Sun Aqua Iru Veli, the fifth resort by Sun Siyam Resorts and its third property under the brand Sun Aqua has officially welcomed its first guests on 15th December 2018.

Set on Aluvifushi, a secluded, previously uninhabited private island forming part of the South Nilandhe Atoll, also known as the Dhaalu Atoll, Sun Aqua Iru Veli will offer guests the ultimate island indulgence with a playful twist. The premium all-inclusive resort will fuse intimate indulgence with naturally playful elements to create a truly relaxing tropical idyll.

Sister resorts Sun Aqua Vilu Reef Maldives and Sun Aqua Pasikudah Sri Lanka marked the beginning of the Sun Aqua story, now Sun Aqua Iru Veli represents a new level of laid-back luxury in the collection.  The Sun Aqua Signature offers guests a flexible, premium all-inclusive experience from dining, drinking with a shisha experience and a wide selection of wines from the wine cellar to champagne breakfast to kick start the day. Also included are diving, excursions and bespoke spa treatments. 



Surrounded by a perfect white-sand beach, the five-star Sun Aqua Iru Veli was created to offer a luxurious yet intimate experience for both couples and families. Each of the 125 light-filled beach and over-water suites reflects the islands unspoilt beauty, individually decorated in natural tones and local artworks. Spacious, contemporary bathrooms reveal ocean views. Guests can choose from decadently private couples or family suites with interconnecting spaces for the whole crew to rest, relax and recharge. All suites have private freshwater swimming pools and sunbathing areas with complimentary minibars (wine, beers, soft drinks) replenished twice daily.

The Sun Aqua boutique-style all-inclusive experience means guests can enjoy the freshest, global fusion fare, from champagne breakfasts and mouth-watering Maldivian curries to seafood straight from the ocean and classic dishes with a difference. Dine à deux on the beach, enjoy a fine dining experience in one of the three restaurants or keep it low key with family dinner in the privacy of the suite or room service, the resorts offer private dining anywhere. Sun Aqua Iru Veli has its own wine cellar and the resorts mixologist will create sundowners that guests will never forget and a wide selection of unlimited alcoholic drinks. 



Guests can take time out to be soothed at the tranquil Sun Aqua Spa with seven over-water pavilions with double massage tables, open-air rain showers and romantic flower-strewn baths and a main spa house with hydrotherapy pools, steam, sauna and spa boutique. While guests bliss out, the resort's complimentary Kids Club welcomes little ones aged between three and 11 years old, if not, there is complimentary babysitting service that includes three hours per stay.

Guests can soak up the sun with exhilarating activities at the resort's water sports centre and infinity pool.  Dhaalu Atoll is becoming a diving hotspot with clear waters teeming with dolphins, stingrays, whale sharks and myriad tropical fish offering excellent channel dives. 



Set within its own lagoon, Sun Aqua Iru Veli has its own house reef and PADI / SSI facility dive centre. The resort's guests can select three dives per stay or swap for spa credit up to US$ 100 per day. The use of snorkelling equipment is complimentary for all guests.  Excursions offer something for everyone: guests will each receive a complimentary half hour group windsurfing lesson and a 15-minute Jet Ski ride per person, per stay together with one of the following: dolphin cruise, guided snorkelling safari tour, sunset cruise or local island discovery. The resort also offers its guests the chance to experience its sister resort Sun Aqua Vilu Reef, which is 10-minute speedboat ride away, whether for dinner or a night or two.

Arriving is something special, as guests fly low over islands, reefs and shallow lagoons. The island is just a 35-minute seaplane transfer from Velana International Airport and guests of Sun Aqua Iru Veli have access to the Sun Siyam lounge with massage corner, food and drink and childrens corner.
