We had a silver studio room, on the first floor - very nice, quiet, clean and spacious. Modern and stylish design, everything looking sharp. Vanity kits would be replaced every day, including the (high quality, not the usual single use) toothbrushes.
Breakfast was very good and varied. For lunch we'd usually go to the Elephant and the Butterfly restaurant by the pool, which was convenient for a quick tasty lunch or snack. Except for Tuesdays when the HRC is closed and one other night when we tried the (very pricey) buffet at the Sessions restaurant, we had dinner at the HRC every evening - great food and cocktails as expected, but even better atmosphere with the local bands playing there almost every night.
The best surprise was that on departure day, they allowed us to keep our room until our transfer to the airport at 7.00pm.
Facing the beachfront, Sun Siyam Olhuveli offers 4-star accommodation in South Male Atoll and features an outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre and garden.

The arrival and departure was excellent (very comfortable speedboats )
Excellent service from the Front Office Manager Fazyl and his team who looked after us on a daily basis. I never had such a friendly and nice service on the Maledives .
They have made our holiday one of the best we have had. My son was also allowed to play soccer every day :-) which was really important to him.
A big thank you also to Sankar who was responsible for the buggy service . Very helpful friendly and always on time.
Very nice lagoon and beaches. We stayed 2 weeks and we really enjoyed that the Resort is bigger than others. Various restaurants bars, spa and watersport services with a good choice of activities.
The food was really good especially the local Maledivian dishes and Indian food.
The Water Villa we stayed in was very spacious with a big pool and extremely big terasse of which you saw tons of rays , sharks and various beautiful fish passing by.
The Manta viewpoint watching the Mantas was definitely a highlight.
We went snorkeling every day at the house reef where we saw turtels, octupuses, sharks etc..
The Island is a paradise and the nature blows your mind . Perfect to relax and forget the stress from work.
We definitely come again.

I can confidently say that my time here was a truly unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived until the time I reluctantly departed, every aspect of my stay exceeded my expectations.
The breakfast spread at SAii Lagoon Maldives was nothing short of extraordinary. There were countless options to choose from, catering to every palate and dietary preference. The freshly baked pastries, tropical fruits, made-to-order omelettes and crepes, and the fresh guava juice were just a few highlights of the mouthwatering breakfast buffet. The attentive and friendly staff made sure that every guest had a delightful start to their day, leaving no room for disappointment.
The location of the resort is a true slice of paradise. Nestled in the crystal-clear waters of the Maldives, SAii Lagoon offers breathtaking views that will leave you in awe. The pristine white sandy beaches and the vibrant coral reefs right at your doorstep make it a haven for nature enthusiasts and beach lovers. Whether you choose to relax on the beach or explore the underwater world, you'll find yourself immersed in pure serenity and beauty. Being a mere 15-minute boat ride away from the airport was a major plus.
Cleanliness is of the utmost importance to me when choosing accommodation, and SAii Lagoon Maldives excelled in this aspect. The entire resort was immaculately maintained, from the rooms to the public areas. The housekeeping staff took great pride in their work, ensuring that every corner was spotless and every detail was attended to. This commitment to cleanliness truly elevated the overall experience, making me feel comfortable and at ease throughout my stay.
Having said all of that, I will just add that the staff at SAii Lagoon Maldives were the true stars of the resort. From the warm welcome upon arrival to the personalized service throughout my stay, every staff member went above and beyond to make me feel like a valued guest.

We loved everything about this hotel. Paradise island with white sand and turquoise water. Excellent staff who were professional and dedicated to making our stay perfect. Excellent choice of restaurants. The room was a very good size and beautifully decorated. We loved there were many excursions and activities offered too at this resort. We dived and got involved in coral planting. The resort was perfect !!

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

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

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

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

The Vellasaru experience starts from the point you come out of the airport to the point you hand your bags at the airline counter. It was amazing throughout.
The staff at the resort were extremely friendly. Breakfast was great. Room was spacious and clean. The island was really well maintained. And honestly we could not ask for more. Views were amazing, marine life was decent and plenty of activities to keep you busy for 5 days. My little one did not want to leave the island and wanted to buy a house in the Maldives 😀
Our villa over the sea was amazing. A few steps down into crystal clear torquoise sea water. Snorkelling, even around the villas withy water depth of around 1m was exceptional. It is exactly as imagined and seen in videos of Maldives over the years. Paradise. Staff were fabulous and the entire resort fabulous. Restaurants and food could not be better either. Our "host" Ibrahim, was so helpful, courteous, knowledgeable and on call, 24/7 if needed. We will be back and we will ask for Ibrahim again.
We loved the place!! I would definitely recommend it to anyone travelling to the Maldives. We have been to a few other resorts in the Maldives but this one is really special from the moment you arrive at the airport and threw all our stay. People are just so nice and attentive and they know about your needs even before you. Don't let me start about their restaurants, apart from the main one, the M6M (underwater restaurant) and the Traditions Indoceylon really swept us off our feet.
the view of the whole island and the hotel was mesmerizing, the staff were so friendly and nice, felt so welcome at all times. the food was amazing, especially breakfast, as we went for our one year anniversary the staff made sure that they could do everything to make it the best and the most perfect experience for us. we are really happy and thank you for that, special thanks to the friendly staff and GM
we are more than happy to visit again!!
It was the best holidays of our lives - the hotel is perfect, facilities are outstanding, the overwater villa is the most gorgeous place we've seen. Staff is extremely friendly and efficient, everybody is kind and supportive. The DEVIATE band is impressive, the DEVIATE play amazingly well!! Hotel gave us early check in and late check-out to accommodate our flight needs - thank you so much for this perfect holidays!
well , everything was on point . staff are amazing ( Reda , Ajay and Agra ) they were so nice and helpful and very very professional. food was amazing in everything single detail . I have been around in many resorts . but honestly they are different. they are exactly the meaning of how to be professional and friendly in the same time . Thank you guys . you made our vacation

staff super friendly and helpful. good food. nice complimentary breakfast in the room. ocean view from the bathroom.
hotel staff went out of their way making a super fun new year’s eve party. everything very neat and clean.
Everything in Ozen Life was amazing epically the staff. try to look for Soodan who was cleaning our room and never make us asking for anything. Also, in the restaurant we met Saathiu who provide us with wonderful service everyday in the restaurant. I highly recommend to choose Ozen Life without even think of other resorts.
The Island and Reef are just amazing to do snorkel. The ambiance is calm and slowlife. The hotel is not luxurious but everything you need, maintaining the essence of the island and nature, which is amazing. The food buffet has a lot of variety and every day the theme changes, amazing grill and pasta.
A really 5 star hotel. everything was fantastic, so friendly staff. especially Ms Aminah Fazla. room were cleaned , and well decorated. especially when we arrived. a verity of food in the restaurant ( all you can eat ) and different Menu. you can see so many and beautiful fish swimming around.
Very well organised pick up and transfers. Nice room and convenient hotel structure. Amazing colours of the see and many options for swimming. The hotel employees very polite and assisting. Green areas with preserved local vegetation.
I liked everthing about SunSiyam Olhuveli, the place i stayed was great and amazing.
and the Villa was very spacioous and beautiful, clean.
Staff was so helpful and friendly. Everything was just great at Sun Siyam Resorts.
The service attitude of the staff is very good, lee is very professional, the Wi-Fi is not very good, the service of the restaurant is very good, and the hidden service of the hotel is not introduced.
You have great beaches of white sand around the island. Other hotels have mainly coral reefs, which can hurt your feet. If you want to snorkel, there are also some coral reefs with beautiful fish.
