullinairium on Romance Island. Amazing fine dining, with sharks swimming beside you. Would highly recommend booking here, the staff were wonderful. We enjoyed all of the restaurants, but also have to mention Milano. We were fortunate enough to see Rohit who remembered us from our previous stay almost 7 years ago! He was so lovely to us, and it was great to see him again. We booked a drone photography session whilst we were staying, to capture some amazing family moments. Shaan was incredible despite the fact the kids weren’t really playing ball, but he was very patient and got some incredible shots. Aathi, Lisi and the Watersports team also need a huge shout out. She was so accommodating at arrange jet skiing for our son’s birthday, as well as the dolphin sunset cruise, and the 3 point snorkelling excursion for us. I’d highly recommend this to anyone visiting the resort, we swam with huge rays, sharks, turtles, and a coral reef scene fresh out of finding nemo! Just incredible. I’ll remember it forever. Some other major highlights: * Incredible evening entertainers, especially the live musicians and Saxophonist (he was AMAZING). * Manta ray point at the end of the jetty - the light by Lagoon bar lights up when they’re present to save you a lengthy wait. They’re enormous and just so angelic. A major WOW. * Grand beach villa - despite the fact that the main island is the oldest in terms of refurbishment of room types, we were thrilled with our accommodation. Opening our curtains and sliding doors at the end of the bed to our little boys running straight out onto the sand and into the calm ocean, spotting rays, sharks, fish, and turtles. Just stunning. * Instagrammers paradise - there’s a magazine you can become a part of, beautiful mirrors, swings in the sea, resort signage, just every where you look is a photo opportunity! * Wildlife - along with all the marine life I’ve mentioned, there were lizards and fruit bats galore that we loved watching * Bed decor - we were returning guests but the welcome home sign, personal notes and gifts on our son’s birthday were so thoughtful and meaningful. * Buses - there are buses that operate constantly all around the main island and dream island - you can track them on screens in bus stops, or on your hotel tv to see when they are nearby to avoid waiting. They’re very frequent. And if you need transportation beyond dream island to romance island, the staff are more than happy to send buggies. * Drinks - not a single watered down drink in site. I challenge anyone to think of a cocktail the team can’t make! * Food - we were on the PAI dine around package and were extremely happy with the choices on offer. The buffets were extensive with live cooking stations, and plenty of choice. Each island has a number of ala carte restaurants too that were fab. Main island has island pizza for lunch options that were lovely. And Namaste (Indian) and Siyam Orchid (Thai) under refurbishment and relocated to Dream island. Both cuisines were delicious! Milano is Italian and grills, very nice. Crust and Flame offered burgers, nachos, grills etc on dream island, that was a lovely lunch. Cullinarium as mentioned on romance island was our favourite - fine dining with excellent views. We did the barefoot bbq at Magrhib Grill which did have an additional charge but the food was out of this world, as was the setting and the live music. There was also a few other dining options on romance island but as we had the children we were unable to try them all. * Dolphin cruise & 3 point snorkelling - just do it! Out of this world experiences!! * The goodbye - even with a 5am departure the staff couldn’t do enough. They collected our cases, opened the buffet restaurant for breakfast early for guests leaving, walked us down the jetty, and waved us goodbye as we departed on the speedboat, with tears rolling down my cheeks, already planning our next visit back. There really is too much to mention. Those were just our highlights. But honestly, we couldn’t recommend Olhuveli more. We hope to see you again in 2027!

I’m struggling to put the experience into words. From the moment we landed, everything felt like a dream — but what made it truly unforgettable was the people, the nature, and the little details. Let me start with our personal butler, Kosta. He was nothing short of amazing. Always a step ahead — arranging dinners, booking trips, transferring to restaurants before we even asked. Kosta was kind, warm, and genuinely cared that we had the best time. Thank you, Kosta — you made the holiday feel personal and effortless. The entire staff deserves equal praise. From the housekeeping team who decorated our bed with different sculptures made of towels, to the restaurant managers who remembered our coffee order and allergies from day one — every single person smiled, greeted us by name, and made us feel like family. And the food — just incredible. Fresh tuna, Maldivian curries, tropical fruits, pasta, and the most amazing desserts. Every meal was a celebration. Now, the nature is beyond anything photos can capture. The water is that impossible shade of turquoise, the sand is like powdered sugar, and the sunsets turn the sky into watercolours every single night. The atmosphere was pure serenity. No noise, no rush — just the sound of waves and palm trees in the wind. Perfect for couples, and families. We disconnected completely and left feeling renewed. If you’re hesitating — just go. And if you’re lucky enough to get a butler like Kosta, you’ll leave with a full heart and a promise to return.
