Guest Reviews
- l_szl_m188 (10/5): Sun Siyam Vilu Reef - True tropical paradise. Great service, and the greatest staff. Best place we have ever been. All inclusive highly recommended it worths every cents. Impossible to describe our experience. Their hospitability is incredible, love all people there. The gardener, house keeper, waiters bartenders, host receptionists are all superstars. The restaurants have wide variety of food from traditional to western. The housereef is reach of marine life. The beach villas are absolutely confy under the jungle style green vegetation. Amaizing resort.
- 986natalliam (8/5): Family vacation - We stayed at this hotel as a family about a week ago and would like to share our experience. First of all, we would like to thank the hotel for upgrading our parents’ room - the beach villa with a private pool was wonderful. The hotel is clean and pleasant overall, although in our opinion it could benefit from some renovation to keep up with modern standards. Now about the highlights. 1) A beautiful house reef — perfect for snorkeling. 2) Friendly and attentive staff. We would especially like to thank everyone who made our stay more enjoyable: our housekeeping manager, our host Aliya, our diving instructor Maria, with whom we were lucky to see whale sharks and learn more about marine life, all the lovely staff in the restaurants and by the pool, the hotel management, and the chef for being attentive to our preferences. 3) Great beach villas with private pools and water villas. 4) Dinners at Well Done and Spice restaurants were enjoyable. Now a few points that could be improved. 1) It might be worth reconsidering the all-inclusive concept - it was a bit surprising that juices, ice cream, and sparkling wine were not included. 2) There are some exposed nails in the wooden walkways, which feels unsafe, especially in a place where you want to walk barefoot. 3) The view of a nearby island on one side, where the reef is located, slightly affects the sense of privacy. 4) The lighting in the evening is quite dim -we personally liked it, but it might be inconvenient for older guests or those with poor eyesight. In conclusion, we would like to thank the entire team once again for making our stay so pleasant. We wish the hotel continued success and hope that the current situation in the region will not affect you too much. Namaste!
- W9492LKmichaelb (10/5): excellent luxury resort - We went there for a family trip. We were really happy thats a great luxury resort on top level. Here the good points, and the points to improve Good points: A lot of indian food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. minimal western food. btw. thanks to Chef Chaminda, who takes care .. There are currently two additional alacarte restaurants, but they need reservations. Due to restricted travel, we went there when the island was more or less empty. but still it was not always possible to get seats at the real restaurants, and we had to eat at the buffet. Snorkeling was nice. Gear was included, so no need to bring with you. Even on the house reef we were able to see sharks (black and whitetips), eagly rays, turtles, etc. In the evening at around 5:30-6pm dolphins will swim by.. you can get one free tour to follow them with a boat. Points to improve: There is still construction going on. The impact on the island is actually minimal, but under water you have a lot of dirt, dust and a lot of noise. The best housereef is also blocked by the current construction. really sad. When the new construction is ready (I think by 15th of April 2026) they will more or less double the amount of rooms there. I am not sure if this will be too big for this small island. We will see.. they will get an additional restaurant as well.
- H3183LLmargheritar (10/5): Family Holiday - Our stay at Vilu Reef was truly a dream come true. The setting is stunning, but what really stood out were the exceptional resort services. From the seamless organization and luggage transfer to the warmest welcome upon arrival (special thanks to Summer!)—with refreshing fresh coconut water (much appreciated!)—we immediately felt relaxed and cared for. We stayed in the pool villa, which was beautifully cleaned daily by the incredibly kind Sakhawat. The gardeners’ maintenance was impeccable. The resort and island are both intimate in size (which is why we chose it), surrounded by lush greenery, and offer a full range of services for both adults and children. We were pleasantly surprised by the food options: thoughtfully sustainable with many plant-based dishes. We were also lucky enough to experience the beach events at night three times, which were wonderful. Special thanks to Shayan, our fantastic waiter, who played with our daughter throughout our stay, along with Roji. When our flight was delayed, the staff kindly offered us extended access to their lounge, which was a huge help with our 2-year-old. The lounge features a lovely kids’ play area as well as food and beverages, making the wait much more comfortable.
- jaroslavz602 (10/5): Summary - Beautiful resort with great services. Many thanks to Habib for his room service, Aliya for her help in any situation and Younis for his awesome cooking skills and care :)
- E3467OQbeatriceb (10/5): Great and Amazing room service - I had a fantastic, relaxing, and rejuvenating vacation. I thank Sahib for the fantastic room service; everything was always clean and well-maintained. Always available for any room needs.
- BrammersLeeds (10/5): Beyond all the expectations! And Shafan and s the man!! - With the current building work going on, immediate impressions weren’t too good - how wrong could I be! This is an outstanding resort. The island itself is tiny but has plenty of space for those who want it and none of the restaurants ever felt crowded. The food in all the restaurants is first class and there’s plenty of variety. It caters really well for vegan and vegetarian options. Evening entertainment ranged from low key to brilliant, in particular the gala dinners were fantastic. The spa treatments are wonderful also with some very strong hands involved 😎. Now the jewels in the crown - the reef which is one of the best I’ve seen, and the staff. Too many staff to name in person but one that stood out for us was our host, Shafan. Shafan is a wonderful human being who makes dreams happen! Every single member of staff deserves a huge thank you though, they were all wonderful. A final mention - the excursions. A bit expensive but worth every penny. We did the snorkel safari and in 1 day swam with nurse sharks, dolphins, turtles and sting rays !
- Mickedif (10/5): Honeymoon at Vilu Reef - We had a great stay at Sun Siyam Vilu Reef. A perfect honeymoon. Spent our days in a Deluxe Beach Villa. Everyone in the staff at the resort is so kind serviceminded. Just to mention some of them…. The chef Chaminda at the Aqua restaurant. Wonderful personal assistance for my wife Tess, who has a allergy for Garlic. Chaminda arranged nice alternatives. Then servants Vijay and Bhuwan. So kind , happy and fun persons. And of course all other wonderful people we met <3 You all made our honeymoon trip to the best!!
- markukus (10/5): A very memorable holiday - This was our 9th holiday in the Maldives and we visited from 14 March and stayed for 8 nights in a Deluxe Beach Villa (142 on the sunrise side of the island). It was a fantastic holiday. Naaish acted quickly to move us from our original room of 122 as it was directly opposite Meedhoo (a Maldivian locals/commercial island) and very near the building work. Naaish did an excellent job letting us know about the various activities etc and helping us with any questions. Villa. The villa was excellent. A good size with all the amenities you need; plenty of UK plug sockets. Habib did a fantastic job maintaining the inside and outside of the villa. He went above and beyond for both our birthdays with his artistic flair. Habib was always friendly, smiling, very efficient, polite and courteous. The room was spotless with fresh towels daily. Habib is a real asset to Sun Siyam. Diving I did 7 dives via the dive centre; one in the lagoon (orientation dive as it been 11 months since my last one) and 6 out on the ocean. The dive team and boat crew were outstanding; Maria, Samuel, Akko and Webber (unfortunately, I can’t remember the boat crew guy’s names). I did the majority of my dives with Samaal, who was excellent. He’s a great diver, really good at spotting hard to find fish life and importantly very safe. I also got some fantastic videos. Samaal is another big asset to Sun Siyam. In between a 2 tank dive, the team took the divers to the farm island, where some of the fresh produce grows. Great to see and a unexpected bonus. We snorkeled on the house reef several times (on the sunrise side). It’s a great spot for seeing a wide variety of sea life. We saw a pod of dolphins travel from the southern end through the channel up to the northern end almost constantly jumping and spinning out of the water; it was an incredible sight. Food and Drink The food and drink was of a very high standard. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals at Spice as well as Aqua; the afternoon snacks at Positive Energy were great following an afternoon dive. The staff were all very attentive and helpful. In particular Shayan who we saw regularly at breakfast and on the occasions we went to Aqua for dinner. He had reserved a Happy Birthday personalised table in our favourite spot on the deck overlooking the sea for us on our Birthdays crafting the words with red rice by hand. Vijay also did a great job and Younos made excellent hand cooked fresh omelettes daily, which we enjoyed. We loved the Nautilus Bar, particularly for sundowners; all the bar staff were excellent. Sunrise vs Sunset We chose the sunrise side and hadn’t fully appreciated how close Meedhoo is. If people are after the perfect, unobstructed Maldivian view they may be disappointed and would need to book the sunrise side. That said the villas at the top of the sunrise side have a better view and our villa position worked well. Overall a very memorable holiday and the island ranks very high in the places we’ve visited in the Maldives
- Seaside605620 (10/5): Unforgettable stay at Sun Siyam Vilu Reef - We had an absolutely incredible stay at Sun Siam Vilu Reef and somewhere we will definately return to. We have been lucky to have visited the Maldives on two previous occasions, staying at Sun Siyam Olhuvelhi which we loved initally for it's smaller intimate feel however on our second visit it had expanded into a much larger resort so this time round we looked to find a smaller, more personal and relaxed island and this island was exactly that, everything we could have hoped for. The island is beautifully small and intimate which made the whole experience feel so special. The staff truly made our stay unforgettable. Every single person we encountered was warm, friendly and always smiling. Nothing was ever too much trouble and the level of service was exception throughout. The food was outstanding with a special mention to Chef Chaminda whose prawn & pinepple Sri Lankan curries were absolutely delicious and also the baked fish dish he made for us. He even shared some of his recipes with us, the Prawn curry i've already made. We were also so well looked after by Asmita, Rita & Vijay who went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. The house reef is vast and full of marine life, we saw so many amazing fish and sea creatures just steps from our water villa which made the experience even more magical. Sun Siyam Vilu Reef was everything we were hoping for and more. Peaceful, personal and truly unforgettable. We can't wait to come back!
- sgS738FL (10/5): Amazing visit! - Алия - наш куратор - очень дружелюбная, профессинально подошла ко всем вопросам, которые надо было решить. Добрая и отзывчивая! Отдых прошёл великолепно! Люди добродушный на всем побережье острова! Нам особенно понравился Arun - villa attendant! Our rooms always clean and more important - kindness for kids. Every day we found drawing pictures on the floor with "have a nice day". Thank you everyone one! We are very appreciated!
- katekG5570AU (10/5): With gratitude to the beautiful Maldives and the staff of Vilu Reef. - It was a wonderful vacation — exactly the kind of holiday I had dreamed of. A small, very cozy island, authentic and beautiful. We stayed in a white villa with a pool and a stunning view of the ocean. Just a few meters from the lagoon where the house reef is located. You step out of your villa, dive in — and you’re already among marine life. We really enjoyed the restaurants — delicious food, themed dishes every day, desserts, and fresh fruits. There is a special menu for children, and even porridge for breakfast. I had worried unnecessarily about my child’s meals — she ate with great pleasure. My daughter absolutely loved the kids’ club. There are plenty of toys and even a dedicated pool. Children from the age of three can be left under the supervision of a nanny. The staff are lovely and know how to keep kids engaged. We even brought home a whole bag of her crafts. She happily stayed to play, while I could relax and enjoy snorkeling. Snorkeling at Vilu Reef is a special kind of joy! The reef is beautiful and large, located just a few meters from the shore. I would like to thank the hotel staff for their warm welcome, attentiveness, and kindness. Special thanks to our manager, Aliya, who was always in touch and helped us with any questions. We would love to come back again! ✨
- F710WO_ (10/5): Tourist attractions - Maldives Melu Lifu Island | Full score and praise | Close your eyes and don't lose Finally, I checked in at Melulifu Island, which was favored by countless people. I was amazed all the way. This is what Malaysia should be like! When we arrived on the island, we were received by the Chinese housekeeper Summer. She was very serious and responsible. She replied to messages and dealt with problems very quickly. Her service attitude was very good. Beautiful sea view + trailing beach, take a casual film After 35 minutes of water flying to the island, I was shocked at first sight - the jelly sea gradually turned blue, so clear that you could see the underwater corals and fish. The 500-meter trailing beach is excellent. The white sand is as delicate as flour. Walking barefoot is super comfortable, and the sunset is even more romantic to the extreme. It's only a 13-minute walk around the island. It's densely green, full of privacy, few people and not noisy, which is very suitable for emptying. The room type is comfortable and the details are perfect. I lived in a water house + a sand house, and the experience was great. The water house has a slide, which is super convenient to go directly into the sea; the sand house is surrounded by a garden, and the open-air bathtub is super atmospheric. The room is clean and tidy, with a traditional Madai dome + thatched roof. The interior is modern and comfortable, with complete equipment and great privacy. All-inclusive price, excellent catering The price includes everything. It's too worry-free. Three meals + all-you-can-drink alcohol, which is cost-effective. The main restaurant A qua buffet changes every day. Seafood, Western food and Asian dishes are available, and the taste is online. The atmosphere of the beach restaurant is excellent, and it is too pleasant to eat delicious food in the sea breeze. The service staff is warm and considerate, and the Chinese butler is online throughout the whole process, and the details are full. Rich activities, honeymoon holy place The atmosphere of the couple's honeymoon is full, dragging the tail beach, starry dinner, private enjoyment in the water house, romantic to the bone. Sea fishing, motorboats, canoes and other projects are complete, so you will not be bored every day. Sum up Meilu Lifu Island is really a hidden treasure in Malaysia. The sea view, snorkeling, service and cost-effectiveness are all online. The island with a large number of returning customers is indeed worthy of its reputation. Whether it's a honeymoon, parent-child or vacation, it can be perfectly adapted and definitely worth a second brush!
- 342abhinavv (10/5): A Memorable Festive Family Stay at Vilu Reef - We had a wonderful 12-night stay at Vilu Reef over the festive period as a family of four (two adults, children aged 7 and 10) on an all-inclusive package. The staff were consistently warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive, making us feel well cared for throughout our stay. They also have many special themed events on during the festive period which added to the fun of the holiday. Location The island is a 45 minute seaplane ride from Male and is quite contained and very picturesque. It only takes about 15 minutes to walk around so no buggies or bikes are needed and it has a good amount of tree coverage on footpaths but can get hot on the beach or in uncovered areas. Snorkelling on the house reef is great for seeing colorful fish but the waves can get rough so they have a flag system to guide you on the safety of snorkelling that changes each day. Food & Beverage We ate most meals at Aqua, which offered an excellent variety of South Asian and Western dishes, live cooking stations, and strong vegetarian options. A special thank you to Chef Chaminda for the delicious Sri Lankan food. We were beautifully looked after by Asmita, Rita, Vijay, Shayanta, Imran, Sagar, Zayan, and Aman, who also helped welcome us each meal and gave the place a homely feel and helped to celebrate my birthday. The teams at Nautilus and the Pool Bar were equally attentive—thank you to Ali, Sri Ram, Readdy, and Thusara. Chef Nithin regularly checked in for feedback, which reflected strong and thoughtful leadership. Housekeeping & Maintenance We were in an Overwater Sunset Villa which fitted our family well for our stay with great sunset views over the water. Our room was cleaned twice daily to a very high standard. A plumbing issue was addressed promptly, and we were upgraded the following day. Thank you to Dipak and Esrail for regularly checking in, with special mention to Dipak for the thoughtful touches, including celebratory messages and complimentary drinks. Thanks also to Ferodous for his thorough cleaning. Kids Club The Kids Club offered a great range of activities, and our children were very well looked after—special thanks to Sam. Opening hours is usually 9am-1pm then 2pm until 8pm but hours varied during the festive season due to other resort activities being on. Host Finally, thank you to Zidh, our host, who was extremely responsive via WhatsApp, kept us informed of daily events, and assisted with bookings for the dolphin cruise and manta/whale shark tour. Overall, a fantastic family holiday supported by an outstanding team.
- ebizm (10/5): Exceptional Experience at Sun Siyam Vilu Reef - Sun Siyam Vilu Reef delivers excellence across the board. The location is stunning—pristine waters, incredible house reef, and a perfectly balanced atmosphere that’s both lively and deeply relaxing. The staff are truly world-class. A special thank-you to Reema, an outstanding host who set the tone from day one with professionalism and warmth. Ranjeet, Shiayan, Ram, Sriram, and Digajan consistently went above and beyond—attentive, proactive, and genuinely invested in making the stay exceptional. Arun, our villa attendant, deserves recognition for his creativity—his beautifully done, thoughtful decorations added a personal touch that genuinely elevated the experience. The snorkeling and water sports team did an awesome job. Well-organized, safety-focused, and enthusiastic—it made every ocean experience seamless and memorable. The food deserves its own spotlight. The quality and variety were excellent throughout the stay. Vijay, the chef, was phenomenal—his Indian dishes were absolutely outstanding and clearly prepared with expertise and pride. Some of the best Indian food I’ve had at a resort, period. There’s plenty to do if you want activity, yet the resort maintains a very chill, unforced vibe. You can be as active or as relaxed as you choose—rarely do resorts strike that balance this well. Bottom line: exceptional service, excellent food, beautiful setting, and a team that genuinely cares. Sun Siyam Vilu Reef executes at a high level and delivers real value. Highly recommended!!!
- nerjesn2021 (10/5): The best stay ever, I can’t wait to come back - The people working on this island are among the kindest, warmest and most loving people I have ever meet. They made us feel so welcomed. Mr Baasith our island host is truly the best host ever! Thank you for making our stay unforgettable :D
- wenjiex2026 (10/5): amazing and Dream visit - Such a beautiful island with the warmest people. Every staff member made us feel so welcome. At Well Done and The Aqua restaurant , we were always greeted with smiles, and they even remembered our dining preferences. Our butler, Summer, was incredibly thoughtful—always quick to reply and even surprised us with a complimentary upgrade to an amazing room. Truly an unforgettable trip. Missing island life already 🥰 🌴
- paulhQ2823DA (10/5): Wedding in paradise - Absolute paradise, we stayed in water villa 438 and our stay was amazing, from our pool all sorts of fish swam by which was the best, the staff were so friendly we didnt pass 1 member of staff who didnt say hello or wish a happy new year, our host Naarish was excellent and anything we needed we just had to message, highly recommd
- marekh2026 (10/5): Perfect - The resort was stunning and our entire stay was excellent—we felt comfortable and everything worked as it should. I would especially like to highlight Naish, who took care of us: he was always available, very helpful, and his attitude made our stay even better. Thank you.
- mac20232023 (10/5): Great island for relaxing Christmas and New Year vacation - We had a wonderful stay at Sun Siyam Vilu Reef and would definitely give it a high rating. From the first day on, the staff were very friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. A special thank you goes to our Island Host Naaish, who was available at any time and took great care of us throughout the stay. The resort is very child-friendly. The food was very good. Main restaurant Aqua serves breakfast and buffet lunch and dinner. We especially enjoyed the restaurants “Well Done” and “The Spice,” where both the food and service were great. But only included in All Inclusive. Otherwise one needs to pay extra. The cocktails at the two bars tasted excellent, and there was also a good selection of wines at restaurants. Housekeeping came twice a day, in the morning and in the evening, and always did a great job. We really liked the small decorations made from leaves or reeds on our bed, which was a lovely personal touch. The staff in general were very kind, polite, and always willing to help. There were many watersport activities available. We used SUP, glass-bottom canoes and Jet Ski. The latter was chargeable. Our private snorkeling tour was amazing and one of the highlights of our trip. Though the reefs seem to already bleach a bit. The New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner and party were very special and clearly prepared with a lot of care and efforts by the staff. Overall, we truly enjoyed our time at Sun Siyam Vilu Reef and took home many great memories. We would gladly come back and can recommend this resort without hesitation.
- pooleyc (6/5): Sun Siyam Villu — Great Hotel, But disappointing onsite Snorkelling and Beach Access - The staff are friendly and attentive, and our water villa was comfortable and beautifully presented. Everything around the property felt well maintained and luxurious, and the service consistently made us feel welcome. However, we were disappointed with the snorkelling at the hotel. We had carefully researched and communicated with the hotel before our stay, specifically asking about the house reef, but at no point were we informed that it has been severely affected by construction work. Upon arrival, we discovered that any good snorkelling on the house reef was essentially impossible. The rear house reef suffers from poor visibility due to sand dredging, the front reef is off-limits due to construction, and the reef near the water villas is not recommended because of strong currents. After checking with water sports, dive operations, and other sources on the island, the only option for snorkelling was to pay for an organised tour. Similarly, for diving, only boat dives are possible. Another surprising point was the limited availability of beach loungers. Those staying in beach villas have ample loungers, but for guests like us in water villas, there were only a handful of loungers available — making it awkward to relax comfortably on the sand with any shade. The hotel has placed some loungers by the pool and some by the pipe which is dredging at the rear of the property. That’s it. On a positive note, off-island diving is excellent, with professional dive crews providing well-organised trips to healthy reefs nearby, with great visibility and a safe, enjoyable experience. While the hotel and staff are excellent, snorkelling and diving enthusiasts should be aware that the on-site reefs are currently unusable, and beach access is very limited for non-beach villa guests. Clear communication about these issues would significantly improve guest expectations and overall experience.
- svenlJ3612QP (10/5): Relaxing stay - We had the most amazing stay at Sun Siyam Vilu Reef in November, and it truly exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed, relaxed, and completely taken care of. A very special thank you goes to our island host, Baasith
- Sightseer49030864598 (10/5): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Stay at Sun Siyam Vilu Reef - We had an unforgettable stay at Sun Siyam Vilu Reef last November. The resort exceeded all our expectations, from the stunning island atmosphere to the warm and genuine hospitality. Our stay was made even more special with beautifully arranged birthday and wedding anniversary celebrations. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, making both occasions truly memorable and full of joy. A special mention goes to our Island Host, Baasith, who went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect throughout our stay. His friendliness, professionalism, and constant care made us feel truly valued and at home. Sun Siyam Vilu Reef is a paradise where luxury meets heartfelt service. We highly recommend it and can’t wait to return again.
- 347niccolom (10/5): Great!!! - Great stay!!! We totally enjoyed this beautiful island! Everything was great: food, diving, people! Thank to Habib for the great care that had for our Villa on the beach! See you soon!!!
- 527giannisn (2/5): Very but stuff and the manager didn’t even listen want we have to say - Just a quick heads-up for anyone considering Sun Siyam 🏝️ Extremely overpriced and honestly far below expectations. Even though we booked All Inclusive, the portions were very small, the offerings limited, and the overall attitude felt purely money-driven. Way too stingy for a resort at this level. On the other hand we went before in(4★) was excellent – amazing service, we truly felt like royalty 👑 Beautiful island overall, food was average, but nothing compares to the disappointment we experienced at Sun Siyam. Sharing this so people know what to expect.
- J9293FJsergiog (10/5): The most beautiful resort in the world that I’ve ever visited - We spent a week here during Christmas.. An astonishing resort in the most beautiful place.. I have travelled the world and Sun Siyam Vilu Reefs beauty is unparalleled. From the second you arrive you are treated like royalty. Our host Baasith was like a guide from a movie. As you take your first steps he shows us everything. A Friendly message came in the mornings with an itinerary of activities to choose from. Anything you need your host will take care of or recommend. Every one of the several restaurants was exquisite, romantic and the best food I’ve ever tasted in my life. The chefs explain dishes and make recommendations for new things to try. So much variety of desserts and flavors from every corner of the earth. The staff go the extra mile to give you a unique personal experience. At night there’s always entertainment and music and parties, we saw Maldivian culture show, belly dancers, live bands, djs and the craziest fire show.. it was like something out of Cirque du Soleil with choreography, and sparks and beautiful costumes. Better than I’d seen in Vegas or anywhere. The snorkeling just outside your villa is some of the best in the entire Maldives region.. on the reef of the resort we saw a baby manta, big sea turtles, at night you watch small sharks and schools of colorful fish. At the buffet as you eat dinner in the moonlight below your table there are baby sharks and schools of fish. There’s is something for everyone. Quiet intimate places to explore if your newlyweds or it’s an anniversary. As well as foods and activities for entire family. We stayed during Christmas and the attention to detail was like nothing I’d seen. Everyday the resort transforms and you wake up to new variety of themes, parties, activities and culture. The Santa & Christmas experience for the kids made me want to have children of my own just so they could experience it. The villas are quite big and everything in them was perfect. a bathtub with an ocean view, private steps to clear water a big comfy bed and with an indoor lounge area and work station and sunrises view. If you want privacy you don’t even need to leave the villa, food is steps away or comes to you. Definitely have a massage or a few at the spa. I stayed in a on the water villa and also highly recommend it. The villas are prestine and rather big. I’ll be back again and again god willing.
- Solo17 (10/5): Beautiful island with amazing staff - Amazing vacation at the Sun Siyam Vilu Reef. All my family really enjoyed it and felt like home with the very professional and kind staff. They do everything to make us spend beautiful vacation. A special thank to Naaish for taking care of us and to Al Sahib for taking care of our bedrooms 154/155. A big thanks also to Akko at the diving center for making every dive special and for his special dedication to our 10 years old son during the dives. Thank you all, we forgot about time and what day it was while on the island.

- vickybL8462XE (10/5): Lost for words Amazing! - What an unbelievable experience! My son and I spent Christmas and New Year here and have had the time of our lives. The staff are unbelievable so welcoming and attentive. Snorkelled for the first time today absolutely terrified but with the help of the instructor experienced something utterly amazing. Cinema on the beach a must. Misty and her team at The Spice create food that is delicious beyond words! Positive Energy Bar such lovely staff. Entertainment spectacular as were the gala dinners. The effort that went into them amazing. I could go on and on. Just about to book next Christmas! Thank you so much for this amazing experience.
- 865virgilg (10/5): Staff and conditions - It was an amazing holiday for us!! Our island host Summer, helped us and make our days easier, very kind and welcoming. We have 2 kids and in my opinion we couldn’t find better hotel for them than this one. The staff around was so kind and friendly, so good with kids, they played together, speak, their friends. We meet Reddy and Ali who helped us a lot and they were so good with us. All the staff speak very good English, the conditions are very good, the rooms are cleaned 2 times per day.
- 124maryamy (10/5): Excellent Service, Wonderful Staff, and Great Memories - Our stay at Vilu Reef Resort was absolutely amazing and truly unforgettable. The service was excellent in every way from the watersports to the wide variety of delicious food choices. Everything was perfectly arranged and well managed. A very special thanks to our host Baasith, who was exceptional. He always checked on us, made sure we were comfortable, and went out of his way to do everything exactly as we wished. His care and attention made our stay even more special. We would also like to sincerely thank the watersport team, F&B team, and our room boy for their kindness, professionalism, and excellent service throughout our stay. We enjoyed our honeymoon to the fullest and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It was a 10/10 stay, and we are so happy with everything. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a perfect and memorable getaway! 🌴💖
- noahcT9555SP (10/5): Great Vacation - We want to say that the Team there was really good and helpfull. Everywhere we went the people were nice.

- congm579 (10/5): our trip - My friends and I both like this trip very much. The Maldives left a very good impression on us. Our housekeeper Baasith is very thoughtful and teaches us to speak the local language. I hope we can come here again next year.
- 861xux (10/5): A satisfying tour - I went on a trip alone, and the experience was very satisfying. The scenery on the island was very beautiful, the food was very tempting, and the staff on the island were also very friendly. I was really satisfied. What impressed me the most was the butler Baasith arranged by the hotel. He was amazing, and his thoughtful service made my journey smoother and more enjoyable. I hope other travelers who go on a trip can be as lucky as me. I strongly recommend him
- 803yanz (10/5): A perfect journey on vilu reef - This was a surprising and impressive journey. Everything on vilu reef was perfect. We spent an unforgettable journey here. In particular, our housekeeper, Bassith, was an excellent housekeeper who took great care of us and responded to our needs in a timely manner. He was an outstanding employee. I would even choose to travel to vilu reef again just because of him.
- L6904JRss (10/5): Everything was exceptionally amazing! - Everything was incredible and we enjoyed everything!! The staff was always friendly and welcoming, room’s were always clean, the food was good, and the activities (water activities, for kids, afternoon - Christmas) were great!

Amazing place and we hope to come back😊
- Exploration743585 (10/5): Good experience - Sun Siyam Vilu Reef is on a great island with beautiful lagoon. We enjoyed our overwater villa and Sabiul’s room service is great.

- 455terezah (10/5): Wonderful stay - We had a wonderful stay in the Maldives and would rate our experience 9/10. From the moment we arrived, we felt very welcome, especially as a family traveling with children. The atmosphere was relaxed, safe, and truly family-friendly, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The biggest highlight was the exceptionally friendly and attentive staff. Everyone was kind and professional, but we would especially like to mention Naaish, who was incredibly helpful throughout our stay. He was always available, proactive, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was perfect for us. His support made a real difference and added a very personal touch to our experience. The overall food quality was excellent. We particularly enjoyed the fresh fish and perfectly prepared steaks, which were outstanding. Breakfasts were good, although we would have appreciated a wider selection of fresh fruit. The afternoon tea snacks could also have been more varied and generous. Overall, it was a fantastic holiday in a beautiful destination with great service, delicious food, and a warm, welcoming environment for families with children. We would happily return and recommend this resort to others looking for a relaxing yet family-friendly Maldivian escape.
- timothylL7347YF (10/5): Our week holiday at Vilu reef in December 2025 - We had a marvellous holiday - the hotel was beautiful , the activities were exciting and last but not least the staff were friendly and fun . Our host , baatish went out of his way to make this such a memorable stay -we strongly recommend Vilu reef to anyone looking for an out of world experience
- Vacation43438499301 (10/5): A Choice I’d Make Again🏝️☀️🦀 - Everything about this resort was absolutely perfect. The island is stunning, the ocean colors are unreal, and the atmosphere is pure relaxation. Our Deluxe Beach Villa 117 was spacious, elegant and very comfortable, with an outdoor shower and direct access to the beach. Food was excellent in every restaurant. In particular, we really appreciated the Well Done restaurant, which offers great variety and high-quality food. The sommelier Dilshad is very professional. “Well Done” guys! The entire staff was warm, professional and genuinely caring. A special thank you to our great host Baasith and to Habib, who took wonderful care of our room every day with superb attention and kindness. Hope to be back here one day! ☀️🏝️
- marcin2k9 (10/5): Amazing staff who go the extra mile to make your vacation the most memorable - Highly recommended destination for families with amazing hospitality from our host Baasith who goes out of his way to ensure you have the best time ever from start to end. As well from Babul who took care of our room twice a day with a great big smile. The kids club, pool and house reef for snorkeling were all perfect for kids. The staff always took great care of my daughter. My daughter was 4 years and she was able to go snorkeling as the waters were shallow enough for her. If you want have kids, love great food and the beach this place is a no brainer. The staff will ensure to take care of you. Looking forward to coming back. If you’re worried about taking another plane, the resort will manage this for you and your luggage. You will even enjoy a great lounge and amazing views on the short flight of 40min.
- marksX9493CE (10/5): Vilu Reef December 2025 - Our family stayed at Vilu Reef for 7 nights in December 2025 on an all inclusive basis, it was a special occasion for my wife's birthday. There were 5 of us based in two separate rooms. This was our first visit to the island, but 6th time overall in the Maldives and 3rd time to a Sun Siyam resort having previously been to Iru Fushi and Olhuvelli. Initially hesitant to go due to ongoing construction works that were going on as we weren't informed by the resort that there was any construction work planned. After discussion with the resort, and some compensation, we decided to go ahead with our visit. We need not have hesitated as the ongoing construction work did not prevent us from having a fantastic time! The only thing that i would say impacted us was when snorkeling on the house reef, where visibility was often poor around where the construction was taking place and often there was small amounts of debris in the water. Other parts of the reef around the sunrise side of the island had better visibility. We had a great time on the snorkeling safari trip to nearby reefs, which was an additional cost, but in my opinion should perhaps be offered free of charge to guests whilst the construction is ongoing. We had booked a beach villa with pool for 7 nights. When we arrived we were put in a water villa with pool for 2 nights before moving to the beach villa with pool for 5 nights. In our opinion we much preferred the beach villa with Pool, which was fantastic, we loved it. Many thanks to our Island Host Zhid who looked after us and made sure that changing villas was absolutely seamless and our cleaner Sahib who kept our villa immaculate during our stay. Vilu reef is a beautiful island, but what really makes the island, is the staff. This island has the best staff out of all our previous trips to the Maldives. The staff cannot do enough for you, they are so friendly and always have time to stop and chat. As Vilu is a small island, you see the same staff every day, they really are brilliant and we would return to Vilu Reef on that basis alone. Many thanks to Asmita, Imran and Vijay who looked after us in the Aqua restaurant. Juri at the pool bar and Ranjit at the Nautilus Bar. I did not catch all of the staff names, there are so many more that we could mention. The food at the Aqua and The Spice was amazing, thanks to the Chefs for always cooking us up something special. We have two vegetarians in our family and nothing was ever too much trouble where something may not have been standard on the menu. All in all we had a great time and would like to return once the construction is complete. Thanks again to all the staff, you are an absolute credit to the island.
- 249ainarap (10/5): Perfect Paradise and perfect butler 🫶 - Stayed at Vilu Reef, Maldives from 29 July to 4 September 2025, and it was absolutely magical! 🌴💦 The villa, the sunsets, and the turquoise waters were breathtaking—but the real star was our incredible butler, Baasith 😊. Attentive, cheerful, and always one step ahead, he made our long stay seamless and unforgettable. 😘 If you’re looking for luxury, relaxation, and a touch of magic, Vilu Reef is paradise perfected. Five stars aren’t enough! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ainara Monter from Barcelona :)
- 222rachaelu (10/5): A brilliant stay at Sun Siyam - Our stay in the Maldives was truly unforgettable, made exceptional by the incredible staff who went above and beyond to ensure every moment was perfect. A special mention goes to Naaish, our host, for whom no request was ever too small — always attentive, proactive, and a pleasure to deal with throughout our stay! Arun, our room attendant, brightened our days with his wonderful room art and thoughtful attention to detail, which never failed to put a smile on our faces. At Nautilus, Ranjith provided outstanding service(and great cocktails). We were also consistently looked after Imran, Vijay, and Rita at Aqua, whose friendly service made every visit great. Ali at Spice also made our stay wonderful ! The food at all the restaurants is exceptional and we couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you to the entire team for creating such a memorable and special experience. We cant wait to return :)
- 47arrank (10/5): Naaish the superstar - We had an amazing time on our Honeymoon From the moment we landed in the island we felt completely welcome by the whole team, they organise your transport welcome you with a wonderful traditional Maldives experience and have some excellent refreshing drinks Naaish our host organised everything from our lunches, dinners to our spectacular Whale shark and Manta trip followed by a great lunch on a deserted island. Naaish organised a beautiful 4 course honeymoon dinner under the stars on the best evening of our stay He ran about after us and even managed to organise getting me 3 football tops delivered from the capital, all Maldives football teams The Island is beautiful and we lived exploring it, snorkeling, kayaking and padel boarding Thank you for everything you have done for us and I hope to see you again in the future
- Penjn (10/5): Lovely resort with lovely staff. - My 6th Maldives resort and so I now know what I like and what I don't. The resort is part of a chain of 5 and so did have a bit more of a "corporate" feel to it than we have been used to but that didn't detract from the service or amenities. There is some building work going on but to be fair it didn't impact us in any great way. We stayed in a water villa all inclusive and were there for 14 nights. Positives: Larger than average villa with a nice spec. like many of the islands they are becoming a little tired but nothing to bother us. Spotlessly clean and cared for by our house keeper Suranga. Food - I'm vegetarian but have never had any issues eating extremely well in the Maldives and Vilu Reef was no different. In fact they had a whole section of plant based foods plus Chef Chaminda cooked special dishes for me and others too and kindly has sent me alot of wonderful recipes via WhatsApp. One big bonus here was that the all inclusive package allowed you to eat in the al la carte as often as you wanted. Staff - wonderful service and super staff. Special mention to Nisha and Sriram in Nautilis bar, Chris in Welldone, Vijay and Shayan in Aqua, Ali and Juri in Spice and Naish our allotted member of staff who makes bookings for you and is your general point of contact. All the staff were wonderful. Trips - the Adventrue Tour out from the water sports team was exceptional and shouldn't be missed if you love snorkelling. The interaction with the nurse sharks was second to none and a memory we will carry. Lovely to see so many more female staff at this resort. This has been improving over the years but was really noticeable here - well done. Negatives: The house reef is not brilliant. If we hadn't been to other resorts Im sure we would have enjoyed it more but sadly it isn't as good as some other Islands. Alot of bleaching. Also due to a recent cyclone in Sri Lanka the wind and current made snorkelling difficult for much of the trip which was a real pain for us as its one of the main reason we go (out of their control obviously). Thankfully the beach by the pool and the pool were sheltered from the worst of the wind. Temp was still high 20s and there was plenty of sun. Children - there were alot more children at the resort than we are used to especially in the last week as Christmas drew nearer. Not an issue for many but again, not what we are used to, even over these two weeks, which we have done before. All in all a lovely resort but the lack of a good house reef was a disappointment.
- onnn2019 (10/5): The Greatest Experience of Our Lifetime!! Best for Honeymoon! - We came to Sun Siyam for our honeymoon and we had the most wonderful time here! We went to Manta Ray adventure and it was just mind blowing seeing the Manta rays and other under water creatures! Huge thanks to Ziyan, the captain and other crew members! Ziyan took us for snorkeling and took videos that were so high quality and professional! This resort has so many corals and tropical fish when snorkeling and we also spotted a few baby sharks! It’s just so unreal under the ocean!! I don't usually enjoy being in the water, nor do I swim, but it was hard for me to get myself out of water here!!! LOL All snorkeling equipment and fins were included with our reservation! We stayed at the lagoon this time, but we also want to stay by the beach next time! The room was clean and cleaning staff, Dilshan, also drew something on the floor which made our day! Even though it was raining quite a bit while we were here, but iwe could still snorkel! But when the storm hit LOL we just had dinner and head to bed early haha Still so memorable and I would recommend to just swim and snorkel whenevet the sun is out!!! The weather changes so quickly over here!! The guy who was cutting the coconut, I wish I remembered his name… Mr. Firmez…? Anyways… he was super friendly even though he spoke little English! All the restaurant staff were nice and friendly- so sad to say bye to Shyan (Shayan..?) who introduced us to so many Maldivian food!! We love the smoked Tuna so much!! LOL Thank you for all the service and food at the Aqua! Last but not least, Huge thanks to our host Naaish, who was super approachable, friendly, and nice! He made our stay so much pleasant by helping us around! Making all the arrangements possible and easy ;) Thank you again!!!
- dastans18 (10/5): Island Paradise - Honestly, we didn’t want to leave. Every day felt like a mix of adventure and total relaxation. One evening we went on the Sunset Dolphin Cruise, and within minutes dolphins were swimming alongside the boat, the kind of moment you can’t plan, only hope for. Another day we tried Sunset Fishing. The biggest surprise for all of us was the Whale Shark and Manta trip. Swimming in open water with these gentle giants was unreal and easily one of the best experiences of our lives. A special thank you to Baasith, our Island Host, who made everything effortless for us. His care, kindness, and attention to detail truly made a difference. We left with incredible memories and would love to return one day.
- 655azamatn (10/5): Highly recommended! - We had an amazing stay at Sun Siyam Vilu Reef with my wife and our friends. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfectly organized and the staff made us feel truly welcome. The Sunset Dolphin Cruise was a beautiful experience, watching dolphins in their natural habitat while enjoying the sunset was unforgettable. We also joined the Sunset Fishing, which was great fun and very well arranged, even for beginners. Dinner at Aqua Restaurant was another highlight. The atmosphere, the food quality, and the service were all excellent, making it a perfect evening to enjoy together. A special thank you to Baasith, our Island Host, who took great care of us throughout our stay. He was always friendly, attentive, and made sure everything went smoothly. We leave with wonderful memories and would highly recommend this resort to couples and groups of friends looking for a relaxing and memorable holiday in the Maldives.
- Penjn (10/5): Lovely resort - Just back from Vilu Reef having spent 14 nights in a water villa all inclusive. The resort, villa, food and staff were all lovely.. This was my 6th different Maldives resort and my only real negative comment of Vilu Reef is that the house Reef really wasn't brilliant. There's alot of bleaching and sadly, due to very strong winds and currents during our stay there wasn't as much marine life as we're used to . As we were there leading up to Christmas there were quite a few children at the resort which was not what we are used to either. I would like to mention some staff members by name. Ali and Juri at Spice, Nisha at Nautilus, Vjay and Shayan at Aqua our house keeper Suranga. Chris at Welldone and Naish who was our nominated member of staff and who made bookings for us and ensured we had a point of contact. I would recommend this resort but not if you are really keen snorkellers. If you do visit then the Adventure Tour is definitely worth doing, the snorkeling that day was amazing, especially the nurse sharks. Its a shame the currents and wind made snorkeling on site very difficult but despite that we did have a great time.
- 818yapingz (10/5): wonderful honey moon - The service on the entire island was excellent. The food at Spice restaurant was delicious. Our English was poor, but the waiters at the restaurant were very friendly and patient, so we kept dining there. We are very grateful to them. The introduction by the housekeeper Summer was very detailed and helped us a lot. During snorkeling on a windy day, the hotel staff reminded us that the waves were too strong under the waterhouse. For safety reasons, those without swimming experience were not advised to swim under the waterhouse. And they kindly stood on the shore to wait for us to get off and guided us to choose a location more suitable for novice snorkelers. Thank you to all the service staff.^_^
- Camper66801899264 (10/5): Excelente Paradise - I would like to leave some wonderful reviews as our stay at Vilu Reef from December 13th to 20th was truly a marvelous collection of comfortable feelings that can be enjoyed in this paradise... Apart from the basic requirements one looks for in this type of location—weather, sea, relaxation—I must highlight the profound respect shown by the service staff in general. They made us feel free and happy every day of our stay. I want to give special mention to our host Naaish, who has given us all the support we've needed while respecting our space... And I mustn't forget the wonderful warmth and kindness we received from the spa staff, especially from our incredibly polite and friendly massage therapists, Anis and Febi. In the food area at Acqua we have been served by Shayan, who has looked after us with unbeatable professionalism and respect every breakfast, lunch or dinner. We also received a lot of kindness from Bhuwan at the Welldone restaurant. Thank you all for making our stay much better than expected
- 627kirillb (10/5): Respect and privacy - The resort was chosen by luck and we are absolutely happy. Small enough but with excellent service, Sun Siyam Vilu Reef gives the atmosphere of privacy and comfort especially in beach villas, separated by small gardens to avoid contact with neighbors. Small lagoon gives perfect space to train your snorkeling and house reef provides wonderful view on various sea life in 10-minutes walk by the beach. Food was very delicious, not only in a la carte Welldone restaurant but at everyday buffet dinner too (special thanks to the Chef Chaminda). Snorkeling safari by the boat was well organized and interesting, we visited 2 reefs and were lucky to see two sea turtles which was definitely luck. We would like to personally mention the excellent housekeeping service by Suhag, restaurant service by Shayan and of course our host Reema for the unforgettable stay. Maldives as we expected them. Highly recommended.
- amitap272 (10/5): Wonderful Hospitality at Sun Siyam Vilu Reef - We had a very enjoyable stay at Sun Siyam Vilu Reef Maldives, where the service and overall atmosphere were excellent. The resort is beautifully maintained and provides a truly relaxing holiday experience. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to our host Baasith for his professionalism, attentiveness, and support throughout our stay. We also extend our thanks to Shayan and Rita at the Aqua Restaurant, who consistently welcomed us with warmth and provided friendly, efficient service. Overall, our vacation was memorable and well-organized, and we would gladly recommend this resort to anyone seeking a peaceful and high-quality Maldives getaway. Amita & Girish Pai

- Hottoddie60 (10/5): 11 Nights in a little bit of Paradise. - Great location, fabulous resort, with direct access to the lagoon from our villa .The main restaurant , bar and outdoor pool were just a short walk along the boardwalk, The staff make sure you want for nothing, everyone is genuinely happy and helpful. Our private infinity pool was our daily go to , after a healthy breakfast at “The Aqua” . Special thanks to Imran,Rita,Asmita and Shyam who made us feel like family . The beaches are a beautiful white against the azure blue of the surrounding lagoon and the ocean. Another daily go to was “The Nautilus Bar” for what became a compulsory sundowner or 2 . Ashrof and his team make sure your glass stays full , wouldn’t want to get dehydrated. Make sure and try out some of the water sports trips/tours , sunset fishing what you catch is cooked to perfection for lunch or dinner the next day . We were lucky enough to see dolphins performing and playing in their native environment. Swam with nurse sharks, turtles and uncountable tropical fish . More special thanks to the water sports team , including Adam and Riffie . All in all fabulous,fantastic, sorry I couldn’t name all of the staff ,again THANK YOU ALL .
- thomaskD6224QI (10/5): Vacation at vilureef - Had a great time and Naaish our host full filled what We asked for. Rahmatulla did the room on great level and we had a really wonderful time
- xianglongj2025 (10/5): A truly wonderful honeymoon experience - My experience was excellent. This was a successful choice for a honeymoon vacation. The housekeeper Summer was very considerate, Babul, who did the cleaning, was very meticulous, and every staff member on the island was very friendly. I would like to thank all the staff. For my next vacation, I will still choose Vilu Reef.
- michalm534 (10/5): Really nice experience with coral reef nearby - It was my second visit of this resort and it was,same as before,really nice stay. I would like to highlight the service and support of our butler Thathi
- Ramon_GG1990 (10/5): A short trip to the paradise - We had a short but very nice stay. The hotel is top organized and everyone is super friendly. the transfer to the hotel goes very smoothly. The beach is very clean and super nice for swimming. The food was always very tasty, we especially loved the tradional food. The resort is beautiful and also offers some nice activities. our room cleaning was exellent, many thanks to sadhi (room 407) he was very friendly and did a very good job. we loved the spice restaurant, also many thanks to Ali for the nice service and of course a big thank u to Zidh for the nice hosting.
- A8918PN_ (10/5): The best place in all of paradise 🤍 - We chose Sun Siyam Vilu Reef for our honeymoon and couldn’t be more pleased with our decision! The resort is idyllic, offering stunning views and spacious, luxurious villas. The staff are incredibly kind, with Zidh taking exceptional care of us. He arranged a wonderful dinner to celebrate our honeymoon and prepared the best in-villa breakfast we’ve ever experienced! Sabiul ensured our villa was always immaculate and well-stocked with everything we needed during our stay. The highlight of our visit was Chef Chaminda! He showed genuine interest in us, crafting special dinners that were simply extraordinary. His Sicilian fish recipe was the best we’ve ever tasted, and we absolutely adored his pineapple curry. He was always eager to prepare anything we desired and even shared the recipes for his incredible dishes. Dinner was my favorite part of the day, all thanks to him.🤍 On our final night, we enjoyed a celebratory dinner prepared by Chef Pauld, which was exceptional! Every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. Thanks to everyone at the resort, we had an unforgettable time and celebration. We’ve never experienced such hospitality, and there’s something truly special about this place and its staff. We loved it so much that we will definitely return because of these amazing people!❤️
- nikolettap25 (10/5): Second time in paradise - This was our second visit to the island, and once again it was the people who made it truly special. Chef Chaminda impressed us with his professionalism and quiet dedication, always creating a warm dining atmosphere. Our island representative Zidh was friendly, helpful and easy to communicate with, making everything feel smooth and well organized. At the bar, Ashrof was consistently kind and attentive, while at the restaurant Shayan offered polite and thoughtful service. The facilities are well cared for and comfortable, creating a setting where the warmth and professionalism of the staff truly stand out. Everyone we met was genuinely welcoming, and returning for a second time only confirmed how much the staff care about their guests and the atmosphere they create.
- 344bakytzhanb (10/5): Habib is an outstanding guy - We stayed in Villa 121 from December 14 to December 21, 2025. The cleanliness of our villa was taken care of by the wonderful staff member, Habib, who did an outstanding job. It so happened that during these days we were celebrating both our honeymoon and my wife’s birthday, which made our stay even more special. We were absolutely delighted with everything — the beautiful festive decorations of the villa, the impeccable cleanliness, and the warm, cozy atmosphere. This stay exceeded our expectations and left us with the most heartfelt and joyful memories. Thank you for making such important moments in our lives truly unforgettable 👍🙏
- whu64t (10/5): Amazing Holiday - Just returned from an amazing two weeks at Sun Siyam Villu Reef - Transfer From what appeared a very busy chaotic airport, Sun Siyam reps took great care of us checking us in for seaplane & transporting to lounge, where there were refreshments & a free 15 min massage. Unfortunately we had to wait 4 hrs for our seaplane, due to it raining - Arrival Great welcome with drums & fanfare, cool towel & welcome drink with your guest service rep. Luggage was already at room. We stayed in a sunset water villa, well equipped mini bar (beers, soft drinks & wine) toiletries inc Colgate toothpaste. Life jackets, fly spray, beach bag, flip flops & robes - Resort The island is small & due to the building work you can no longer walk around it (we could the first few days. - so maybe temporary). Reef side they have a lagoon, this was our favourite place to sunbathe but the sand is coarse (crushed shells & coral from the sea). I had to wear flip flops this side The other side (swimming pool) the sand was much powdery. Few sunbeds around the pool & on the beach. I think most people sunbathed at / by their villa, where you all had your own sunbeds - Bars Positive Energy by the pool - SABINA, NISHA & JURI were amazing & looked after us filling our “bubba” cups with soft drinks. They offered drink service round the pool. Afternoon tea at 3pm, although we never had this. Nauticus bar - beautiful decor, sand floors. Decking looking out at the beautiful turquoise sea with day beds, beanbags & overwater hammocks - our favourite place for a pre lunchtime cocktail. ASHFORTH & RUNDITH looked after us very well & kept our drinks topped up. Yes you could see the construction work. It has progressed well & most have their roofs on, so look like water villa’s. Quite interesting watching the work & the numerous delivery boats to the jetty bringing goods to the island. This was our favourite bar at night. Entertainment from music, Maldivian show. DJ VICTORIA & crab racing was the best - Food We normally go to hotels with several restaurants so I was apprehensive about SSVR only having 2 Alacarte & a buffet. We needn't have worried. Spice was Italian by day, do book it gets very busy with an extensive menu. Indian by night - ask for anything you might fancy that’s not on the menu. Chef MISTEE was fabulous at adapting to our requests. My husband had spicy prawn curry & I had a korma. REDDY & VJ were fabulous, attentive & good banter. Well done. Lunchtime menu rotates & was nice. Evening meal lovely & would accommodate any request. They took the ravioli off the menu but cooked it for me one night. RAM made me one of his rainbow cocktail specialities without even asking & CHRIS always had the biggest smile when serving you. Buffet - I don’t like buffets, but this was amazing. Theme nights. You must go to the Maldivian night. IMHRAN surprised me many mornings with avocado & smoked salmon after learning it was my favourite & the fruit platters bought to us by SHAYAN & ALI were divine. Chef CHAMINDA was a genius with his culinary skills. Curried pineapple, pumpkin curry & Sri Lankan curry were fabulous. He also gave me the recipes to try at home & some pandan leaves. MOZAMEL makes all the sorbets & ice-creams from scratch & when he knew pineapple was my favourite, a bowl was waiting the next night - Activities We were worried that we would be bored on such a small island. We were the most active we’ve ever been. Kayaking, floating breakfast, snorkelling, massages, Dolphin cruise (we saw lots) & jetski car all added to the fun - Snorkelling I’m not keen on snorkelling, but tried it several times in close proximity of the Island. The best reef in my opinion was by the construction site - reef 1 & in front of the Nauticus bar. The current was strong at times & a bit cloudy but this was due to the weather. We did however see the occasional floating lumps of wood, plastic gloves & other debris. I can only assume this may have come from the building site - so not sure if the hotel can do some cleansing of the area (appreciate the sea is vast) - Staff As mentioned in my reviews (& there are many many more who I could have listed), the staff are absolutely what makes this resort a 5 star. They can’t do enough for you, they treat you as you are the most important person there & they are so conscientious. They share their life, culture & history with you. Don’t forget these wonderful people sacrifice being away from their own families to serve & care for us. They really are the "heart" of SSVR Summary I know why people keep returning to this gem of an island. It really is intimate, exclusive & a boutique of a hotel. The staff make it special - It really was paradise & we can’t wait to return
- filippopX405YQ (10/5): Best time ever! Amazing resort! - We spent our honeymoon in Sun Siyam Vilu Reef and it was the best time ever. Obviously the atoll is amazing by itself and on top of that an amazing staff helped as to arrange every little moment. A special thanks goes to our caring host Naaish and our room attendant Babul with his amazing bed decorations made by palm leaves. Everyone was so kind. We will definitely go back to Maldives one day and we'llchose the same atoll. Best experience ever!!
- roundy72 (10/5): Amazing unforgettable Sun Siyam - the staff were amazing, throughout and in every area, helpful, polite and genuine. Food was of a very high standard both the buffet restaurant and Well Done and The Spice ( both were high quality fine dining experiences. Lots of personal touchs and interest from staff. Naaish embodied this, in touch every day, always helpful with any issues. The breakfast staff were great too and the Sri Lankan Food and Bev Manager went out of his way to check on us. The Grand Villa room with pool was amazing, private, well appointed and allowed for some incredible snorkelling including Reef Sharks and Rays right outside the front door!
- Hognore (10/5): Sun Siyam Vilu Reef - Perfect Holiday Destination! - Fabulous holiday! The resort is beautifully clean with the most friendly and attentive staff you could wish for. The rooms are perfect - we had a water villa and this was amazing. The food was exceptional - so much choice. Although there are 2 restaurants where you can pre book a table, the buffet restaurant was just as good with its huge selection of dishes for all tastes. The sunset dolphin trip was fantastic - we spotted lots of spinner dolphins and flying fish. The whale shark and manta ray snorkelling day out was great, although tiring. The food in board the day trip was fab too. Overall couldn’t fault our holiday. It’s our 2nd holiday with Sun Siyam and we’d say they definitely know how to look after their guests from the day you arrive to the day you leave!!! 5 Stars!!
- adriangA3983LP (10/5): Just great! - Naaish, who took care of us was very very kind, helpful and profesional. Thanks to him we have had really good time at Sun Siyam Vilu reef during our stay. We would recommend Naaish and resort Sun Siaym for all who are looking for great and luxury vacation👍♥️🌞Our thanks are going to kitchen as well, guys you were great👍👍👍👍
- D3504YFchrisb (10/5): Maldives getaway - Beautiful quiet location set in crystal clear coral seas. We stayed in an over -sea cabin with pool, it was spacious with all the amenities you need. It was an unforgettable experience. The stunning views of the ocean, combined with the luxury of having a private pool right outside our door, and direct access to the water, made for a perfect getaway where we could relax and enjoy the serene surroundings . It was a unique and luxurious experience, an unforgettable getaway. The staff were very helpful, friendly and nothing was too much for them. A special mention for our room attendants Samooh and his colleague, they were outstanding, our room was cleaned several times a day. Restaurant and catering staff were all amazing but a special note for Rita and Shauna. Not forgetting the Head Chef and Mr. Simaal our island host. The best apple pie I had . Our only complaint would be the wait on arrival in Male for the seaplane transfer to Sun Siyam. Although they did provide a more than adequate lounge the wait of over 4 hours was tiring. Overall a fantastic peaceful experience we will endeavour to return.
- N375FOdebbieb (10/5): Sun Siyam Vilu Reef – beyond anything we could have dreamed of - From the moment we arrived at Sun Siyam Vilu Reef, it felt like stepping into a version of paradise that actually delivers. The resort is absolutely heavenly — peaceful, beautifully laid out, never overcrowded, and immaculate in every detail. We were able to enjoy genuine privacy on the beach and in the bars, which made the whole experience feel calm, luxurious, and deeply restorative. The food is outstanding, with huge variety and exceptional quality throughout our stay. What impressed us most was how genuinely inclusive the dining was. I’m vegetarian with my own quirks, and my husband is very much a meat-and-chips kind of guy — and somehow they catered beautifully for both of us, every single day, without either of us feeling limited or awkward. That takes real thought and skill. Chiminda (Chef) deserves special mention. He went above and beyond, cooking things that weren’t even on the menu, adapting dishes effortlessly, and making sure we were always fed well and with care. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and his pride in his food really showed. The restaurant and bar staff are simply wonderful: • Imran, our waiter, was funny, warm, and incredibly engaging. His coconut oil workshop was not only enjoyable but genuinely educational. • Vijay, a young waiter with endless creativity and humour, brought so much joy to our days — friendly, thoughtful, and always smiling. • Ram, at the Well Done restaurant, was absolutely hilarious and made sure menu items were adapted so we could enjoy the full experience. • The bar team were fantastic — one gentleman (whose name we didn’t catch) was brilliant at pool and such a joy to chat with. • A special shout-out to the security gentleman who often goes unmentioned — he was great to talk to and shared fascinating information about the sharks around the island. Behind it all is Nitin, Head of Restaurants — a truly world-class leader. You can immediately see how proud he is of his team and the high standards he upholds. Our host, Aminath, was an absolute gem. Always available on WhatsApp, endlessly helpful, kind, and genuinely lovely. She made everything feel easy and personal. And then there is Sahib, our room attendant — who honestly deserves his own paragraph. I have no words for how epic this man is. Every day he greeted us with warmth and joy, created beautiful leaf art on the bed, and took such pride in making our villa perfect. He was thoughtful, friendly, and completely outstanding. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary, and the resort made it unforgettable — cake and wine in our room, and a tree planted in our honour with a memory sign. It was deeply touching and something we will always remember. The experiences included in the all-inclusive package are exceptional. The dolphin cruise was completely out of this world — loads of dolphins, a long relaxed cruise, and the most beautiful sunset to finish. Snorkelling is incredible, with a stunning house reef and the option to go further out. You can watch fish swimming past while having breakfast, see the crabs emerge at dusk during dinner, and then watch the sharks and rays come out at night — absolutely magical. Evenings offer something for every mood. There’s music most nights, with the choice to stay chilled in the restaurant areas or be a bit livelier in the bar. One personal highlight was a DJ night playing 90s–2000s dance bangers — listening to those classics while lying on a Bali bed over the water with cocktails felt like Ibiza for us oldies (in the best possible way). The spa deserves a special mention — Eddie gave an outstanding massage that genuinely made me feel like I was floating. Watersports are excellent too, with plenty included in the package. Even when the tropical rain rolls in, it’s beautiful rather than disruptive — there is always something to do, whatever the weather. The resort is exceptionally clean, beautifully maintained, and every single member of staff greets you with a genuine smile. Nothing feels forced — just authentic warmth and care. This experience was beyond anything we could have dreamed of. Sun Siyam Vilu Reef isn’t just a holiday — it’s a place that stays with you. We will absolutely return. Thank you to every single person who made our stay so special. You are extraordinary.
- giuseppev1 (10/5): Tenth time in the Maldives at Sun Syam Vilu Reef. - Resort very beautiful.I was in a reef villa and the view is gorgeous. The villa is very comfortable, spacious, clean with all amenities. I was followed during my stay by Naaish.He has been very polite, professional and taok care af all my needs. The cousine is at a very good level .
- saadiak246 (10/5): Highly recommend. Amazing resort - We stayed at the Sun Siyam Villu Reef resort for 7 nights in November. Everything about the stay from arrival and greeting at Velana International Airport in Malé to the final goodbye at the resort and seaplane back to the capital was amazing. The seaplane journeys (45-50mins) were wonderful and allowed us to see the Maldives with beautiful built up and more secluded islands. The greeting at the resort was exciting and the coconut water was refreshing and just what we needed. The resort is stunning, a proper paradise. We were in a Water villa for two nights and in a Beach Villa with private pool for the rest. Both villas were well appointed, stocked and maintained. Having a private pool allowed us to swim whenever we wanted without worry especially as we are novice swimmers. The sea was wonderfully warm and shallow which meant we could walk out quite far and watch the fish while bobbing in the water. Our island host was attentive without being overbearing. All the resort staff from the maintenance, the staff in the spa to the wonderful staff in the restaurants especially Aqua were super helpful, attentive and friendly. I cannot recommend Sun Siyam Vilu Reef highly enough and hopefully we will be able to return to the resort in the future.
- weiyund2025 (10/5): A wonderful trip with Vilureef - We had such a wonderful experience in the Maldives. We were lucky enough to see dolphins jumping across the Indian Ocean, and while snorkeling we enjoyed watching vibrant, colorful fish weaving through the corals. Summer’s thoughtful and attentive service made our stay even better — she helped us adjust our activity schedule based on our needs and even assisted us in choosing the perfect room. We’re truly satisfied and grateful. Thank you!
- B7523YJkathyl (10/5): Wonderful holiday! - We have seen the beautiful rainbow two times in one day! So many colorful fishes , corals and a big turtle in the snokling experience. We also saw dolphins and flying fish in sunset cruise. We like have the lunch in the Spice restaurant, so many delicious pastas and pizzas to choose. The lovely girl Summer organized every activity for us, just wonderful! We will visit maldive again for sure.
- h0ngta0t (10/5): Our holiday at Vilu Reef was an unforgettable dream - Our family's first trip to the Maldives was absolutely magical, and Vilu Reef made it perfect for everyone, from the adults to the kids. It's hard to know where to start… The resort is stunning, set in an incredible location with the most breathtaking views of the lagoon. It was immaculately clean, spacious, and wonderfully welcoming for a family stay. Every single member of the staff deserves praise. They were universally kind, patient, and attentive to our children. The teams at Aqua Restaurant, The Spice, and the Nautilus Bar were fantastic—always professional and yet so warm, making every meal a delight. The Energy Bar was a lifesaver with our little ones! A special thank you to the brilliant teams at the Squba Dive Center and Sport Center. They were incredibly friendly and professional, organizing activities that were both safe and fun for all ages. The snorkeling excursions we did with them were true highlights we will never forget. However, we must give our biggest, most heartfelt thank you to our wonderful Island Host, SUMMER. She was simply amazing—kind, helpful, endlessly patient with our questions and schedule, and utterly professional. Summer was there for our family every step of the way, helping with everything we needed. Thank you so much, Summer! We also have to mention the incredible dining experience at the "Well Done" Restaurant. DILSHAD and DIPU were exceptional. They were always smiling, so kind to our children, and made time to chat with us even during the busiest moments. They truly went above and beyond. Our holiday at Vilu Reef was an unforgettable dream for our entire family. We created the most precious memories here and sincerely hope to return one day to see all these wonderful people again. Thank you for everything!
- 866duncang (10/5): Honeymoon at Velu Reef - Had a lovely time a Velu Reef on our honeymoon. We had a water villa with its own pool and sunset views, absolutely beautiful. The food in each of the three restaurants was first class and the service from all of the staff impeccable friendly and attentive. Our honeymoon was acknowledged by was of wonderful meals on the beach and a floating breakfast on our pool. Special shout out to Fardous our villa attendant who did a great job as well as being friendly and helpful. His palm leaf art he left on the bed was both varied and amazing! My only gripe was the exorbitant cost of the excursions $500 per head (after 27%tax) for a boat trip to see the whale sharks and manta rays means $1000 for a day trip. Excessive!
- 768zijingc (10/5): Everything is the best. Looking forward to seeing you next time. - I'm very happy to be here. The scenery is beautiful. Thanks to our housekeeper, summer, for changing the room with a swimming pool for us to have a better honeymoon.
- haibeiz2025 (10/5): a perfect honeymoon trip - An absolutely fantastic trip! We enjoyed the perfect honeymoon here. All the staff on the island are incredibly friendly. Summer is very responsible, responding to messages timely，providing detailed activity recommendations and arranging everything for us. Digagan and the chef who served our honeymoon dinner are also wonderful, and Digagan‘s photography skills is outstanding. The guy who makes the omelets at Aqua Restaurant is also really nice(sorry, I don't get his name) and always greeted us with a smile. He and Digagan can even speak a little Chinese.Shayan in the Aqua is also very friendly. We really enjoyed a good time in the Aqua. The tall and big server at the Welldone Restaurant is also excellent. The fishing trip was also quite enjoyable, and everyone provided excellent service. The diving Safari was my first time, and I'm very grateful to the guide for taking photos for us. The housekeeping staff are also fantastic—every time I return to my room, it's spotless, which puts me in a great mood. Overall, we were completely satisfied! *Special thanks to the cat staff Bubu—she is so cute and polite! Wishing her health and happiness！
- Voyage152175 (10/5): P&T trip - Sun Siyam Vilu Reef - AMAZING - this resort is island paradise! We had s wonderful time on our trip - resort facilities, services, food and staff were all superb and went above and beyond at all times. We will be back!
- 289sammyt (10/5): Honeymoon Bliss - After many hours of scrolling, comparing, and overthinking (classic honeymoon prep!), we finally chose Sun Siyam Vilu Reef—and honestly, it couldn’t have been a better match for us. The mix of restaurants, activities, water sports, and excursions had everything we wanted. We split our stay with 4 nights in an overwater villa and 8 nights in a beach villa, which made for a perfect combo. What completely won us over: The snorkelling was unreal—so many colourful fish we lost count. We got strangely competitive at badminton, tried paddle boarding for the first time (10/10 would wobble again) and basically spent every day pinching ourselves at the scenery. The food was consistently delicious, plates were basically licked clean with every meal, and we never got tired of the views. The staff deserve their own paragraph because they made the trip unforgettable. Babul, our housekeeper, kept our villa spotless and greeted us every day with the warmest smile. Reddy in the restaurant was full of energy and always made us laugh. Our host Baasith was genuinely lovely—helpful, kind, and funny. And Ali the waiter, looked after us so well. But honestly every single one of them was wonderful—from gardeners, and maintenance staff to breakfast hosts to bar staff, every single one would stop to smile and give a friendly “hello”. The friendliness of the entire team made the whole island feel like home. If we could add a few things: The motorised water sports prices were quite high, and because of that we rarely saw anyone using them—which feels like such a waste in a place this stunning! Lower prices would definitely get more people out on the ocean. The same can be said for the cost of excursions - it just seems a shame not more people are enjoying these experiences. We also think a beach BBQ restaurant would be a brilliant addition—after nearly two weeks, a new dining option would have been perfect as, although delicious, it did get a little bit repetitive. And on quieter evenings, we would’ve loved more board games available. Nothing like a bit of Scrabble or Monopoly to spark some friendly rivalry! All in all, Vilu Reef was the honeymoon of dreams. Beautiful island, amazing staff, gorgeous villas, and memories we’ll be talking about forever. We’d go back in a heartbeat—and will probably spend the next year trying to figure out how to make that happen! 🌅💖
- yvonnesR5862UG (10/5): Excellent! Highly recommended - I absolutely love this resort. I’m here now for the 4th time and honestly, it feels like coming home every single time. The staff welcomes us like family — not in a fake way, but truly from the heart. You can feel they actually enjoy working here and that they’re doing an excellent job because they want to, not because they have to. The food is always perfect, the rooms super clean, the views… just wow. Beautiful reef as well. And every time we come, they have something new for us — a fishing trip, a private dinner on the beach, fun karaoke nights, jetski adventures, snorkel trip with sharks and turtles… they always surprise us with something special. What I really love: they somehow always sense what you need without you even asking. It’s those little things that make such a big difference. Also, the spa and massage were amazing - super relaxing and exactly what I needed. I will come back for sure :)
- Claire692258 (10/5): What a wonderful place - Unfortunately I only had 8 nights here - truly not long enough in this paradise. First time visit to Maldives and I think I hit the jackpot with this resort. Its beautiful, clean and so well kept. My overwater villa was kept spotlessly clean. I loved the big bath and huge shower. Unlimited and constantly good WiFi all over the resort. Talking of cleaning - one day I was surprised to find a lovely gentleman cleaning my steps into the lagoon - under the water too !!! Food was excellent. Aqua, the buffet restaurant was exceptional but it was the staff that made it for me. Inram was always there, always asking how I was, what I'd done and literally it felt so caring. The trips I did were great - swimming with sharks was scary but mind blowing. I loved the dolphin cruise - so many dolphins. I thought the trips were expensive but we're here in the Maldives so expected that. The staff on the boats were fabulous especially the guy who held my hand searching for turtles - strong current and not strong swimmer. I didn't catch his name but he made my trip that day. Naaish was my point of contact. He was great. Always there when needed in person or via WhatsApp. Nothing was too much trouble for him and again, its personal service like that which makes you want to return and I most definitely will. Overall, a wonderful time was had. It was just too short - need to return. Thank you all. Your home from home is my new favourite fly and flop destination. Its a 10 hr flight from UK but worth it. If I could ask for one thing ..... Tea and coffee is available in the room. Could we have a couple of biscuits each day too !?
- 475vitorm (10/5): Great Great Experience - Great great experience! The resort is very confortable, cosy, and has a deep personnality, not like other more recent generic decour. People are great, from our host Naaish, to Acqua Restaurant staff: Rita, Asmita, Hasan, Vijay, Ali, Sagar, and many others, the area chefs where very polite. Food was very balanced, and localy prepared, not frozen type, similar to anywhere resort and also waste conscious. The resort felt like it was changing, rebranding, and renewing, but it didnt bother me at all! New water villas are being built. Just cant wait! Lastly, since we came to rest it was very nice not to be bothered to do this or that, or to go on trip. Staff was really respectful of our space. Also loved the Male lounge before the seaplane.It was our fourth time in the Maldives. I recommend it!
- Camper35703184498 (10/5): Just Fantastic - We love Vilu Reef! Amazing experience. We had the most wonderful time. Brilliant facilities and superb customer service. Thanks to Naaish for such excellent service.
- Vla_K81 (10/5): Our 7th Visit – And It Only Gets Better! A Second Home in Paradise - It’s hard to put into words what Sun Siyam Vilu Reef means to us. This was already our seventh visit, and somehow the island continues to surprise us, warm our hearts, and remind us why we keep coming back. Vilu Reef isn’t just a holiday destination anymore — it’s our second home, and the people here feel like family. A Resort That Gets More Beautiful Every Year The moment we stepped off the boat, we felt that familiar Maldivian welcome that only Vilu Reef can offer. The island is stunningly maintained — from the lush pathways to the pristine beaches and vibrant lagoon that still takes our breath away. Every sunrise and sunset here feels like a personal gift. We spent so much time snorkeling, swimming, and simply enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of the island. The lagoon is perfect for relaxing, but also incredible for trying new activities. The watersports center is fantastic — super friendly, professional, and always ready to help. We loved everything from paddleboarding to kyaking, and of course the absolute highlight: The Jetcar! The Jetcar — a Rolls Royce–inspired superboat — was one of the most unforgettable experiences of the whole trip. It’s fast, stylish, fun, and something you simply cannot miss. We enjoyed it enormously and it made us feel like movie stars speeding over the turquoise water. Food That Is Pure Happiness The food across the resort keeps getting better and better. Every meal was a delight — fresh, flavorful, beautifully prepared. A huge thank-you to Kushal at Spice, whose dishes are true masterpieces. Some evenings we caught ourselves already thinking about what he might prepare the next day. People Who Make This Island a Home What truly makes Vilu Reef exceptional is the team. After seven visits, they aren’t staff to us — they are family, and we come back mainly because of them. At the restaurants and bars, we want to give special thanks to: Akram, Jabir, Praveen, Younus, Azizah, Bhawdeep, and Poonam – they make every breakfast, lunch and dinner personal, and joyful. Nittin, Tharinda, and Niyaaf – always attentive, kind, and incredibly professional. The amazing bar team: Chris, Thushara, and Shakeer – always smiling, always friendly, always ready with a drink or a joke that brightens the day. And a huge appreciation to: Baboul – whose room service is absolutely impeccable. He keeps everything spotless with precision and genuine care. Coming back to a perfectly organized room thanks to him is always a pleasure. The Heart of the Island – Thoha We cannot write about Vilu Reef without mentioning Thoha, the General Manager. He is the true soul of the island — a leader who is respected, admired, and loved by everyone. You can feel his influence in every detail of the resort: the atmosphere, the warmth, the smooth operation, the happiness of the team. He is the “chief of chiefs,” and yet humble, friendly, and always ready to stop for a chat. His presence is a big reason why Vilu Reef feels like home. Counting the Days Until Our Return After seven visits, Vilu Reef is still the paradise we fell in love with — maybe even more. Every stay reminds us of why this island is so special: the beauty, the food, the experiences, and most importantly, the people. We are already counting the days until our next stay — see you again in May!
- 793martinm (10/5): Magical island paradise - We had an amazing holiday at Sun Siyam Vilu Reef. It was our first visit to the Maldives and hopefully it will not be our last. It was a totally relaxing and chilled holiday, the accommodation (Grand Water Villa) was luxurious and spacious, the food was the best we’ve ever had at an all-inclusive resort but by far the best part of the holiday were the staff who seemed to go out of their way to ensure that all guests have the best experience. We tried all of the restaurants and although the food was excellent in all 3 establishments, our favourites was the Spice, which served exceptional curries. We also treated ourselves to the Thali dinner which was amazing. We also booked to go on the Whale Shark and Manta Ray safari and were fortunate enough to see both these shy and majestic creatures. We were also lucky to witness a pod of over 25 dolphins.
- fangchung (10/5): It's a great experience - The room is very clean, and I come to clean it many times every day. The service of the housekeeper is very good! The housekeeper is highly praised! Very efficient Snorkeling at sea is very fun!! The crew also took me to the most beautiful waters to see the fish, and the overall feeling was perfect!!! In the evening, there are also great singers performing on the beach. The hotel service is great, and everyone is warm and friendly.
- 732kuangz (10/5): grateful - The housekeeping services were excellent! Summer the housekeeper received rave reviews! She was extremely efficient. The snorkeling activity at sea was incredibly enjoyable! From the moment you step out of your beachfront villa, you can see the most stunning waters and observe schools of fish. Overall, the experience was perfect! The hotel’s service was outstanding, and all the staff were warm and friendly.
- christinejP63CO (10/5): Best vacation ever - The best vacation we ever been on. We stayed in a deluxe beach villa. Always very clean and neat. The food was great at all restaurants. Everyone was very serviceminded and nice. Especially Naaish, Vijay, Ranjith, Nisha, Habib and everyone else we don’t remember the name of.
- Explorer786914 (10/5): Wonderful - An absolutely magnificent experience. The resort is wonderful, the facilities are well-maintained, impeccably cleaned and done several times a day. The restaurants and bars are excellent. A sincere thank you to all the staff; they were always extremely kind and available to accommodate our every request. Without taking anything away from the others, a special thanks goes to Zidh, who was our point of reference throughout our stay, and to Vijay, Rita, and Asmita, who welcomed us every day with a smile. I sincerely recommend choosing this resort for a trip to the Maldives.
- R1985IAdavel (10/5): Excellent place to visit - Beautiful resort, on arrival we were greeted by our island Host, Naaish, who looked after us for our entire stay, he done absolutely everything we asked from him and more, always going above and beyond. All the staff on the island were very polite and respectful, too many to name individually, they also keep the island spotless. There are enough activities and trips to keep you occupied, along with the great choice of food.
- V6206DHmikep (10/5): Amazing place - We had the best time, the staff were amazing, very attentive and will do anything for you. Particularly Rajita in the nautalis bar, Shayam, Asmita and Rita in Aqua and Yuri in the pool bar who have all been outstanding. Despite the weather we would recommend this holiday and island to anyone xxx
- rusland947 (10/5): 9 days in tropical paradise - We had an amazing stay at Sun Siyam Vilu Reef, and we really want to thank the wonderful people who made our holiday unforgettable. First of all, Reema, our host, was fantastic — always helpful, always smiling, and ready to assist with anything we needed. Rahmatulla, our cleaner, did an excellent job every single day and kept our villa spotless. We truly appreciated his hard work. At the AQUA Restaurant, the whole team was simply great. Huge thanks to Rita, Asmita, Imran, Amaan, Vijay, Shayant, Sagar and Zayanb - they always made us feel welcomed and cared for. Special thanks to cook Ramzee for his great seafood grills and morning omelette 😋. The Pool Bar team — Nisha and Bawantan (bp) and at the Nautilus Bar, Ranjith, Ashraf, Digajan, and Sarun were super friendly and always created arelaxing atmosphere . At WELL DONE Restaurant, Praveen gave us amazing service and made the our dining experience even better. Overall, Sun Siyam Vilu Reef is a perfect place for both couples and families. The island is beautiful, the food is great, and the staff make you feel truly special. We definitely recommend this resort and would love to come back again!
- Per_Sisters (10/5): addicted to Sun Siyam Vilu Reef - paradise found - We(two sisters) are honoured to celebrate our 20th visit here at Sun Siyam Vilu Reef(SSVR). Because we are coming back again and again, you can imagine that we fell in love with this beautiful, unique, heart touching paradise. Maldives are one of the most popular places you can travel to, so it is even more important to explain why SSVR is the one and only option for us. We came here first long time ago but we knew from beginning on, we will come back as long as it is possible for us, because on Vilu Reef a special vibe exists. This vibe catched us 2006! since that we met loads of other repeaters who experience the same 😉 With Sun Siyam celebrating 35 years of true Maldivian spirit, a new era and a new look was announced. Now SSVR is part of the Privé collection. This collection stands for playful and peaceful! Every time we feel soo blessed again that we can come ‘home’ At SSVR loads of updates are already done. Nautilus bar was renewed and looks fantastic in the new design. Same for Positive Energy (Pool Bar) and the Aqua (main restaurant) Construction work is currently still actioned. We are regularly walking around the island, yes you can see that bigger changes are ongoing (new water bungalows get build, some beach bungalows get updated with own pools) and we can tell that we never felt disturbed by it. Neither on the room (we are staying close to water sports) nor on the beach. When we arrived this year (Mid. of Nov 25) we saw the changes and we felt that SSVR was always meant for those changes. It is not done yet, but it harmonises and feels as part of the island already now. You are reading this because you want to know what to expect when you are on SSVR, currently you cannot walk around the whole island on the beach , for some areas you need to go inside, because of some work Let us be clear again, for us this is not impacting our stay at all! All areas are very clean, so that we are not wearing shoes for the whole stay. All team members are aiming to make the stay stunning and special for guests The whole team is very obliging, they make you feel like a super star but they never go on and on. Regardless what you are looking for, just talk to your Island host or directly to the individual teams. We are sure they will do their best to help. All available restaurants are very delicious and you can address special needs (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free …) with them. Our biggest recommendation is to try for you new dishes, we got very often already surprised and found so some of our favourites To get back to the new SSVR era, new Signature Experiences are available and we love them all. We will not tell you more about it, because we do not want to take you those surprises! lets make it short: we are addicted to SSVR, we love our SSVR family and we must recommend you this very special place on earth!
- Discover37434408231 (10/5): Beautiful time in this excellent hotel with lovely surroundings of blue water ! - We had a wonderful stay at this super cute hotel in a beautiful , small , quiet island . The surroundings were absolutely lovely! We stayed in both the beach villa with a pool from laguna side and the water villa with a big pool. Both were fantastic and had their own unique advantages — it’s honestly hard to say which one was better. A special thank-you to our amazing host, Summer. She was always helpful, kind, and truly made our stay unforgettable. We were also delighted to receive a complimentary room upgrade, which made our experience even better! The food was excellent, and the service throughout the hotel was outstanding. Big thanks as well to Sahib for the room cleaning and the nice surprises — we appreciated it so much! There is also a beautiful reef right by the hotel, perfect for snorkeling, and an on-site diving center for those who want to explore even more underwater adventures. Highly recommend this place! 💛🌴

- pinscher9 (10/5): a teste of paradise ! - Wonderful experience ! Resort was awesome and all the staff was real 100% ! A special mention goes to the Chef @chamindachinnamon and the guys Imran and Veejay !
- kelty39 (10/5): Beautiful resort with the most amazing staff - This was a trip to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and it didn’t disappoint. The resort is beautiful albeit the building work for the new water bungalows was the only disappointment. We were in room 116 and were looked after amazingly by Habib- nothing was too much trouble for him and he was always happy and smiling. The decoration in our bedroom was also much appreciated. The restaurants were all excellent, and the staff were so attentive and friendly; particularly Imran, Vijay, and Rita in Aqua who always looked out for us. We have never been so well looked after- I would highly recommend a visit!
- 74clairesaunders (10/5): Fabulous island - We have had a wonderful holiday here at the Sun Siyam Vilu Reef. Even though we were not able to get here on our first night due to delayed flight everything and everyone has exceeded our expectations. We stayed in room 118 and Habib has kept our room immaculate and we have had everything we need. The staff at the bars, and restaurants have been outstanding we have been looked after by Vijay, Iran just to name a few could go on and on. Food in all restaurants has been fabulous, choice of meals too many to mention, drinks have all be wonderful. Will return at some point in the future and look forward to returning
