About Sun Siyam Olhuveli
Sun Siyam Olhuveli sits at the southern tip of South Malé Atoll, about 45 minutes by speedboat from Velana International Airport — we come to you by boat from our base. It is a large, long island with several beaches, a broad lagoon, beach villas, and a stretch of overwater villas on the lagoon side, plus a wide sandy lagoon that is popular for watersports. The size and variety suit families and groups, and the resort has long been a favourite for weddings and vow renewals.
