Sun Siyam Vilu Reef

Wonderful Stay in Paradise – Perfect in Every Detail||This was our sixth trip to the Maldives, and we are so happy we chose this resort. We had a truly relaxing vacation where we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Everything was organized to perfection – from the warm welcome at the airport and the comfortable hotel lounge, to the way the staff adapted to every wish of even the most demanding guests.||Our personal assistant Thahthi made our stay absolutely carefree and comfortable. Thank you so much for your kindness and attention to every detail!||⸻||Aqua Restaurant||Special thanks to Chaminda, the chef, for the delicious and incredibly fresh food. His personal touch in both the preparation and presentation made every meal a pleasure.|Rita always greeted us with a smile and helped us find the best table with the nicest view.|Vijay took perfect care of us with drinks and food — he always seemed to know exactly what we wanted and when.||⸻||Nautilus Bar||Ranjith and Sriram always welcomed us after diving with refreshing, perfectly mixed cocktails. Their phenomenal memory amazed us — they remembered every guest’s favorite drink and preferences. Truly impressive!||⸻||Villa Cleaning||A big thank-you to our villa attendant Arun. The villa was cleaned twice a day, always quietly and seamlessly. It felt like magic — we would leave and return to a perfectly spotless room every time.||⸻||Diving||Huge thanks to the Sun Diving team — dive guides Aku, Maria, Akko, Aush, and the whole crew onboard. The professionalism and safety standards were top-notch, and the personal approach to every diver was exceptional. Everyone was incredibly friendly and always ready to help.||I didn’t have to worry about anything — just dive, relax, and enjoy. Yes, the price is above average, but it’s absolutely worth it! One day we had four guides for just six guests — groups were divided by skill level and air mix, which was fantastic.||The dive sites around the island are beautiful and full of marine life. The only small disappointment was the local house reef — not much life there — but the nearby sites more than made up for it.||⸻||In summary, everything was perfect — from food to diving — and we left with wonderful memories. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay unforgettable!

These were absolutely the best holidays of our lives! Sun Siyam Vilu Reef is a place where everything is perfected down to the smallest detail – from the food, to the rooms, to the service and activities.||🍽️ The food is simply amazing! Every meal was a delight – fresh ingredients, beautiful presentation, and incredible taste. The restaurants offer a huge variety of dishes, and everything is top quality.||🏝️ The rooms are wonderful – spacious, modern, and spotlessly clean, with breathtaking views. It’s definitely worth upgrading to a villa with a private pool – pure relaxation, total privacy, and magical mornings with an ocean view.||🐠 The house reef is stunning – full of colorful fish, turtles, and other marine life. The diving school is top-notch: professional, well-organized, and safe – perfect for both beginners and experienced divers.||🎶 DJ Wiktoria creates an incredible vibe – her music makes every evening special, full of energy and good atmosphere!||🍹 A huge thank you to the bartenders at the Notulius Bar – they are simply amazing! Always smiling, quick, attentive, and they always remember you. They made every evening unforgettable.||💙 Special thanks to the wonderful people who made our stay so memorable:| • Thathi – our guest host, always smiling, kind, and ready to help,| • Rita and Vijay – from Aqua Restaurant, who made every meal a pleasure,| • Sahib – for keeping everything perfectly clean and always being friendly.||🧴 It’s also worth mentioning that the hotel provides all the basic amenities, so you really don’t need to bring them with you – there are toothbrushes, toothpaste, a hairdryer, slippers, towels, beach bags, and even European adapters available in the room. Such a great touch that makes packing so much easier!||This place is simply magical. Thank you to the entire Sun Siyam Vilu Reef team for an unforgettable stay. We truly recommend this resort with all our hearts – a paradise on Earth that we’ll definitely return to! 🌺🌞💦

We had the most incredible experience on this holiday imaginable- from start to finish we were made to feel so special. ||Our host Thathi was so lovely and there for anything we needed throughout. He set up a what’s app group which meant we could contact him at any point and he also sent us daily info so we didn’t miss out on what was going on around the island. ||The food was insane throughout, literally every meal we ate was incredible, even in the main buffet the standard was so high. The head chef Arbit (apologies if I have spelt that wrong) always checked in on us to make sure the food was as we wanted. We always commented how amazing it was- the best all inclusive food we have ever had with most meals being a’ la carte giving you the choice of a three course meal at each sitting! ||It is the staff that make the place also who are all so friendly and provide the most excellent service. Our favourite was Ram who mainly worked at the Well Done restaurant and went out of his way to make us feel special. Reddy at The Spice restaurant also really stood out and was so very nice to our son Alfie, always having a little joke with him and making him smile.||The service of the room was excellent too, Sabiul was our villa attendant and did a great job of looking after us throughout. ||The environment is out of this world, the snorkelling is so special and we even got to see the sea turtle while out on the reef which is something we had always wanted to do.||We came on this holiday as a celebration of our 40th birthdays and it honestly couldn’t have been any more special. ||If you are thinking of booking, I wouldn’t hesitate. It really has been the holiday of a lifetime ☀️

A truly wonderful magical experience with the best dining and snorkeling experience. |The warm welcome from the sun siyam team. Simal our host catered to all our needs and requests and the best dining experience at the spice resturant. |Reddy and Ali truly made our meals special at the spice resturant Italian by day and Indian by night. ||Our room was spotless and cleaned twice a day by Habib who is friendly and meticulous. ||The chefs are exceptional and will make things special if you have a request.|The dinner menu at well done is a wonderful experience, the duo of lamb is exceptional try it out. ||Would recommend this trip to all couples or anyone that needs a reset ||Dr MU Moosa 🇿🇦

We had a great time in Vilu Reef. The staff is amazing, extremely welcoming and friendly and you really feel that they care about the guests.|We arrived during a few days of tropical storm and our sea plane departure from Velana was delayed. In compensation the hotel offered a complimentary sunset dolphin tour. Thathi who welcomed us and showed us around also had arranged the compensation for the flight delay as well as the room we requested. He was so helpful and friendly. He was always available through Whats app during our stay and send us details about what was happening in the resort as well as departure details. We felt really looked after.|Our water villa with pool was amazing and especially during the first few days of bad weather we appreciated the sea view. We saw the most amazing sunsets from the terrace. When the weather improved we snorkelled on the house reef which is not very big but there are plenty of fish to see. We had the half board option and the food was amazing. I want to mention Vijay who served our table and was excellent. No wish was too difficult.|The staff makes the resort so special. Special mention to the one who was making Omelettes in the morning and all the other hard working staff as well. We had lunch a few times at Spice which serves italian food. The Pizza and the Pasta was very tasty and the staff was fantastic (Again sorry I don’t have the names).|A very special mention also to Ferdous who came to clean our room twice a day and refill the bottles and bring new towels etc. He also did a fantastic job. The room was always spotless after and the bed made.|Just to mention that there is construction of new Water villas underway but that did not bother us.

The island is perfect, like a dream. But the best of all is the people working there! Sham took care of us and provide the best info for every activity we wanted to do, Siva had our beach villa clean and with everything we needed, in the Aqua, Hassan had always an ice cream and a smile for us, Imran was there to offer us a good conversation and whatever was needed. We also requested the services from Sunie (the photographer) and the results were fantastic! His advice make an incredible photo shoot to remember our trip forever. It was so cool to met you! I cannot write all the names, but thanks to them, we are looking forward to our next visit. Thanks for making our stay unforgettable!

The best part of experience is service, whereever and whatever. Habib is excellent. He was very attentive and he did his job with love. The food is a la carte is really good, buffet medicore. Housereef visibilty was poor. My kid had a lot of fun in the kids club. Special thanks to Marie, Leen and Samaha who made my kid warmly welcome at all times. They made a lot of fun crafts and activities at the Turtle Kidz. The general athmosphere in the island is cozy and modern. At the SPA back massage and foot massage was very good.

Our experience was absolutely fantastic – we couldn’t fault a single thing. A very big thank you to Habib, our room attendant, who was outstanding throughout our stay. He always cleaned our room to perfection and left everything immaculate, making it such a pleasure to return each day. The food at breakfast, lunch, and dinner was consistently delicious, with every meal feeling special thanks to the wonderful chefs Bhavdeep, Ramzee, Poonam, Kiran, Younous, and Chamimda. The bartenders were equally impressive, always accommodating our preferences, with cocktails crafted to perfection – especially those by Nadun and Rashmika. What truly stood out was how welcoming and kind every member of the team was – it genuinely felt like being part of one big family, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Our host, Zidh, was incredibly helpful and always responded to our queries promptly. Across the restaurant, bar, water sports, reception, and excursions, the staff were consistently professional, attentive, and kind. A special mention goes to Rajnith at the Nautilus Bar, Shayan at the Aqua Restaurant, as well as Digajan, Dilshan, Sushil, Siriram and Thusara – their friendliness and excellent service made our holiday truly memorable. We would also like to thank the doctor, who was very professional and attended to us straight away, even though he was on his lunch break – his care was greatly appreciated. We honestly couldn’t recommend this place enough – it has been an unforgettable experience!
