Marking 35 Years, Sun Siyam Reinvents Its Brand with a Cultural Touch

Sun Siyam unveils a milestone transformation as it celebrates 35 years of Maldivian hospitality. More than a visual refresh, the brand (r)evolution introduces a bold new brand statement anchored in The Home of the Maldivian Spirit, reinforcing the groupâs position as one of the Maldivesâ most culturally authentic resort operators.
The transformation elevates guest journeys with new Signature Experiences introduced across all six resorts and strengthens direct relationships with customers through Siyam Rewards.

A single identity now unites the groupâs five Maldivian resorts and its Sri Lankan retreat under The House of Siyam. To help guests and partners navigate the portfolio, each property is now grouped under three distinct collections: Luxury, PrivĂ©, and Lifestyle.
- Luxury Collection: elevated by the elements and steeped in the sublime, this is the highest calibre of island indulgence. Sun Siyam Iru Fushi now leads the Luxury Collection, offering premium exclusivity and a perfect sun-soaked paradise.
- Lifestyle Collection: vibrant, energetic and designed for dreamlike adventure. The Lifestyle resorts are Sun Siyam Olhuveli and Siyam World, brimming with entertainment, recreation and a wide mix of experiences for families, friends and couples alike.
- PrivĂ© Collection: intimate barefoot hideaways where privacy and bespoke comforts come first. Sun Siyam Iru Veli, Sun Siyam Vilu Reef and Sun Siyam Pasikudah in Sri Lanka form the PrivĂ© Collection â romantic havens for travellers seeking soulful escapes.

Central to this evolution are a series of Signature Experiences, designed to go beyond the villa and bring Maldivian heritage and imagination into every stay. Guests can immerse themselves in Maldivian Roots, weekly culinary and cultural journeys celebrating heritage through story and flavour. They can book the Maldivesâ first overwater photo studio, the Insta Villa, for envy-inducing moments in six-star surrounds. And they can join the islandâs most vibrant scene at the Sun Siyam Beach Club, where afternoons of relaxed lounging turn into evenings of music and dancing under glowing tangerine skies. From the ceremonial Wow Welcome to Hidden Treasure Chests, the culinary journey of Plant Based Bliss and Moonlit Cinemas, each stay is enriched with unexpected moments of joy.
The brand (r)evolution also introduces Siyam Rewards, a digital membership programme that builds stronger direct relationships with guests. Members enjoy personalised itineraries, room upgrades, and optional carbon offsets, with rewards available from the very first booking. Every stay continues to support marine conservation and community projects through the groupâs sustainability platform, Sun Siyam Care.
With a redesigned website now live at sunsiyam.com, the new brand identity ties together every touchpoint, across print, digital and guest experience, with a fresh look and feel that is unmistakably Maldivian, yet confidently modern.
