Sun Siyam Resorts Champions The Art of Slow, Safe, and Mindful Travel

Mumbai, June, 2025 — As the world leans towards exploring meaningful holidays, Sun Siyam Resorts invites travellers to pause, breathe, and embrace the beauty of slow travel. With properties spread across the pristine shores of the Maldives and Sri Lanka, Sun Siyam offers more than just a luxurious escape, it’s a chance to connect with nature, culture, and oneself truly.

Whether it’s the endless blue horizon from an overwater villa at Siyam World or the intimate, boutique charm of Sun Siyam Vilu Reef, each resort has been carefully crafted to encourage stillness and serenity. Guests can ease into days filled with sunrise yoga, traditional healing therapies, fresh-from-the-garden cuisine, and cultural encounters that feel authentic and grounding.

“At Sun Siyam Resorts, we believe that true luxury is the ability to pause, breathe, and begin again,” says Deepak Booneady, CEO of Sun Siyam Resorts. “Our escapes are designed as a reinvigorating reset—an invitation to step away from the noise of everyday life and into a space where you feel refreshed, restored, and ready to face the world anew. It is more than a holiday; it is a chance to reconnect with yourself and what truly matters.”

Prioritising Well-being at Every Step

Step away from reality and into a dream. The re-energising escapes are an opportunity to ‘press reset’ on your life—surrounded by tall palms & coral reefs. Sun Siyam offers incredible hideaway havens of respite and recreation, for wellness- lovers and fun-seekers alike. Endlessly indulgent. Alive with activity. A luxury experience that leaves our guests feeling refreshed, reinvigorated and ready to face the world again.

Leading with Purpose: Sustainability at the Core

Sun Siyam Resorts continues to champion sustainability and responsible tourism through its comprehensive Sun Siyam Cares programme. Dedicated to preserving the natural beauty and cultural heritage of the Maldives and Sri Lanka, the programme integrates meaningful initiatives focused on reducing energy and water consumption, minimising single-use plastics, managing waste responsibly, and investing in renewable energy solutions. Conservation efforts extend to protecting marine life and safeguarding local traditions, while community development remains central through education, employment, and engagement programmes. By adhering to robust sustainability policies, Sun Siyam Resorts aims to reduce its environmental footprint and contribute to the long-term well-being of the ecosystems and communities it calls home.

We stress the importance of measurement, monitoring, and reporting in achieving these objectives. Sun Siyam’s commitment to sustainability is not just a policy, it’s a way of life at each resort. With Travelife Gold certification, the brand has made tangible strides in reducing its environmental footprint. From energy-efficient operations and waste management systems to coral reef regeneration and supporting local artisans, each initiative reflects a genuine respect

for the destinations it calls home. Guests are encouraged to take part, whether it’s joining a coral planting session, visiting a local island community, planting trees, cleaning up beaches or reefs, or simply learning how their holiday contributes to long-term preservation efforts.

A Taste of Island Soul

Earlier this year, Sun Siyam Pasikudah in Sri Lanka hosted its first ‘Island Soul’ Retreat, a three-day programme that blended wellness, mindfulness, and cultural discovery. Guests immersed themselves in everything from Ayurvedic healing and traditional dance to meditation by the sea and organic cooking classes, all designed to inspire a deeper, more conscious way of travelling.

Holidays with Heart

From couples seeking quiet luxury to families in need of quality time or solo travellers on a journey inward, Sun Siyam Resorts offers something personal for everyone. At its core, every property is a reminder that time is our most precious luxury and that how we spend it matters.

The resort’s signature sound healing meditation, where resonant singing bowls blend with the natural lull of ocean waves, offers profound rest and clarity. While the photos capture this healing ritual within the tranquil spa setting, the experience evokes the spirit of the sea and sound in perfect harmony.

For honeymooners and couples, Iru Veli offers laidback luxury through personalised celebrations from secluded sandbank toasts with champagne and sunset views to intimate beachfront dinners designed just for two. Here, love unfolds at its own rhythm, with curated moments that honour connection over extravagance. Suggested image: Valentine's celebration album

A Deep Connection to Maldivian Healing – Sun Siyam Iru Fushi

At Sun Siyam Iru Fushi, the resort’s Spa by Thalgo France celebrates Dhivehi beys, the Maldives’ centuries-old healing traditions. Signature treatments such as Umbuliveyo Banun, using native herbs and banana leaves, or Kandu Dhon-Veli, a beachside massage incorporating sea sand and ocean rhythms, reflect the island’s deep-rooted wisdom.

Each ritual begins with a traditional foot cleansing and unfolds in tranquil spaces adorned with Maldivian craftsmanship, offering a grounding connection to the island’s spirit.
