With five resorts dotted across the Maldives, and one soon to reopen in Sri Lanka, Sun Siyam Resorts offers unforgettable experiences and affordable luxury for couples, families, watersport enthusiasts and travelers looking to make a difference. From the biggest floating water park and first horse ranch in the Maldives to stunning overwater villas with slides into the ocean, a floating platform, romantic dining experience and the world’s first underwater jet pack in collaboration with Cudajet, Sun Siyam Resorts is truly distinct.

In this world of climate change and threatened environments, regenerative travel has become a necessity. The Sun Siyam Cares program was developed to not only care for the earth, but also for the community and the people within and around the organization. They are committed to the preservation of local heritage and sustainability, and the group works together with local islands to protect various species and engage in activities such as coral planting and bio farming. Guests can actively make a difference and leave the stunning Maldives knowing they had the experience of a lifetime, but also made a difference for future generations.
