Sun & Sea Hotel

A super lovely small hotel with a very special cozy and personal atmosphere. One feels truly welcome from the moment you step through the door. Lovely service, delightful surroundings, and lots of charm. We had a really nice stay. Strong recommendation from here.

Sun Siyam Olhuveli Our Honest Review (30th Wedding Anniversary Stay) Overall, we would rate our stay 4/5, and the reason it achieves that score is almost entirely because of Romance Island. Without it, our rating would have been considerably lower. Food – 4.5/5 Overall, the food at Sun Siyam Olhuveli was excellent. Our favourite restaurants were The Bite and The Restaurant on Romance Island, while Milano on Dream Island served the best steak we have ever tasted. We mainly had breakfast on Romance Island and Dream Island. On our first day we visited Pizza Island on Olhuveli Island and the food was very good. However, during that meal we were approached and encouraged to book the beach barbecue. Unfortunately, we felt quite pressured, and this happened on two further occasions during our stay. Having visited the Maldives seven times, we’ve never previously experienced this level of selling or promoting chargeable experiences. Our only disappointing meal was at Crust & Flame, although I must say the management handled our concerns exceptionally well, which we really appreciated. Olhuveli Island – 2.5/5 Olhuveli Island is undoubtedly beautiful, as are all three islands, but it was extremely busy and full of families with young children. I’m sure it’s a fantastic destination for families, but if you’re looking for a peaceful, romantic Maldives holiday, I personally wouldn’t recommend staying here. The staff were friendly but understandably very busy. I was also surprised by the amount of traffic around the island, with a constant flow of buggies, buses and work vehicles. It simply didn’t provide the tranquil atmosphere we’ve come to expect from the Maldives. One thing we weren’t aware of before arriving was that the shuttle bus only operates around Olhuveli and Dream Island. Thankfully, because my husband has a disability, the resort kindly arranged buggy transport for us whenever we wanted to visit Romance Island, and we were very grateful for that. For us personally, we wouldn’t choose to stay on Olhuveli Island again. Dream Island – 3/5 Dream Island is attractive and has some excellent restaurants. The buffet restaurant is only available for breakfast, as it’s used for speciality restaurants during lunch and dinner, so guests either need to use the buffet on Olhuveli Island or book restaurants on Romance Island. While quieter than Olhuveli, there were still plenty of families and children around the pools. As we were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary, it just wasn’t the peaceful atmosphere we had hoped for. We stayed in a Grand Water Villa. Although it was spotlessly clean thanks to our wonderful villa attendant, Noor, who looked after us brilliantly throughout our stay, the villa itself is beginning to look dated and would benefit from refurbishment. It was quite large but the most dated watervilla we’ve stayed in. We were shown one of the Romance Island Water Villas and offered an upgrade. The villa was absolutely stunning and exactly what we’ve experienced at other Maldivian resorts, but with only a few days remaining we decided it wasn’t worth the extra cost or the inconvenience of moving. One thing we hadn’t expected was the amount of noise. Every morning we were woken by a constant stream of buggies and work carts travelling along the boardwalk past our villa (Room 506, sunrise side). At times it genuinely felt like a train passing by. It certainly wasn’t the peaceful overwater villa experience we were expecting. Romance Island – 5/5 Thank goodness for Romance Island! Although we didn’t stay here, we spent as much time here as possible because this is exactly what we believe the Maldives should feel like peaceful, luxurious, adults only and wonderfully relaxing. The people here truly made our holiday. Zar and his team, especially Mona, Liza and Aniga (apologies if I’ve misspelled any names), went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Every member of staff was warm, caring, attentive and genuinely friendly. The food was exceptional, the drinks were excellent, and the atmosphere was everything we had hoped for. This island completely changed our opinion of the resort, and it’s the only part of Sun Siyam Olhuveli that we would happily return to in the future. Things That Could Be Improved The 24-hour Dine Around concept sounds fantastic when you book, but in reality it can be confusing. Almost everything has to be booked through the app, from restaurants to many dining experiences. We often found ourselves checking availability and making reservations rather than simply enjoying our holiday. Surely there is a much simpler and more guest friendly way of managing this. We also felt there was too much focus on selling chargeable extras. We completely understand that resorts offer optional experiences, but throughout our stay we were regularly encouraged to spend more money, whether it was beach barbecues, villa upgrades or other paid experiences. After politely declining the barbecue several times, it became uncomfortable. During our seven visits to the Maldives, we’ve never experienced this level of upselling. Final Thoughts The staff across the resort work incredibly hard and were always friendly, polite and welcoming. They are a real credit to Sun Siyam Olhuveli. However, for us as a couple celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary, the resort felt more like a large family holiday destination than the peaceful Maldives we know and love. Romance Island completely changed that. It gave us the tranquillity, outstanding service and authentic Maldivian atmosphere we had been searching for throughout our stay. Would we return? Yes—but only if we were staying on Romance Island.

We are staying at Sun Siyam Olhuveli for the second time. Our first visit was five years ago, and now we have come back with our family. We really like it here! It is especially nice to see how much the resort has grown and improved since our last visit. The resort now has three islands, 12 restaurants, cafés and bars, two spas, two gyms, a diving centre, a sports centre and plenty of activities. Basically, it has everything you need for a great holiday in the Maldives. We would also like to thank the hotel team. Thank you to Hussain for giving us such a warm welcome, and to Lipa for helping us take part in the coconut oil workshop. Thank you to Deepak from the Lagoon restaurant for taking such good care of us. A big thank you to Shakh from the diving centre for showing us the beauty of the local nature and marine life. And a very special thank you to Rudy, the resort’s Executive Sous Chef. He told us about all the restaurants and explained the different types of food they serve. He also helped us join a Maldivian cooking class. During lunch, he kindly offered us several special Indian dishes to try. Everything was delicious, and it was such a lovely and thoughtful gesture. These small personal touches are what make the service here feel truly special. You can see that the team really wants every guest to have a wonderful holiday. We are very happy to recommend Sun Siyam Olhuveli and would love to come back again!

I have stayed at several resorts in the Maldives, and unfortunately this has been my worst experience. From the beginning, everything felt unnecessarily difficult and stressful. There was a noticeable lack of warmth, no smiles, no attentiveness, no greetings and no personal touch, which is the minimum expectation in hospitality. My assigned host was particularly disappointing. I was given inaccurate information, and after the initial interaction, I never saw or heard from her again. To make matters worse, there was ongoing construction next to my water villa. The noise was already an issue, but what made it truly unacceptable was the behavior of the workers, who were watching me while I was in the water. As a solo traveler, this made me feel extremely uncomfortable and unsafe. The front office service was also poor and unhelpful throughout my stay. If you are thinking about coming here to relax, think again. You need to book everything in advance, and even then, it’s difficult to find availability in the restaurants. It constantly feels like you are managing appointments rather than enjoying your holiday. Am I on a relaxing island in the Maldives, or in a busy city hotel? Hospitality is not just about the location, it’s about how guests are treated. Empathy, care, and professionalism should come first, and sadly, these were missing here. I would not recommend this resort.

Sun Siyam Olhuveli is a stunning resort with plenty of activities to enjoy, making it the perfect destination for a relaxing and memorable vacation. Our host, Alshafa, was incredibly courteous, attentive, and exceptional with her coordination throughout our stay. She truly is a valuable asset to the resort. I would also like to recognize every staff member we interacted with, they were all warm, welcoming, and genuinely amazing. A special thanks to Anton at the Romance Island Bar and the entire dinner service team at Culinarium for making my wife’s birthday celebration so memorable. Their thoughtful service and attention to detail made the occasion truly special. I highly recommend Sun Siyam Olhuveli to anyone planning a trip to the Maldives. It was an unforgettable experience, and we can’t wait to visit again.

Santanu is the best chef who makes the most delicious pasta! A professional in his field 🤝🔥

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely incredible! This place exceeded every expectation I had. From the moment I arrived, everything was perfect. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing experience. The atmosphere was beautiful, the service was outstanding, and every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. I honestly can’t recommend this place enough. It was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had, and I’ll definitely be coming back. If you’re thinking about visiting, don’t hesitate—you won’t regret it. A truly unforgettable place that deserves every one of its five stars!

Wonderful place. We stayed on Romance Island. Peace and quiet all around. Excellent food, drinks, and staff. There are employees who speak multiple languages, including Russian. Special thanks to the team at the Dive Center on Main Island: their passion for the underwater world, the ocean, and diving is truly contagious. A huge thank you in particular to our instructor Victoria. I went diving with her several times: both on the house reef and on a boat trip. She's a true professional: she explains everything clearly, shows you what to do, and guides you through it all. Underwater, she doesn't act like a babysitter holding your hand: she knows exactly when to let the student swim independently. An excellent hotel, we will definitely come back again.

Memorable experience. Excellent service and extremely customer friendly staffs. Misba was a standout in his services

Scuba is realy new experience with excitement ... victoria , shareen, shah,migey and luca very supportive instructor ... very very happy .

Absolutely amazing! True professionals who create an unforgettable atmosphere. Their voices are simply incredible. We’re so happy we got the chance to meet them!

First time visit to Maldives with my wife and I can confidently say it was one of the best experiences we’ve had overall. I want to highlight exceptional hospitality and quality of service provided from the moment we arrived at the airport until we departed. Soon as we arrived to the hotel we were very warmly welcomed by the staff who performed traditional Maldivian conch shell welcome. Shortly we were placed at the Lagoon bar for check-in procedures that took about 15-20 minutes. I would like to express my special appreciation to Mahdi (our island host) who has helped us on any questions we had throughout our stay. Also, I would like to highlight exceptional service and great quality of food provided at Milano and Crust & Flame restaurants where under the great management of the chef Aafaag. I would also like to mention Kaana, Jani who are not only great barmen but also just great people. Last but not least, I would like to mention Mohammed (I hope I remembered the name right) the bus driver, who is super caring, kind and loves his job so much that his positive energy and vibe made us smile and feel welcomed. I can definitely recommend this hotel for those who seek great service, beautiful beaches, variety of food and active stay as there are 3 islands and a lot of things to do.

Everything was just perfect! We had an amazing stay, and I highly recommend Sun Siyam Olhuveli. A special thank you to Mahdi for being so friendly and helpful. He made our stay even more memorable.

We’ve just returned from another amazing holiday at Sun Siyam Olhuveli our third visit to what we can only describe as pure paradise. This resort is incredible in so many ways; everything truly feels perfect. A very special thank you to Abdullah, who works at Sunset Restaurant, you are so hardworking, kind, and thoughtful. You went above and beyond to help celebrate Kevin’s 60th birthday, and mine birthday too, decorating our dining table and always paying attention to the smallest details. We truly love and appreciate you for being you. At the Sunset Restaurant, Prodip makes the most incredible omelettes and always greets everyone with a smile, and Rohite, who works across Melano’s and Crust & Flame, is such a kind and thoughtful person, always smiling. You made my birthday extra special, it meant so much, and I felt honoured to introduce you to my family. Another big shout out to Rohittia at Pizza Island (apologies if I’ve misspelled your name). You are amazing, always taking the time to speak with us, even when we were just passing by. Your kindness never went unnoticed. We would also like to thank our wonderful host, Alsaba. The care and attention you gave to my family was truly outstanding. To all the ground staff, gardeners, maintenance teams, kitchen porters, and bar staff, every single one of you is exceptional. A special mention as well to the laundry team, my husband accidentally left money in a shirt that was sent for washing, and it was returned to us intact. That level of honesty is just incredible, thank you. We are already planning our next visit to your beautiful island paradise. I was genuinely emotional leaving for Male Airport your team has created memories we will treasure forever. Thank you all so, so much. I know I’ve missed many wonderful people, but please know how much we appreciate every one of you.

We had an amazing vacation at Sun Siyam Olhuveli! We traveled as two families – 4 adults and 4 children – and celebrated my birthday during our stay. Everything exceeded our expectations! ⠀ The resort is absolutely beautiful, and we were lucky to have wonderful weather throughout our holiday. One of our favorite places was the Dhoni Beach Club – we loved the atmosphere, the music, and the relaxing vibes. ⠀ A special thank you goes to Chef Rudi Setiawan for the delicious food and outstanding hospitality. It was so thoughtful of him to personally ask us every day if we enjoyed the meals. On our last evening, he surprised us with delicious chocolates, which made our farewell even more special. We truly appreciate Chef Rudi Setiawan and his team for their professionalism, dedication, and exceptional service. Thanks Spa Manager Susi for amazing service and massage for adults and kids. ⠀ Our children had a fantastic time as well. They loved the workshops at the Kids Club and had so much fun riding the tube on the water. Thanks Spa Maneger ⠀ Thank you to the entire Sun Siyam Olhuveli team for creating such wonderful memories. We had a perfect holiday and would be delighted to return!

Our stay at this resort was truly extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and exceptional service. The first two nights in the Water Villa with a Private Pool were absolutely stunning, offering breathtaking ocean views, direct lagoon access, and complete privacy. Waking up to the crystal-clear turquoise waters every morning felt like a dream. Mr. Jipson Thomas took excellent care of us and made sure we were happy and comfortable throughout our stay. He is genuinely kind, professional, and highly customer-oriented. For the next two nights, we opted for the Sunset Beach Pavilion. However, we were initially allocated a room on the top floor without a beach view. We were disappointed and frustrated and approached the front desk for assistance, but unfortunately, no one seemed willing to help. At that point, Mr. Jipson Thomas stepped in and handled the situation with remarkable patience, professionalism, and care. He took the time to explain all the available upgrade options and did his best to help us find a suitable solution. Although we were not willing to pay the additional upgrade cost, he did not give up. Instead, he escalated the matter to his superiors and worked diligently to find an alternative solution. Throughout the entire process, he remained calm, understanding, and supportive despite our frustration. Thanks to his sincere efforts and dedication, our concerns were resolved, and our experience improved significantly. The food was outstanding, with a wide variety of international and local dishes. Every restaurant offered fresh, delicious meals and excellent service. The resort staff, especially Chef Satya and his colleagues, went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction and happiness throughout our stay. However, we felt that the Indian food menu could have offered a greater variety of options. The beaches were pristine, the snorkeling experience was incredible, and the marine life around the resort was simply mesmerizing. Whether relaxing by the beach, enjoying water sports, or watching the sunset, every moment was memorable. This resort is perfect for honeymooners, couples, and anyone looking for a luxurious and peaceful escape. We left with unforgettable memories and cannot wait to return. A special thanks to Mr. Jipson Thomas, Hussain, Chef Satya and his colleague, and Vignesh (Housekeeper) for making our stay even more memorable through their exceptional service, dedication, and hospitality. Almost every employee at the resort was humble, courteous, and eager to help. However, our experience with Alsaba was not as pleasant as we had expected. Highly recommended for anyone planning a trip to the Maldives!

From the moment we arrived at Sun Siyam Olhuveli, we were warmly welcomed by Misbah. He was incredibly helpful throughout our stay, especially with the buggy service, as I was still recovering from a motorbike accident a few weeks ago. The room was spotless, the surroundings were breathtaking and the whole experience was truly amazing. Thank you Misbah and the entire team for your kindness and hospitality. We had a wonderful stay and made beautiful memories here 🩷

Our stay at Sun Siyam Olhuveli was absolutely amazing! The rooms were beautiful, spotless, and offered breathtaking ocean views. The hospitality of the staff was exceptional, and everyone was warm, friendly, and welcoming. The resort was well-maintained with outstanding cleanliness throughout. A special thanks to Ashham, who was incredibly helpful and ensured we had a smooth and memorable experience throughout our trip. Highly recommended for a perfect Maldives getaway!

Our stay at Sun Siyam Olhuveli, Maldives was truly unforgettable. The resort offers a perfect blend of luxury, natural beauty, and warm hospitality. We had visited the resort for our 10th Anniversary. The location is stunning, with crystal-clear turquoise waters, soft white sand beaches, and breathtaking sunsets. We stayed in water villa with a pool that my toddler absolutely loved. Right from the check-in to checkout everything was well coordinated and organised. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-designed, offering privacy and comfort. Waking up to the sound of the ocean and stepping right into the lagoon is an experience like no other. Food options were diverse and delicious, with multiple restaurants offering everything from international cuisine to fresh seafood. The buffet spreads were impressive, and the themed dinners added a nice touch. The staff were exceptional—friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. Their hospitality really made our stay feel special and personalized. We had some complimentary celebrations for our special occasion. A special shout out to Mr Sasi who was incredibly friendly, warm and ensured we were looked after very well during our stay . There are also plenty of activities to choose from—snorkeling, diving, water sports, spa treatments, and evening entertainment. We enjoyed our spa sessions and we were also able to spot sting rays at the dive centre as well as around our water villa Can improve: We did not try the snorkeling as the resort app said you must know swimming. however, we later found out that this was not needed so that was a miss for us because we went by the app. ..so do check with the dive centre directly for any water activities.. But my 3 yr old did enjoy a few of the water sports. Definitely recommend a stay here..worth the experience !

Olhuveli is an absolute jackpot for service lovers but a skip if you are after postcard-perfect views. The speedboat transfer from Male is a breeze and took under an hour. The hospitality is next level with super attentive staff and diverse dining options. But honestly the shallow water is choked with green seaweed, so forget about that crystal-clear crystal sea backdrop. The overwater villas are super clean but pretty basic and lack the wow factor. It is perfect if you just want to lounge and be pampered on a mid-range budget, but a letdown for snorkeling junkies and photo snobs.

We have returned from our fifth consecutive holiday to Olhuveli. To write a review should be easy however how do you put into words how special the islands and the people who look after you are, as no words can really give you the feel of how wonderful a holiday is at Olhuveli. From the moment we stepped off the speedboat at the Dive Centre we were greeted by familiar faces who welcomed us back into our Olhuveli family and back at our spiritual home. Our holiday was 1st June - 13th June 2026 we stayed in a Grand Water Villa on Dream Island. Dream island is beautiful but not our first choice as we prefer the main island but due to limited availability of accommodation this had to be our choice this year. However the villa was beautiful with a view out across the open sea. Every night we had a varied selection of marine life swim around our villa Turtles, White tipped reef sharks, Silver reef sharks, Eagle rays and Cow tail rays. Our room was serviced to a very high standard every day by Alamin who was very thorough and detailed in keeping our villa immaculate. These islands offer a wide range of activities and restaurants in which to eat. Your days are as busy or leisurely as you wish to make them. As there are multiple choices to make the staff are always on hand to guide and advise you. We are creatures of habit so for meals we looked no further than Island Pizza for lunch where we were treat like royalty by all the team Azar (manager) who we met the previous year was always warm friendly and welcoming, Kripa, Anas, Deepika, Ripka were attentive remaining calm when quite clearly under pressure due to the high demand of customers using the outlet at lunchtime. Special mention must go to Rohitha who we met on our first visit to the island in 2022 and has remained an ever present on the island. As soon as we see him in person we know we have truly arrived in paradise and our stay will be the best yet. Rohitha will tend to your every need with no issue to challenging. He takes time to understand a guests needs and will deliver providing an exceptional service and experience. Rohitha quite simply is unique and an absolute credit to Olhuveli. We love him. Mention must also be given about the service we received from Yasir from the Sunrise bar who looked after us by maintaining a steady supply of drinks throughout the day. This year there was a change from previous years with the water sports team being situated next to the Lagoon. It was also a refreshing change to encounter a water sports team who were friendly engaging and helpful with special mention for Zeinep who was regularly observed to be helpful towards guests in particular children and when spoken to personally was very informative with expert knowledge. Sunset restaurant was the outlet of choice we used regularly for dinner. Again we met staff who we first got to know from our very first visit especially Babul who once we meet again reminds us we are home and will be well looked after. We also had the pleasure of meeting new staff members who were equally efficient and attentive to our needs Darshan, Shai, Dula, Panda with special mention to a young lady Shaimaa who epitomised the enthusiasm and spirit of staff who look to enhance a guests experience. Two other staff members who deserve special mention for their dedication to their role whilst working under extreme pressure due to continuous queue of people all wishing to be served instantly are Niketh on the ice cream counter and Emran on the fruit counter. Two dining experiences were created due to these wonderful staff for my wife's birthday and also our special wedding anniversary both of which occurred during our stay. The person instrumental in arranging these events is a man who we met and knew from our first visit but we have really got to know well during this visit. Zameen (Bot). Zameen is quite clearly a hardworking member of your senior staff who motivates his staff through positive encouragement. He epitomises perfect hospitality and how it should be delivered to enhance a guests holiday. A mention must also be given to a young lady who again we first met on our first visit Ridma, who has grown and developed herself across various roles and now runs successful events on the island. It is testament to her she has developed herself and performs a role she clearly enjoys but also credit to the Sun Siyam company in recognising potential and allowing them to advance their careers. The Maldives is a special destination however Olhuveli is a magical place described regularly as paradise and quite rightly so, but what makes this island so special are all of the members of staff mentioned. You become part of a family for the duration of your stay and one you hate to leave behind when your holiday has come to an end. If you wish to visit the Maldives you cannot go wrong with this destination. Till the next time and there will be one. Thank you. Richard & Amanda (Mandy).

We enjoyed our stay so much and truly had a wonderful time. The hospitality was excellent, the island is beautiful, and the food was absolutely delicious. We really appreciate all the support and kindness shown to us by Ms.Mayumi throughout our stay. Thank you for making our experience so memorable.

Tropical gem — book Dream Island and choose your room wisely We specifically chose Sun Siyam Olhuveli because it's reachable by speedboat rather than seaplane — a practical advantage that doesn't compromise the experience. In the end, stayed in a Grand Beach Suite with pool on Dream Island, which I'd strongly recommend over the main island. The atmosphere there is relaxed and the setting is stunning — lush tropical vegetation that feels genuinely luxuriant. The staff friendliness is authentic, not performative. Special mention goes to our host Bouchra, who over the course of the stay became less like a staff member and more like family. A genuinely rare connection. Food quality was consistently good, and the resort is excellent for families with children. Two things to consider when booking: opt for newer room categories — older rooms are showing their age. And be aware that the buffet restaurants are currently busier than usual due to construction work concentrating guests. This should normalize once works are complete. Highly recommended — just book smart.

One word to describe: AMAZING.

We had the most wonderful stay. Clean, delicious and heartfelt. Infinitely cute hosts and top-kept hotel.

We have been here last year and are going back this year. It is a very nice and clean hotel. Walking distance to the beach and restaurants and there is a small supermarket nearby. Really enjoy it. The only downside was the breakfast. The breakfast is simple which is not bad at all, only the bread was often quickly consumed and when it was replenished sometimes still a little frozen. And what I personally found unfortunate...there are fried eggs but the yolk is dry so if that would change it is completely perfect 😉 Anyway, great hotel with a perfect location.
