Discovering the Maldives: Where Tranquillity Meets the Ocean's Edge

Where are The Maldives located? The Maldives, a collection of islands located in the heart of the Indian Ocean, has a geography that truly is exceptional. Its distinctive structure features coral atolls and ring-shaped coral reefs surrounding lagoons, forming a captivating scenery of blue waters and diverse marine creatures. The unworldly sandy beaches surrounding these atolls are celebrated globally for their quality of sand and lush palm trees, making it the perfect place for your next getaway.

Maldives Island Exploration

When you visit the Maldives islands, you'll be transported to a world of beauty and a variety of stunning landscapes. Because there are so many sights to see, it can feel overwhelming to narrow down what attractions to add to your itinerary. That’s why Sun Siyam Resorts provides activities and excursions that welcome guests to explore outside the resort’s property. These guided outings are designed to showcase the natural surroundings and give visitors an insider’s look at some of the most coveted attractions in the Maldives location. 

For instance, at Sun Siyam Iru Fushi, the Thanburudhoo Venture sets sail to an uninhabited island, where you can admire the wildlife, picnic in the sand and enjoy your very own private island. The resort also features a guided nature walk that meanders through the natural landscape, which is home to diverse flora and fauna. Meanwhile, Siyam World offers its own deserted island experience, inviting you to bask on the shores of this sandbank escape in Noonu Atoll and even snorkel in the surrounding waters.

From visiting local villages to scuba diving around the magnificent reefs, there are countless opportunities to explore the Maldives during your stay. 

Find Underwater Wonders in the Maldives

Beneath the waters lie coral reefs with an astonishing variety of marine life, including colourful fish, majestic sea turtles and elegant manta rays. This unique environment makes the Maldives an ideal destination for snorkelling, diving and nature lovers to witness a world filled with marvels and stunning beauty. Whether you're discovering the gardens basking on the sun-kissed shores or simply immersing yourself in the peace of the ocean surroundings, visiting the Maldives guarantees an adventure for everyone.

The Sun Siyam Resorts delight with opportunities for guests to explore the underwater world, from snorkelling adventures to thrilling night dives. For example, at Sun Siyam Olhuveli, guests can take a short boat ride over to a hidden shipwreck in Vaavu Atoll, where they’ll dive or snorkel around the wreckage and admire the colourful marine life. Then, they can venture over to Manta Point to marvel at the nightly feeding of the mantas, where the creatures swoop and dive for plankton just below the surface. No matter if you explore the depths of Dhaalu, Vaavu, Noonu, South Male, Raa Atoll or Lhaviyani Atoll, you’re in for a treat. 

Explore Cultural Experiences

The culture of the Maldives is deeply embedded in this island nation's heritage. Traditional music features drumming and evocative melodies that can set the scene for gatherings and festivities. Dance forms like "Bodu Beru" epitomise the essence and dynamism of culture as dancers in vibrant attire move to the beat of drums.

Culinary experiences play a role in culture, with dishes reflecting the abundance of the surrounding seas and the influences of neighbouring lands. Travellers can savour fare such as "Mas Huni" (a flavorful blend of shredded fish, coconut and spices) and "Garudhiya" (an aromatic fish soup) along with seafood specialties prepared using traditional recipes passed down over generations. Because this authentic fare is so integral to Maldivian culture, many of the resorts serve this cuisine to share their heritage. For instance, Siyam World’s Kaage invites guests on a culinary journey as they indulge in traditional dishes like Kandu Kukulhu, Masbah and Bankeibili. Islander’s Grill at Sun Siyam Iru Fushi is another example of a resort restaurant that offers fresh seafood served in Maldivian style. 

In addition to adventures and cultural performances, visitors can connect with communities to gain deeper insights into Maldivian traditions. Engaging in activities exploring markets and partaking in cultural festivals offers opportunities to interact with locals, discover their rituals and practices and get a glimpse into their way of life. 

To further immerse yourself in the culture, the Sun Siyam Resorts welcome guests to embark on tours to the local village, providing them with opportunities to shop, dine and engage with the locals. You can browse the local market, see the mosque or school and pick out some souvenirs at the gift shop.
