Sun Siyam Iru Fushi Maldives

We spent 10 nights at Iru Fushi (5 nights in beach villa and 5 nights in water villa). It was very magical and a trip of a lifetime.

We visited this hotel and the wonderful island 12 and 13 years ago, when it was still a Hilton. This year we were 3-rd time from 03/11/26 to 03/25/26. Since we really enjoyed our vacation, we would really like to share our impressions.   The island and the hotel have become greener (there is a lot of trees, flowers that is being cared for), more well-groomed, cleaner and more comfortable.  We was pleasantly surprised that there were more restaurants. We had half board, but for us the food was varied and it was possible to combine different restaurants.  We were very pleased that, taking into account our wishes, we have a villa with a swimming pool (No. 248). It was really very appreciated by us, as we had previously stayed in villas nearby (246). It was also very nice to receive compliments and gifts (wine, cake at the restaurant for Olya's wife's birthday, snorkeling). The staff has become more attentive and responsive. I would like to mention (thank you) separately: 1. Our butler Aizhamal, who was always in touch. She solved all the issues very carefully and promptly (!). She was helpful, correct, and unobtrusive. I was comfortable with her.  We very appreciate that have a personal butler. 2. Nalaka (in my opinion, I filled in his name correctly. I'm sorry, if  name is not correct) the restaurant manager and the restaurant where we had breakfast and dinner most often. 2.1. The food is varied, tasty and fresh. I was pleased with the availability of high-quality fruits and vegetables, cheeses and meat (especially for Europeans). As for us we did not eat much European food (we preferred local and Asian), but what was from the usual European fried eggs, pizza, spaghetti, soups was good and enough for us. 2.2. There was a lot of fish, fresh (!!!) and cooked. And even seafood. There were much kinds of smoothies, juices and other drinks, as well as all kinds of canapes, sweets and pastries. Healthy and delicious food and drinks. 2.3. I was very pleased that the cuisine alternated between Italian, Maldivian and others. We didn't get tired of the food for 15 days, we had a choice. But the local food (Maldivian Indian) is very tasty and fresh,  varied and not spicy. It was delicious and pleasant. 2.4. The restaurant staff is very attentive and empathetic. Almost all time observed was available all the time, there is enough of everything. They cooked rather faste, despite the influx of people. 2.5. I would like to thank and highlight once more Manager Nalaka separately, because without him, the restaurant and staff would not have worked so clearly. This is clearly his merit. And for all the time at breakfast and dinner (even when it was late), he was always in the restaurant, correcting everything himself. reported, wiped. Personally, I was constantly involved. He (saw other people) asked us what we were missing. Apart from the obvious professional qualities, this apparently comes from the heart. 3.The new owner and management of the hotel, as in 12 years the island and the hotel have become much more comfortable and pleasant to relax. The disadvantages of the restaurant:  1. Waiters in restoran sometimes took a long time to bring drinks (except water) to both us and people. 2. The choice (and prices) of wine in the restaurant are very small. 3. Sometimes it was noisy because of DJs, music, various programs up to 12 p.m. We are supporters of a quiet relaxing holiday. 4.Prices or some discounts. As usual want to have cheaper….. 😉 Keep it up. We hope to get back to you soon, God willing.   All the best, success and prosperity!

Very exciting arrival on seaplane and speedboat. Idyllic white beaches and turquoise sea. Stayed in water villa on stilts. Delicious Indian, Italian, Asian and islanders grill restaurants.

A massive shout out to the Sun Siyam team for an amazing holiday! A special thank you to Pasan for all his support from start to end, to Silini for being the sweetest soul in showing us around and making us familiar with the resort, and an even special thank you to Imraz. Imraz’s role was to be our butler during our stay, however, to us, he was more than that! Imraz, went over and beyond to ensure we had a memorable stay. At times we had to decide to walk from the villa to the restaurants, bars, etc, to make sure Imraz was not overworking himself! He is a true asset to have. The resort was nothing but immaculate. The food was exceptional. Sun Siyam Iru Fushi, wholeheartedly captivated us and we will certainly be back!

Thanks to the hotel staff , specially Mrs Imraz for everything they did to make our holiday unforgettable.
