Anyone waiting for a long, detailed review of Siyam World, here it is!
We started our journey by arriving at Male airport, going through customs, and collecting our luggage, which was a breeze! The Siyam world representative then met us and tagged our luggage with our room numbers. We were then taken to the seaplane check-in. They took all our bags and weighed them before telling us we could go to the air-conditioned bus outside, which I was very grateful for!
A short bus ride away, and you are taken to the seaplane terminal with the Siyam World Lounge. But in our case, as we arrived, our seaplane was already ready to go, and therefore, we made our way straight to the seaplane. Part of me wanted to see the lounge just out of noseyness, but I was grateful we were not waiting around and could get straight to the island. The seaplane is small, as expected, but it was such an experience. For anyone wondering who hasn’t been on one before, it is pretty loud, but you are given ear plugs, and to get into the air, it is a little bit of a bumpy ride, but this is to be expected due to how small the plane is. Once in the air, you can see all of the islands, inhabited or not, and the pools of bright blue ocean.
After around 45 minutes, we landed at Siyam World and were greeted with music, a palm necklace and a cool towel. We were introduced to our host, Soul, who would be our go-to person for the rest of our holiday. We were then taken to a buggy and the WOW lounge, where we offered a cold drink (obviously, I chose Processco). Soul then talked us through where things were on the islands, took our numbers to set up a WhatsApp group to receive daily updates, and gave us a leaflet with a few brief rules for the islands. A WhatsApp message from Soul was sent to us with all the activities, restaurant opening times, and the Tempo restaurant theme for that evening.
We were then taken to our room where, if I hadn’t fallen in love before, I did then. We stayed on Tower Bridge, room 372. This was an excellent location, as we were far enough out to enjoy snorkelling. Two of us (my husband and I) stayed in the room. The room was super spacious, beautifully laid out, and had everything we needed, including shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, toothbrushes, toothpaste, loofas, cotton pads, cold drinks and even a couple of bars of Toblerone. There is plenty of storage space for you to hang/put away your clothes. If you need extra hangers, call reception, and they will bring them to you. Walking out onto the balcony took my breath away. I requested a villa on this side of the tower bridge for an unobstructed view of the sea, and the view did not disappoint. The crystal clear water and the sound of the sea were just incredible.
Once settled in, we went to Orchid Bar around 11 am, which still had sun beds available. We were told that as it is not peak season, the hotel's capacity was below half (which, to be honest, I was grateful for). A big shout out to Harish, Mavaia and all the guys from Orchid, who served us daily! Over the following days, we visited each of the pool/beach areas. Our favourites were Shipwrecked and Jungali. We enjoyed Shipwreck as its pool was right on the beach, allowing you to enjoy the pool and the sea. There were also plenty of shaded areas and sun if you wanted to tan. The pizza at Shipwreck was incredible, but so was the fresh pasta bar. Jungali had daily activities, such as water aerobics and water polo. Water polo is great fun, but the husband didn’t wear his water shoes and, therefore, cut his feet quite badly as the skin became so soft in the water, so the advice is to wear water shoes if you plan to play. Again, I would like to mention.…… Jungali, thank you for the fantastic service you provided every time we visited, particularly from Sakandra; he is an absolute gem and can't do enough for you. One downside to Junagli is the amount of mosquitos. If your sunbeds are close to the bushes, they will hunt you down very quickly.
The wildlife on the island is just incredible. Watching the fruit bats fly across the island and skim the pools is unbelievable as I have never seen them in person before, let alone so close. In our last few days, we also encountered the local turkey. There are also a few cats and kittens on the island. Two tiny kittens are hanging around Tempo in particular. They don't beg for food. The kittens just enjoy playing and running around. At one point, they were in the beach bag playing hide and seek with each other, which was adorable to watch. We were also lucky enough to see the stingrays, baby black tips, and baby nurse sharks when looking out of our water villa on the beach.
As the island is so big, having the buses all around is a blessing. They tend to have more buses running around meal times, so you aren't waiting too long. There were occasions in the evening when I walked from one side of the island to the other as it was more relaxed and quite a pleasant walk, but even if you wait 5 minutes, a bus will be there. The buses take different routes, so they may not always go your way, but don't let that deter you from jumping on and taking the scenic route while getting a tour of the island.
Snorkelling around the island was fabulous. While on the island, we opted for the snorkelling safari for our complimentary excursion, which didn't disappoint. The boat takes around 30 people to a neighbouring island, about a 20-minute away. The reefs were so colourful, full of fish and mesmerising to see. I cannot recommend this trip enough. It was raining the day we went, but as you were already in the water, it didn’t make any difference to us apart from being able to hear the rain while your head was underwater. We also took part in the free marine biology snorkelling tour. It was a group of about 12 of us. You are given a sheet showing you all the fish you might see while snorkelling, and we felt like we saw them all! The variety of marine life was just another level. The snorkelling is better on the far side of the island. I think this may be due to the noise from activities on the other side. The marine biology tour gets booked, so book this in advance.
It was only fitting to try various activities while we were here. We went canoeing, paddle boarding, jet skiing, and to the inflatable water park. Aside from jet skiing, all these activities are free, so take advantage. I paid $25 for a see-through paddle board to watch the fish as I went along, which I highly recommend! The canoeing tested our teamwork and arm muscles, but it was worthwhile. Jet skiing was perfect fun and something we wanted to do. Don’t get me wrong, it could be done anywhere, but there was something special about viewing the islands as you zoom around.
Whilst there, we visited most of the restaurants apart from Kaage. The restaurants themselves are not air-conditioned and are all outside, but to be honest, it’s beautiful to feel the warm air and hear the ocean as you eat. Every meal we had while we were there was just fantastic. My husband fell in love with the spaghetti bolognese in Delmare, but I could list so many dishes that we tried and loved! Tempo is also great for dinner as there is so much variety and, most importantly, a dessert area serving anything from ice cream to cakes and fruit.
To sum up, this wonderful island is one of the most amazing places we have ever visited. A part of our hearts will always be here, and we are now saving up to return. As mentioned, the staff are all excellent and make your experience wherever you are personal by introducing themselves and taking the time to talk to you. I just wanted to give a special mention to a few people. Our ambassador Soul for daily updates on what was happening, answering questions and checking up on us after my husband hurt his feet. Our cleaner, Rabiul, who left our room spotless every day, made beautiful towel animals/people on our bed to make us smile and go all the little extra bits we asked for (bug spray, etc.)—Sakandra at Jungali. The level of service this man had was terrific. So polite, helpful and attentive. All of the lads at Orchid Bar had a Tiger beer waiting for my husband when we rocked up for his pre-dinner drinks and discussions every day. I want to apologise for any incorrect spelling of this name. Still, Supriya/Sapriya at Tempo was fantastic every day, being attentive and always ensuring we had a hot coffee. Lastly, I didn't write down another name, so I am so sorry, but the manager at Delmare. What an incredible woman she is. She was so lovely, again attentive and smiling whenever we saw her. She always made an effort to come and say hello when we see her and have a conversation with us. I could mention so many staff members, and I am so sorry I couldn't fit them all in.
If you are considering booking, I cannot recommend it enough, and if you have this booked already, I am so jealous and hope you have the most fantastic time.

We chose the hotel on the advice of our travel consultant, and we are very grateful to her. For the first time in the Maldives, I couldn’t think of a better hotel to explore this place. Upon arrival in Male, we were accommodated in the wonderful Siyam Lounge. The seaplane flight took 35 minutes. We were greeted beautifully, with national songs and music. Our butler Omina was waiting for us, a wonderful girl who took us to the reception and then to our room, giving us brief basic information along the way. Our room is a water villa with a pool and slide. The room is large, beautiful, bright, the view from the balcony is wonderful. It’s convenient to slide down the slide into the ocean) The room is cleaned twice a day, the refrigerator is replenished daily. The hotel area is huge (because of this there is no crowding of people like in Turkey, there is always room on the beaches, restaurants, bars and pools), green, well-groomed. There are buggies, stops all over the island, the waiting time is 4-5 minutes, there is information on the online display about the location of the buggy at the moment. The staff is polite, attentive, helpful, everyone smiles and says hello. The cuisine is excellent: both in the main Tempo restaurant and in the pool bars - tasty and fast. With the help of Omina, yesterday we celebrated my birthday at the a la carte restaurant Vahu (the team congratulated us with songs, cake and flowers). The seafood and fish in the restaurant were 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻. Today we will go to the Thai restaurant Takray, tomorrow to Andalusia, and so every day - a new restaurant. We'll try everything in a week))). The colors of the ocean, sand and sky are unreal, it’s a pity the photos don’t fully convey the beauty. We rented masks and fins for free from the diving center and snorkeled today at the pier of the Takray restaurant - we found a lot of beautiful fish. The guys saw sharks and rays there today. Later we saw dolphins. So everything is fine with the living creatures in the ocean. In 2 days we will go snorkeling to a neighboring island - the excursion is included in the package. Additionally, we booked a fishing trip - Big Game fishing. All reservations can be conveniently made through the Siyam World app. To sum it up, the hotel is wonderful! The highest score in all positions 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻we are still here, enjoying our vacation! Thanks to the staff and personally to Omine for our vacation! P.S. I don’t understand the people who previously wrote negative reviews about the hotel; they didn’t see anything you described here 🤷🏻♂️ Probably, what’s in a person’s head is what surrounds him. Siyam World is the Best 🔥👌🏻 And the Maldives is heaven on Earth.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
The island is really big! Traveling on foot is a challenge for young parents, especially walking along the pier from/to the water villa, and we had almost the last one, about 5 minutes at a brisk pace in the scorching sun, with a small child, what a challenge! But they kindly provided us with a pink stroller with a roof) we all had a blast. There are buses running around the island, and you can quickly get everywhere (at each stop you can watch their movement online). Walking is not an option, you can get lost, which is unusual for the Maldives. The good news is that life is in full swing everywhere on the island, something is happening in every place and the staff is trying. Also, when the hotel is fully occupied, there is no crowd in any restaurant or bar. We decided with restaurants that it’s difficult to get a reservation, but if you do it a few days in advance or directly in a restaurant, then you can try everything during a week of vacation. The food is varied, fresh and of high quality, each a la carte restaurant offers different cuisines of the world, and in the main restaurant the dinner changes thematically every day. It’s nice that the hotel cares about the environment: water is served in reusable glass bottles, there are no disposable tableware, and most restaurants use cloth napkins. All vehicles, with the exception of a few that we saw, run on electricity. I would like to note that the bars offer a wide range of drinks and cocktails, and the bartenders are extremely polite, but none of them offer cognac, which is included in the all-inclusive package. And the only option for cognac that was offered to me for extra. board - Ferrand 10 generations.
The view is a little spoiled by the West Coast, where the ocean has eroded the coast and now in many places you can see white sandbags, which are used to strengthen the coast. Also, despite the fact that the hotel was built recently, quite a lot of places no longer look fresh, some are rusty, paint has come off somewhere, and mold has appeared in some places. This also includes the condition of the water villas and their cosmetic repairs, which no longer look fresh. The room was cleaned twice a day, linen was changed every three days. In general, we are happy with the cleaning, but in 5* hotels we definitely encountered better cleaning.
Be prepared that the kids club accepts children from 4 to 12 years old. If the child is younger, he can only be in the club accompanied by a parent or nanny ($30/hour). The club is open from 8 am to 10 pm, you can order child care in your villa after 10 pm for an additional fee. fee.
The hotel provides an ambassador for each room, this is a person who helps with all issues. We had a mixed impression about this service: firstly, most of the questions sent to him, in the end, we had to solve ourselves. After commenting about this to management, the situation changed radically. Secondly, there are no issues that cannot be resolved without an additional link. The hotel also has a convenient application for obtaining information and making reservations. Thank you to the Sony manager for responding to problems, understanding and providing additional services for our convenience.

We have just returned from the best 12 days in paradise at Siyam world. We were greeted at Male airport and escorted to the sea plane lounge which is a 5 min shuttle ride away, the whole process was incredibly efficient and stress free. We arrived by sea plane just in time for sunset, where we were greeted by our ambassador Kris, who was fantastic, incredibly helpful and friendly. You can find information and book activities and restaurants via the app, or message your ambassador via WhatsApp. Kris had booked restaurants for us in advance but I wish I would have known about the app and to book restaurants further in advance as they do fill up quickly and you’re left with either early or late slots. The food is fantastic in the all inclusive restaurants and Tempo, the buffet area and Barabarru for breakfast. There are some a la carte restaurants you can pay for we didn’t feel the need. The Thai (Takrai), Indian (Kurry Leaf) and grill (Wahoo) were favourites. You can do as much or as little as you want to with activities to suit everyone. We took our 2 boys aged 10 and 7 and they loved it there. As it was British half term holidays there were a lot of kids there but they mainly stayed in the main pools at Jungali and Together bars. There were still huge stretches of deserted beaches, and an adults only bar and pool (Mint Bar) so you can avoid kids if you wanted to! The boys loved the kids club which had a great programme of activities, and we were lucky enough to be there while the kids carnival was on. My 10 year old took part in football camp with Pablo Aimar and it was it was a great experience for him. The Maldivian coaches were also great, many of them having playing in the Maldivian first division. I fulfilled a dream of horse riding on the beach. The hoses are well cared for and you can only book to ride between 6-9am and 3-6pm. I rode Shams who was well schooled and very responsive to commands. I can ride so I enjoyed the experience so so much, if you are a novice then don’t expect to be allowed to do more than walk as the horses are strong and sensitive to your seat, feet and hands. Shad came out on the ride with me along with his colleague (sorry I can’t remember name!) and it was clear they both loved the horses and their jobs as grooms. We also did an art class where we painted on canvas with acrylic paints, the art teacher was fab, guiding us through the process. All the staff are so kind, friendly and helpful but special mentions to Rona in Takrai restaurant, Thandar in Tempo, Dhivakaran from house keeping and Hari the bus driver, along with those already mentioned. They all helped to make our stay an incredible experience and we are already planning a return visit

Extraordinary stay at Siyam World, for 7 nights for our honeymoon... - To begin, we were greeted at the exit of the plane in Malé: the steps were made for us to check in on the seaplane, and we were taken to an air-conditioned lounge with all the amenities while waiting for our flight to reach the hotel (drinks, food, shower...). The seaplane flight lasted 45 minutes. Approaching the island: beautiful landscapes... - We were greeted with a lot of attention (music, privileged interlocutor, explanations of the island plan, transportation to our accommodation, luggage delivery...). Our stilted bungalow with private pool and slide was just sublime. Like the pictures... Spacious, tastefully decorated, full of storage and equipment (slippers, bathrobes, shower gel / shampoo / conditioner / moisturizer, beach towels, hair dryer, safe, ironing board...). In Wow formula (full board), we could consume the daily contents of the mini bar (bottles of water, sodas, juices, coffee/tea, etc.). - The maintenance of the bungalow was exceptional: made morning and evening, towels changed (including beach towels), with an extreme kindness of the team. The terrace of the bungalow was great! Swimming pool and ocean at 28 degrees, possibility to watch the fish leaving the slide, comfortable deckchairs and sofa (shade or sun: everyone will find his happiness). Not/little vis-à-vis the neighbors, magnificent view. - The outdoor spaces are very beautiful: beautiful (clean) beaches, few people. The vegetation is very well maintained: it looks like in the jungle. You meet a few animals there. -The tour of the island is done in 1 hour on foot. If you are in a hurry, electric shuttles pass regularly and offer you a ride to the next stop. For us, we preferred walking almost every day (15 min to go to the restaurant, whatever the site). - We were delighted by the quality of the food and service (from tempo to baraabaru at breakfast - without reservation, to Kurry Leaf, Takrai and Kaage at dinner - upon reservation). No false note: almost the whole menu is included in the Wow formula, including drinks and appetizers... The bars were also very nice (music, atmosphere, variety of drinks...). - Finally, we were able to enjoy the gym (fitness and musc), and the different sports facilities (table tennis, billiards, table football, ...). We did not have the opportunity to visit tennis, football, etc. facilities as we did not see the time pass. - Only downside (if we were to find one), the excessive prices of the shop (more than 80€ sunscreen...). So don't forget anything! Same for activities not included in the full board: spa, horseback ride... It was, in our opinion, overpriced. No problem: we did not enjoy our stay in this little paradise, without ever being bored!

It was our first time in the Maldives, and we were absolutely thrilled with our vacation (July 29 - August 4, 2024). We traveled with our children (8 and 10 years old) and chose a family-friendly hotel with a variety of food options since our kids are picky eaters and we wanted to make sure they wouldn’t get bored. We made the right choice by staying at Siyam World Maldives. The hotel grounds are large, green, and clean.
The hotel staff gave us a very warm welcome and quickly settled us into our overwater villa. A special thanks to our amazing ambassador, Elli, who always provided detailed answers to our questions about the vacation, met us, and ensured everything was on time.
We were initially concerned about choosing an overwater villa (due to the sound of the waves and potential swaying), but our worries were unfounded—there were only advantages. There were no bugs, and no mosquitoes at all on our side; we stayed in villa #548. The cleaning service was excellent, with daily cleaning, sometimes even twice a day. The minibar was refilled on time, and there was always drinking water available (we drink a lot of water).
My husband pre-booked dinners through the hotel app at the Maldivian, Italian, Spanish, Indian, and grill restaurants, and the food was delicious everywhere. We had breakfast and lunch at the Tempo buffet restaurant and were very satisfied.
The natural beauty of the place is beyond words, even though we’ve vacationed in top-notch hotels in Turkey, Egypt, Vietnam, and Thailand.
We brought masks, fins, and snorkels so that the whole family could go snorkeling near our villa. The underwater beauty and the variety of fish were incredible and not scary at all.
The water temperature in the ocean and our villa’s pool was comfortable, even warm. We were also lucky with the weather—no heavy rains, and we had some cloudy days, which was a relief from the intense sun!
I celebrated my 35th birthday there, and it was flawless: a floating breakfast in the morning, a saxophonist, and a dinner by the ocean in the evening (extra charge). Of course, this was all arranged by our wonderful Elli, who planned everything in advance with my husband.
Overall, this was our best vacation ever! Thank you once again to this amazing hotel for our unforgettable memories!

The good stuff: We had a dream holiday in Siyam World. Arriving in Male: From the moment we landed in Male everything was sorted out, from the airport lounge with the complimentary buffet, massage to the seaplane ride. Our luggage was picked up at the airport and brought to our room. Check in: We received a warm welcome and a detailed orientation before check in by our ambassador. We downloaded the resort app and we could book restaurant reservations and activities through that. Food and drinks: Food and drinks were top notch, with plenty of options in restaurants that allowed us to have a different dinner every night. The all inclusive package included more than enough options, you don't really need anything else. We loved Kaage (Maldivian) , Wahoo Grill and Mint Bar, which was adult only. Activities: The resort organised different activities from 5.30am until midnight. Some of them were free (aqua aerobics, saxophonist nights, parties, kayaking, tennis) some of them were chargeable (spa, cruises). Cleanliness: The entire resort was spotless; staff were continuously cleaning the roads so that you can walk barefoot everywhere. Common areas such as WCs, common showers, the gym, changing rooms were also cleaned constantly. Our room was cleaned twice daily which was more than enough. Staff: All staff were so friendly and accommodating, particularly our housekeeper and the shuttle drivers. Minor issues during our stay: Our check in was delayed by 1,5 hour. Not the end of the world, but we had been travelling for a day and we wanted to get sorted as soon as possible. Also during our check out we were accidentally charged for drinks that were included in our all inclusive plan. When we pointed it out, it took reception about 30 minutes to figure it out and we were just handed the updated bill, there was no communication or a simple apology for the mistake. Our ambassador was polite and he sent us an update on the ongoing activities every morning. Other than that, there was no contribution as we didn't really ask for much and we arranged everything through the app. Towards the end of our stay I left a "mediocre" rating through the app, mostly due to the issues with check in, billing, a request to our ambassador was left unanswered. Also when we misplaced our vouchers for the spa, we were asked to "search again" (of course in the end he did give us another copy). To my surprise, during our last hours on the island, the ambassador asked to meet and explain why I left the review and if I could explain what went wrong. I appreciate it is the resort policy, but I found it confrontational and certainly not what I wanted to be doing during my last hours there. These are all just minor things that don't impact on the overall fantastic experience. Overall, we highly recommend the resort and we would happily go back in the future.

We stayed at this fantastic resort for Valentine's Day and I must say we have never seen such beauty comfort and organization. I had never seen a place where you were cleaned twice a day, mini bar always full and included, and slippers all of different sizes according to guests there were also those for the baby size. The all inclusive service was top the food we ate in the restaurants included in the price was excellent better than that of the restaurants not included in fact I only recommend going to eat from arigato the sushi and try the cuisine teopaniaki cn the chef who cooks live experience beautiful. Top breakfast always by the sea water melon or pineapple juices are too good already I miss them. People who were always happy and smiling would come and fill your glass at the table when they realized it was empty. The excursions to do are many jet skis, canoeing, snorkeling, bike rental at 15 dollars a day equally beautiful experience because we visited the whole island cn that and we had too much fun doing it. The only excursion we wanted to do was the one with the white horses unique experience and the guys took pictures by the sea to take your breath away. Our villas were on the best side of the island there never caught the wind and were those beach front I must say we were too pleased with the choice. I saw things I could never imagine, we were shocked and the return was traumatic. I do not name anyone in particular because each of the people we meet will remain forever in our hearts.

On arrival we were overwhelmed by the beauty of the Island. We’d been promised a free upgrade on booking, however, a few days before we travelled we were told this was no longer possible as the island was fully booked and that we would have a water Village and not a Lagoon Villa. We decided that it wouldn’t affect our holiday as all villas were beautiful The staff were amazing and went over and above to assist you. However, on day six we were awoken by the sound of drilling and hammering at the villa next to ours. (we were in Water Villa 328). We said nothing that day thinking it was a ‘one off’ but this continued on a daily basis, even though I complained to our Ambassador on two occasions and was told the works would be put on hold until after our departure. We vacated our villa this morning (4 days later) and the works on the decking and pool area next door are still continuing. We came on holiday to relax in the luxury of the Maldives and instead our last few days felt as if we were on a building site. I was too embarrassed to use the water slide at the villa because of the workmen next door, and, as a consequence, we no longer spent our mornings relaxing on our private deck with pool and slide and chose to visit various other pool areas on the island. Empathy from management and our ambassador was none existent. We left a tip for our cleaner on a daily basis and yet he very rarely tidied the decking area or emptied the ashtray (my husband is a smoker). On departure we were told the sea plane was picking us up 5 hours and 20 mins before departure! The journey to Male is only 45 minutes so we had more than 4 hours to wait for our flight to Abu Dhabi. Our ambassador told us not to worry as we would be taken to their lounge at the airport until it was time to check in. This again was not correct, their lounge is in arrivals and therefore we had to spend the next few hours purchasing food and drink in the airport. Sadly this will be our first and last visit 😢

Traveling with 3 small children, I entrusted myself to the knowledgeable and friendly hands of Sara from Maldivness Padua who immediately understood my needs and proposed options for a trip to the Maldives in February. the choice fell on Siyam World and honestly, one day away from returning, I can only feel satisfied. I would like to point out that having already been to the Maldives 4 times on islands in different atolls, I was not new to the topic, but it was the first time with all the children so we opted for a large, modern island with all the comforts. On site we were welcomed by Sabrina, the contact person for our family for the entire stay. Girl from Sri Lanka but who speaks perfect Italian since she has also lived in Italy and above all who has the desire and enthusiasm in following the guest. She resolved several of my requests in a short time, every day she came to greet us discreetly at dinner or during a meal, she sent me the day's program via WhatsApp and any communications so as not to be intrusive... in short, very good!
For reasons of space we had the Beach villa on the sunrise side but it was more exposed to the wind (a windy week alas) I recommend the sunset side.
Well maintained water villas.
food in the Tempo and BArabaru buffet restaurants is very fresh and never repetitive. Very good and well-organised evening restaurants, I recommend downloading the resort's app before leaving and starting to plan your meals, even if you can then ask for availability on site, it's not a given that you can find it. any reservation can still be canceled until 5pm so...
I recommend TAKRAI Thai restaurant on the pier where you access the barrier, really good.
and what else?...few Italians which for us was better, very international but of a higher level, prices for excursions not exactly cheap as well as the basic necessities, bring everything from home.
And now let's think about the next 2025 holidays!

No. It’s your choice if you consider yourself to be a strong swimmer. But my advice would be to go with what the activity leader recommends. We did not wear them when we swam with the Sharks but we did with the Turtles as we were in the water for almost a hour and we swam against the current to get back to the boat.
There are more places to choose from in the Dhigurah area.
