Elevated by the elements and steeped in sublimity, Sun Siyam Iru Fushi now heads the newly rebranded ‘Luxury Collection’ of Maldivian indigenous resort group Sun Sayam. It serves as a bright beacon of premium exclusivity, where every barefoot step feels like poetry in the sand.
Set on a 52-acre pristine island in Noonu Atoll, this all-inclusive, sun-drenched paradise combines understated luxury with authentic Maldivian warmth. Here, the rhythm of the sea defines time itself, and luxury is simply a way of life.
Hotel
Ideal for couples and families alike, Iru Fushi is the epitome of luxurious island luxury. The resort’s design blends rustic luxury architecture with modern sophistication, from the palm-fringed beach and overwater walkways to the breezy pavilions and outdoor lounges.
Our dedicated multilingual butler team will seamlessly accommodate your every need, from candlelit dinners to last-minute excursions. The resort also stands out for its environmental ethos, incorporating sustainable practices and a commitment to marine conservation.
room
221 villas are scattered between the lagoon and the lush tropical hinterland, offering a haven of sophistication and tranquility. Beach villas come with shaded cabanas and private plunge pools, while overwater retreats look directly onto the crystal clear waters. An ultra-luxury ‘celebrity retreat’, a 600 square meter sanctuary with a private spa, gym and three bedrooms, ensuring maximum privacy.
Whether you’re looking for an elegant Horizon Overwater Villa with a pool or a tranquil family-friendly Deluxe Beach Villa, each villa features luxurious comforts such as a Bose sound system, i-Spa facilities, and a personal butler.
Eating and drinking
With 15 restaurants and bars, Ile Fushi is a foodie’s dream. Enjoy a sumptuous breakfast at Iru Restaurant, followed by aromatic Asian cuisine at Bamboo or soulful coastal curry by the sea at Taste of India. Haute cuisine reaches its peak at Flavors, a fusion of French and Maldivian cuisine, and The Trio, an Italian restaurant above the sea.
Bubble Lounge is the resort’s sparkling secret, an overwater champagne bar where you can enjoy magical sunsets. From the fresh grilled seafood at Islanders Grill to the vibrant artistry of Teppanyaki to the decadent ice cream scoops at La Cremeria, every meal will make you feel like you’re traveling around the world on one idyllic island.
spa and wellness
A highlight of Ile Fushi, the Thalgo French Spa is a sanctuary for holistic rejuvenation. With over 165 treatments, we offer everything from ocean-based Talgo rituals to Ayurvedic, Chinese and Maldivian therapies.
The spa’s hydrotherapy circuit, complete with steam, sauna and plunge pool, is the perfect prelude to a deep-tissue massage or sunset meditation. There is also a Sweet Pea Kids Spa, one of the few upscale spas for all ages.
things to do
Here the days unfold in perfect rhythm. Dive beneath the vast expanses of turquoise water at our SSI-accredited dive center, explore coral gardens (where you can help plant coral with a resident marine biologist) and Nemo Reef, or try your hand at paddleboarding or parasailing.
Families can spend the afternoon at the Coamas Kids Club, while adults can relax by the infinity pool or enjoy a private ‘Moonlight Cinema’ screening. If you’re feeling romantic, bespoke experiences like secret sundowners and floating breakfasts on your private deck seal the deal.
In a nutshell
From sun-drenched mornings to champagne sunsets, Sun Siyam Iru Fushi offers the most personal and poetic luxury. Whether you visit as a couple seeking solitude, a group of friends riding the noisy vendors, or a family chasing barefoot joy, this island promises a stay filled with tranquility, sophistication and true Maldivian soul.
directions
Fly from London Heathrow, Gatwick or Manchester to Velana International Airport in Malé via Doha, Dubai or Colombo. Board a Trans Maldivian Airways seaplane from Male for a scenic 45-minute flight across the turquoise atoll, landing directly at the resort’s private jetty. This is the perfect prologue to paradise.
