Discover the different Sun Siyam Resorts and who they'll appeal to
Take the stress out of Maldives bookings by getting to know the different Sun Siyam resorts and the types of clients they appeal to
Maldivian-owned and with resorts across five islands, Sun Siyam has plenty of experience creating memorable Indian Ocean holidays. Despite the choice it offers, the group has removed the headache from deciding where to book. While guests get the same affordable-luxury ethos and focus on service across all five, Sun Siyam’s resorts each have their own distinct personality. So, it’s easy to match your clients to their dream holiday, whether you’re booking families, couples, friends or multi-generational getaways.
Flexible dining options are another stress-saver, because your clients can choose from bed-and-breakfast right up to premium all-inclusive. There’s also a chance to make their Maldives holiday extra memorable, by checking out Sun Siyam’s programme of events, from tennis pro coaching to international DJ sets.
