A Maldives holiday often brings to mind a villa above the water and little to do beyond enjoying the view. Sun Siyam’s resorts present a wider choice for Saudi travellers planning a National Day break, with islands suited to different ages and styles of travel.
For a large family, the question may be how to give everyone enough to do while still finding time together. Sun Siyam Iru Fushi addresses both. Children can take part in resort activities while adults enjoy the beach, water sports or a visit to the award-winning Spa by Thalgo. Beach and overwater villas, including private-pool options, provide space to retreat at the end of the day.
The resort also has 15 dining and drink venues, along with halal food, in-villa dining and Arabic-speaking assistance. Those options can be useful for families travelling across generations, where plans and meal times do not always align.
Siyam World takes a livelier approach. Its horse ranch, go-kart track, floating water park and shipwreck diving site give guests several ways to fill a day. Larger families and groups can choose spacious villas or multi-bedroom residences. The resort’s 24-hour WOW! Premium All-Inclusive concept covers dining, drinks and a range of experiences, appealing to visitors who want much of their trip planned before they arrive.
Sun Siyam Iru Veli offers a different pace again. A more intimate resort, it is geared towards couples seeking privacy, with beach and overwater suites, private pools and romantic dining. A National Day trip here could be spent largely between the villa, the sea and dinner.
With direct flights connecting Riyadh and Jeddah to the Maldives, the choice for Saudi travellers is less about which destination to visit and more about the kind of break they want once they arrive.
