From the moment you arrive at Sun Siyam Vilu Reef, this five-star beach and spa resort showcases its character as intimate, unhurried, and steeped in Maldivian warmth that never dates. Located south of Malé within the central atolls, there is a boutique style seclusion infused with warm hospitality and effortless barefoot luxury, as this pocket of paradise will go beyond expectations where lasting memories are made.
Offering a feeling of home, there's a collection of 153 stunning beach and overwater villas, each thoughtfully designed to ensure every detail is considered. Tropical-designed, roof villas on stilts and beach bungalows are tucked among the coconut palms, ensuring you have the best night's sleep and wake up feeling refreshed, surrounded by nature. Beach Villas offer direct access to powder-soft sands, while Water Villas rise gracefully above the lagoon, providing private steps into crystal-clear waters below – the choice is yours.
Beyond the villas, three restaurants, two bars and a wine cellar, from overwater venues to toes-in-the-sand tables, are waiting to tantalize your senses with a variety of tempting cuisines, including Italian, Indian and fresh seafood specialties. From all-day-dining with a retro, funky design at The Aqua serving cuisines from across the globe, buffet-style to fresh seafood at Well Done allowing you to dine in the most stunning surroundings as tables and chairs are set up under the shade of the coconut palms, as well as inside the restaurant located right on the beach.
Embrace the island experience from local island visits and discover the heart of Maldivian island life with a visit to a local fishing village or set out at dawn or dusk aboard a traditional Dhoni and try your luck at hand-reel fishing, just as it’s been done in the Maldives for generations. Take a sunset cruise, feel the rhythm of the lagoon on a jet ski adventure for a fast, refreshing way to explore the open water or see the colourful underwater marine life on a snorkelling expedition.
Relax and rejuvenate with a visit to The Spa at Vilu Reef, where the time-honoured practices of Eastern traditions meet modern-day wellness as you embark on a journey of relaxation and rejuvenation, designed to restore both the body and mind. Restorative treatments allow you to feel embraced by the beauty of the Maldives and the warmth of the island’s soul, as every detail of the spa experience allows you to unwind in the tranquil surroundings with every touch, every detail, and every moment contributing to your spa experience.
