Sun Siyam Vilu Reef is a stunning 5-star, 24-hour all-inclusive private island resort located on Meedhuffushi Island in the South Nilandhe (Dhaalu) Atoll, operated by the Sun Siyam Resorts group. Surrounded by velvet-soft white sand beaches, cobalt-blue waters, and one of the finest house reefs in all of the Maldives, the resort is celebrated for its rich marine life — guests regularly snorkel alongside whale sharks, manta rays, turtles, eagle rays, and reef sharks. With 103 beach and overwater villas styled in a contemporary Maldivian aesthetic — using tropical colours, natural wood, and stone — the resort balances intimacy with a full spectrum of luxury amenities. The signature “Athireege” cultural beach house offers authentic Maldivian dining and cultural immersion. Its all-inclusive plan covers meals, selected beverages, non-motorised water sports, and complimentary excursions, making it exceptional value for a Maldives escape.
The Aqua, named after the infinite shades of blue of the surrounding lagoon (yes it’s on stilts over water), is our resort’s all-day-dining venue conveniently located at the beginning of the jetty leading to the overwater suites. Fuel up with a fabulous breakfast spread, pop in for a casual lunch on your way to and from your overwater suite. Evenings are festive with themed buffets that will take you on a culinary odyssey.
The Nautilus is located between the sandy shore and the swimming pool-blue lagoon. The sandy floored bar is the perfect spot to kick back a refreshing drink between two dips in the sea. Craving a mid-afternoon snack? This is the place. Happy hour? We’ve got you covered. At golden hour, this is the best seat in the house to catch the sunset.
The peculiarity of this venue is that it serves homemade pizzas, pasta dishes and fresh insalata at lunchtime. Come nightfall, the place morphs into an Indian restaurant serving delicious spiced curries to be scooped up with homebaked flatbreads.
There’s a hint of retro in the air: the pale blue swimming pool recalls a Slim Aarons photograph, while the bright orange sunbeds add an element of playfulness. Take a seat, recline and let the bartender serve cocktails poolside in true island fashion. The drinks menu includes nourishing shakes to boost your immune system and other refreshing
Well Done consists of tables and chairs set up under the shade of the coconut palms, as well as inside the restaurant located right on the beach. And then the food… Fresh-from-the-sea bounty – Maldivian rock lobster, Sri Lankan mud crab, whole fish – is grilled to perfection. If you prefer the ‘Turf’ in Surf & Turf, there are also prime cuts of beef, lamb, and duck. The vibe is relaxed, toes-in-the-sand kind of dining.
Our award-winning wine cellar houses a curated selection of great wines, vintage champagnes, and rare bottles. There’s a bottle for every celebration. Our resident sommelier is on hand to help you make your pick. The space is ideal for private dining or a wine pairing à deux.
