At a glance
Sun Siyam Iru Fushi is a five-star, all-inclusive Maldives resort in Noonu Atoll, with 221 beach and overwater villas, 15 restaurants and bars, and an award-winning jungle spa.
This is the Maldives at full scale, a 52-acre island in the far-flung Noonu Atoll, a 45-minute seaplane from Malé. Two hundred and twenty-one villas and retreats spread along the beach and out over the lagoon, 80 of them overwater, each with a multilingual butler on call.
Eating is the headline. Fifteen restaurants and bars cover teppanyaki theatre, beachfront grills, an overwater Asian spot, and champagne lounges, all folded into the premium all-inclusive plan, so you can pick a different table every night without thinking about the bill.
The award-winning Spa by Thalgo sits in the jungle with over 165 treatments, while the region’s largest dive centre opens up a house reef full of turtles and reef sharks. It works as well for honeymooners after secret sundowners as it does for families, where up to two children under 15 stay and dine free.
Highlights
- 221 beach and overwater villas across a 52-acre island

Accommodation
Deluxe Beach Villa
Giving you direct access to the beach, the Deluxe Beach Villa offers a private jacuzzi and rain shower. You can also upgrade to get a private pool. You’ll have a spacious terrace, a cabana and views of the lagoon: a great place for al fresco dining.
Pool Beach Villa
The Pool Beach Villas are very spacious. You can host up to five guests. You’ll have a large private swimming pool, outdoor lounge area with a dining table and sun loungers overlooking the beach. Sliding doors separate the bedrooms from the living areas indoors.
Water Villa
The 5 star Water Villas offer the classic Maldivian overwater experience. The villas are perched on stilts over the lagoon. You’ll have steps giving you direct lagoon access. The views from your private sun deck are truly spectacular. You can also opt for an Infinity Pool Water Villa – which does indeed come with an infinity pool.
Aqua Retreat
This is a very grand option. The Aqua Retreat has two bedrooms with king size beds, a spacious living rooms, a private infinity pool and outdoor pavilion. You’ll also have access to your very own 24-hour butler. Ideal for a romantic trip.
Celebrity Villa
Perhaps your Chris Jenner and you’re planning to take the family for a vacation. This is the kind of villa you might go for. It fits up to ten guests. It’s spread out over two stories. This is more like a private home than a villa in a hotel. It comes with all the amenities you could possibly want and even a private beach.
Further information
Dining
Choice is the point here. Nine restaurants and six bars mean a new table every night: a globe-trotting buffet at Iru, Italian on stilts at The Trio, French plates over the water at Flavours, live teppanyaki, and beach-table Southeast Asian at Bamboo. The bars range as widely. The Bubble Lounge pours nothing but champagne, Reflections is an adults-only sundowner spot, No Mistake mixes craft cocktails on the sand, and a cellar hosts private tastings. Everything sits inside the all-inclusive rate.
Wellness
Few resort spas stretch this far. Buried in greenery at the island’s heart, The Spa by Thalgo lists more than 165 treatments across four traditions: French marine therapy built on algae, Ayurveda overseen by a resident doctor, Chinese medicine like acupuncture and cupping, and Maldivian healing that includes a coconut milk bath. A share of each local treatment funds community projects. Hydrotherapy pools, sauna, and steam room come free with any visit.
Activities
Snorkelers do well here. Steps from the villas, the reef draws turtles, reef sharks, and eagle rays, with a shallow Nemo Reef for nervous beginners and guided swims where a marine biologist logs coral data as you go. Divers get the largest center in the area and easy access to atoll sites. On land and lagoon, expect tennis, paddleboards, jet skis, craft and cooking workshops, jungle walks, and a full-day boat trip to a deserted island.
The Maldives
The Maldives is made up of more than a thousand coral islands scattered across the Indian Ocean, each resort occupying its own private atoll. No shared beaches, no neighbouring properties, no traffic. The geography does something that no amount of hotel design can replicate: it removes you completely from everything else. The range across those islands is wider than most people expect.
Our Experts
The Maldives is a stand-out when it comes to luxury travel and our most popular destination. We are also proud to be able to work with properties that are welcoming to the LGBTQ+ community.
Staying in an over-water bungalow is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I'd recommend to any traveller. It's amazing to swim in some of the world's most impressive coral reefs and the sunset's divine.
Stellar service. Stellar products. Stellar people and it gets so much better when you pick up the phone and call.
