Sun Siyam Olhuveli, hotel in South Male Atoll

Facing the beachfront, Sun Siyam Olhuveli offers 4-star accommodation in South Male Atoll and features an outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre and garden.

We stayed in Bungalow 727 in Dream Island, that is really great place to stay with a family of 3. The small pool and direct access to the lagoon for snorkeling make them the best spot in the island. The room was always kept very cleaned and fresh. Our focal point CJ did attend all our needs and we need to thank him for the readiness and support. All staff in the island is very friendly and ready to help, what was marvelous. The staff work hard to maintain beaches and islands tidy. Sailing with the ''house'' sailor was fantastic. The vegetation is luxuriant and provide sufficient shade while walking around. If Snorkeling is a passion once you arrive in the island, head directly to the Diving center peer and start your snorkeling around the reef. Don't forget to bring your fins and your snorkeling mask with you. Bring short fins and avoid touching the corals....many destroyed but we also saw some recovering what was very good to see. Turtles, Nurse Sharks, Lobster, Sting rays and so many other sea creatures. All vehicles are electric.

    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 water bungalow experience was fabulous; stepping down the bungalow steps straight into the sea and the reef area for snorkelling was amazing. There was so much underwater life to see. Although the bungalows were a little tired and the bed was not the comfiest, we loved the experience. As they are semi detached, pray you don’t get a noisy couple next door! The sunsets were stunning.

    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.

    Staff was always helpful, friendly and very polite. Our butler was amazing. We were welcomed at the airport immediately. When we arrived at the hotel, our butler had organized everything for us already. All of our dinners and activities were pre-booked. When we needed to change something, we just whatsapped our butler and he took care of it. The room was cleaned twice a day, our coffee machine broke and they changed the machine within 1 hour. 10/10 for the service and hospitality!

    The warm welcome and send off message! The hotel prepared our room for our silver anniversary, with complimentary bottle of fizzy drink and a small gateaux. Staff were responsive of requests made through the hotel app. Breakfast was great, loved the eggs Benedict & mimosa drink. Very close to the Marina crossroads which had lots of restaurants including Hard Rock Cafe, a few shops including a minimart. Would love to go again!

    Location is great, 25 mins from airport by speed boat which makes it less hassle from taking a sea plane. Facilities are good, and the Water Villa with pool is superb ( Although we didn't have the chance to swim at the lagoon due to the windy weather). Leena from the check in staff was very helpful. My wife had a small emergency and the nurse Anil in the clinic was very supportive. All in all, it is a great resort

    Hotel was great, 3 islands, a lot of space to walk and feel isolated, even hotel was almost full. Location and beaches are magnificent, staff is friendly, cleaning rooms and providing tower and water change 2 times a day was very nice, diving center and house reef for snorkeling are great service too, has watersports, bars, everything you need.

    When we arrived to the hotel Saukaina welcomed us graciously. After giving all the information about the hotel, she accompanied us to our room and she arranged a wonderful birthday present for me. We loved Hard Rock Cafe and there JL was perfect that’s why we ate there 2 times:) We liked to listen the group Deviate they are professionals.

    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.
