Maldives will see an exciting launch
next month. A part of Sun Siyam
Resorts, Sun Aqua Iru Veli promises
a luxurious experience for guests opting to
spend their island vacation in Dhaalu Atoll.

Velana International Airport, the resort
offers its incoming guests complimentary

seaplane terminal.
Flanked by gorgeous white-sand
beaches and surrounded by swaying palms
and dense tropical vegetation, the
125 accommodation units at the island
resort include beach villas, overwater
villas, and suites. Each of these features a
pool and a unique design sensibility. While
the beach villas boast a private stretch of

stilts above the turquoise lagoon offering
panoramic views of the sea. And the
opulent suites come with a choice of
beach and overwater location.

personalised meal in a secluded pavillion by
the sea shore, on the terrace of your private
villa, or in the middle of the beach.

vacation by availing one of the recreational
experiences offered at the resort. Be
it a game of volleyball, an underwater
