Cradled in the crystalline expanse of Dhaalu Atoll, just a 40-minute seaplane glide from Velana International Airport, Sun Siyam Iru Veli is a five-star hideaway that feels more dream than destination. With 125 sleek beach and overwater suites—each with its own private freshwater pool—it redefines the Maldivian escape. This is barefoot luxury with a pulse: intimate, effortlessly stylish, and steeped in the kind of slow living that lovers, honeymooners, and escapists alike come to crave.
At the heart of the resort’s magnetic charm is its generous Premium All-Inclusive Signature Plan—a passport to indulgence that includes unlimited gourmet dining across six distinctive restaurants and bars, daily-changing menus at the main restaurant, and Mediterranean elegance at Roma. Seafood lovers will find nirvana at Grouper Grill, where the catch of the day transforms into culinary masterpieces. Add to that a world-class wine cellar, an overwater spa, and adrenaline-pumping motorized water sports—and you have an island that never stops surprising. Whether it’s a romantic castaway evening on a private sandbank, beachside cinema under the stars, or a weekly pool party with island beats, every moment at Iru Veli sings with flavour, rhythm, and romance.

Theatre on a Plate: Teppanyaki Live Cooking
There’s something hypnotic about fire meeting iron—and at Sun Siyam Iru Veli’s brand-new Teppanyaki offering, dinner becomes pure performance. Here, rooted in Japanese culinary tradition, food is elevated to spectacle. Flames leap, knives flash, and aromas sizzle as chefs choreograph your meal in real-time.

The cruise accommodates up to 10 guests and is available by advance reservation only.
Thali Lunch at Roma: A Taste of North India
Twice a week, the culinary compass at Roma swings northward, swapping coastal Italian notes for the lush, aromatic flavours of the Indian subcontinent. On Mondays and Thursdays, guests are invited to savour a traditional Thali lunch that travels through the kitchens of Punjab, Kashmir, and Lucknow. Expect an elegant spread—both vegetarian and non-vegetarian—served with fragrant herbs plucked fresh from the resort’s organic garden and a chilled glass of homemade lassi. Set over water with uninterrupted views of the sea, this cultural detour is available from 12:30 to 14:30 with advance booking.
Private Sunset Isle: Romance, Rewritten
Imagine a deserted islet of sugar-white sand, just you and your partner, and the endless blue stretched in every direction. Their Private Sunset Isle is the kind of memory that lives forever. As the sun begins its descent, couples are ferried to a hidden sandbank where beanbags await on warm sands. Champagne is poured. Canapés arrive. Time stills. This castaway dream unfolds daily—tide and weather permitting—and must be reserved in advance. It’s not just a sunset; it’s your own private chapter in paradise.
At Sun Siyam Iru Veli, nothing is by accident. Each new experience is a love letter to the senses—crafted to surprise, seduce, and stay with you long after the journey ends.
