Sun Siyam Olhuveli, hotel in South Male Atoll

Facing the beachfront, Sun Siyam Olhuveli offers 4-star accommodation in South Male Atoll and features an outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre and garden.

We stayed in Bungalow 727 in Dream Island, that is really great place to stay with a family of 3. The small pool and direct access to the lagoon for snorkeling make them the best spot in the island. The room was always kept very cleaned and fresh. Our focal point CJ did attend all our needs and we need to thank him for the readiness and support. All staff in the island is very friendly and ready to help, what was marvelous. The staff work hard to maintain beaches and islands tidy. Sailing with the ''house'' sailor was fantastic. The vegetation is luxuriant and provide sufficient shade while walking around. If Snorkeling is a passion once you arrive in the island, head directly to the Diving center peer and start your snorkeling around the reef. Don't forget to bring your fins and your snorkeling mask with you. Bring short fins and avoid touching the corals....many destroyed but we also saw some recovering what was very good to see. Turtles, Nurse Sharks, Lobster, Sting rays and so many other sea creatures. All vehicles are electric.

    Not everywhere you can see that much sea turtles and manta ray this was incredible;)Food is good also ,a lot of seafood for dinner. All hotel staff are super friendly and helpful. Hotel has clinic and doctor stay at resort 24/7 and after emergency call come in 10 minutes to the room. For family with kids it’s perfect.

    Both family and couple orientated the place is just fantastic, despite some hiccups the overall is very good . Is very peaceful and the island(s) quite big so not easy to get bored. Sea life is vibrating and staff excellent. Many activities to do . Try stay in bungalows with pool. This will raise the quality a noch, that will definitively make your stay more pleasant.

    So, let me tell you about our recent getaway to South Male...

    So, let me tell you about our recent getaway to South Male Atoll - it was like stepping into a postcard. From the second we landed, it was all about those island vibes and clear blue waters. Our digs were top-notch, I'm talking overwater villas and cozy beachfront bungalows with views that made us never want to leave. And don't even get me started on the snorkeling and diving - we swam with manta rays and checked out some seriously cool coral reefs. But it wasn't just about the underwater action. On land, we had spa days, tried all the water sports, and chowed some seriously fresh seafood. And let's not forget about the locals—they were so welcoming and friendly that it felt like we'd known them for years. Long story short, South Male Atoll is the ultimate chill spot. Whether you're into relaxation or adventure, there's something here for everyone. We left feeling totally refreshed and already planning our next trip back.

    Very well organised - you are taken care of as soon as you arrive until the security at the airport. You don’t lift a finger, luggage is collected/delivered. Transfer by boat was very efficient - excellent service

    The place is amazing, the watter and everything you seen in the photos and videos is exactly the same or even more beautiful. Thake care about the UV solar power, on our stay was maximum on the scale and a 50 spf is highly recommended as with 30 spf you will get burned and believe me is happening so fast 🤦🏻‍♂️ The temperature is quite constant and even during the night is very hot. Seaplane transfer can be quite expensive. Definitely worth visiting at least once in a lifetime!

    The water bungalow experience was fabulous; stepping down the bungalow steps straight into the sea and the reef area for snorkelling was amazing. There was so much underwater life to see. Although the bungalows were a little tired and the bed was not the comfiest, we loved the experience. As they are semi detached, pray you don’t get a noisy couple next door! The sunsets were stunning.

    the island is very beautiful, clean with friendly staff the food at miss Olive oyle was very good and the Maldivian restaurant is a must they have an application where you can do your reservation, requests and check the wet weather activity everyday (cooking class, drawing class and yoga). they have complimentary non motorized water activity and bicycle but the free one are very old and broken if you want the new one they are chargeable.

    I checked so many hotels before going to Maldives and most of them were quiet far and overpriced. Transfer from airport cost more than the actual price you pay for one night stay. But Adaaran Club Rannalhi was the only hotel I came across with reasonable price for transferring from airport to the hotel. Only cost me 160 dollars by ferry both ways.

    The Island and Reef are just amazing to do snorkel. The ambiance is calm and slowlife. The hotel is not luxurious but everything you need, maintaining the essence of the island and nature, which is amazing. The food buffet has a lot of variety and every day the theme changes, amazing grill and pasta.
