Sun Siyam Marks 35 Years with Culture-Led Brand Transformation

India: November 17, 2025 - Sun Siyam, the proudly Maldivian hospitality group renowned for its award-winning collection of private island resorts across the Maldives and Sri Lanka, hosted an exclusive evening in New Delhi, India, on November 13 to mark a major milestone — the group’s 35th anniversary and the unveiling of its culture-led brand transformation. Bringing together India’s leading travel partners, media, and influencers, the event unveiled the brand’s new identity anchored in The Home of the Maldivian Spirit, marking a vibrant new chapter in Sun Siyam’s relationship with the Indian market.

Guests were given an exclusive first look at the group’s refreshed brand identity and portfolio structure, which unites five Maldivian resorts and its Sri Lankan retreat under a single identity The House of Siyam.

To help guests and partners navigate its diverse offerings, the brand has introduced three distinct collections that define its evolving philosophy of experience-driven luxury:

· Luxury Collection: Elevated by the elements and steeped in the sublime, this represents the highest calibre of island indulgence. Sun Siyam Iru Fushi leads the Luxury Collection, offering premium exclusivity and a perfect sun-soaked paradise.

· Lifestyle Collection: Vibrant, energetic, and designed for dreamlike adventure, this collection includes Sun Siyam Olhuveli and Siyam World, brimming with entertainment, recreation, and immersive experiences for families, friends, and couples alike.

· Privé 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 Privé Collection — romantic havens for travellers seeking soulful escapes.

At the heart of this new chapter are Signature Experiences that go beyond the villa, celebrating Maldivian heritage and creativity. Guests can explore Maldivian Roots, capture unforgettable moments at The Insta Villa, or unwind at the Sun Siyam Beach Club, where relaxed days flow into vibrant nights. From the Wow Welcome to Hidden Treasure Chests, Plant-Based Bliss, and Moonlit Cinemas, every stay is designed to surprise, inspire, and create lasting memories.

Reflecting on this milestone, Mr. Deepak Booneady, Chief Executive Officer, added: “This rebrand is not just about design, it is about experience. It is about cultural authenticity, purpose-driven hospitality, and creating moments that spark joy. With the Maldives’ widest choice of villas, the region’s most generous premium all-inclusive plan, and now our Signature Experiences, we are setting the stage for the future of island travel.”

Guided by the vision of Hon. Ahmed Siyam Mohamed, Founder, Owner and Managing Director, this milestone reflects the same pioneering spirit that inspired the creation of Sun Siyam more than three decades ago. His enduring belief in sharing the warmth of Maldivian culture with the world continues to shape the brand’s evolution — one that stays true to its roots while embracing the future of hospitality.

The evening in Delhi witnessed the real Maldivian warmth and hospitality, as guests experienced firsthand the brand’s new positioning and ethos. Through engaging interactions, destination updates, and shared stories of transformation, Sun Siyam showcased its commitment to redefining island luxury while staying true to its roots.

India continues to be one of the most important source markets for Sun Siyam, with a growing community of travellers seeking authentic, sustainable, and memorable island escapes. The event reaffirmed the brand’s commitment to deepening relationships with the Indian travel trade, media, and discerning travellers alike.
