Intimate Celebrations

At Sun Siyam Iru Veli, every celebration is infused with privacy and romance. Each villa's private pool sets the stage for intimate moments, perfect for honeymoons or milestone anniversaries. Imagine surprising your partner with a private breakfast banquet served in the turquoise lagoon - an ideal setting to commemorate years of love or to begin a new chapter together.

For those marking a significant birthday or retirement, this 5-star property’s bespoke experiences truly shine. Embark on a wine tasting journey where fine vintages are paired with local delicacies or join an expedition to swim with manta rays - a bucket list moment to crown your celebration. Meanwhile, couples on a babymoon can bond while making their own coconut oil spa products, a soothing activity for expectant mothers looking to relax and be pampered.

A holiday treat loved by all ages, enjoy a floating breakfast served in the luxury of your own private pool.

But that’s not all. At Sun Siyam Iru Veli, every villa, whether perched over the sparkling waters or on the beach, has its own pool, so privacy is never a problem. And if you ever feel like leaving your sun-lounger there’s more than enough to keep you busy and entertained thanks to the countless custom experiences available for you to enjoy. From a cinema under the stars to cooking classes, a visit to the Farm Island where much of the resort’s produce is grown, to a fantastic Robinson Crusoe-inspired sandbank escape, you can create memories from dawn ‘til dusk.

And last, but definitely not least, we have to talk about the unparalleled all-inclusive offering at this beautiful resort. As well as a choice of dinner restaurants, your package includes jet-ski credit, a spa voucher, a refill of your mini bar each day and even three dives for certified divers.

Toasting New Horizons

The 5-star resort, Siyam World is where dreams of grand celebrations come to life, no matter the occasion. This is the place for all those milestone moments that demand something extraordinary, whether it’s a 50th birthday bash, a golden anniversary, or a long-awaited family reunion.
Picture your multi-generational party in a multi-bedroom overwater villa, complete with its own pool and slide.

Or how about a romantic beachside horseback ride at sunset to mark a significant wedding anniversary. From intimate vow renewals carved into the sand, to private pool parties for a big birthday, this is the resort where the answer to every question is - sure, no problem.
Siyam World is also the home of incredible innovation and a range of firsts. The world’s first underwater jet-pack – Cudajet – premiered here in 2023 and guests can saddle up majestic Marwari thoroughbreds at the first resort horse ranch in the Maldives, as well as zoom around the first resort go-kart track in the Maldives too.

The Maldives’ biggest floating water park to date. Think slippery slides, fun parkours, loads of obstacles, water trampolines, climbing walls and rafts, this fun water experience will keep everyone entertained.

And who doesn’t love an inflatable waterpark? At Siyam World you can jump around ‘til your heart’s content on the largest in the Maldives.

Or if you love music you can expect sets from some of the world’s biggest DJs. Tom Zanetti and Yungen have played at Siyam World several times, while Becky Hill performed live at Christmas!

And football fans won’t believe their luck. With previous soccer camps at Siyam World led by legends of the game like Wayne Bridge, Michael Owen and Franceso Totti and skills clinics run by Esteban Cambiasso and Walter Samuel, the beautiful game has never been played in such beautiful surroundings!

And the best thing? You can chill out at your luxurious villa before you do it all over again!

Cultural Milestones

At Sun Siyam Pasikudah in Sri Lanka, celebrations take on a rich, cultural dimension. This boutique 5-star property, with just 34 pavilions, is ideal for those seeking to infuse their special moments with meaningful experiences and new discoveries.

Newlyweds on their honeymoon can embark on a wildlife safari in Minneriya National Park, creating their first shared adventure. With elephant herds to spot all year, 160 species of bird, purple-faced langur and toque macaque monkeys and endangered species like Sri Lankan leopard and Sri Lankan sloth bear, wildlife lovers will be astounded by this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Couples celebrating an anniversary might choose to renew their bond atop the ancient Sigiriya Rock fortress, surrounded by centuries of history. Or for family reunions, a group expedition to watch whales off the coast of Trincomalee creates shared memories you’ll look back on together.

Back at the resort, the executive chef can curate a private beach dinner to mark your special occasion, using the finest local ingredients - perhaps even ones you've helped select from the local market. It's personal touches like these that set Sun Siyam Resorts apart and take your celebration to the next level.

Spend an evening with our sommelier, who’ll guide you through an international tasting of some of our favourite vintages.
