Why Stay At Vilu Reef?:
A Taste of the Authentic
Sun Siyam Vilu Reef is the very first resort that Mr Ahmed Siyam Mohamed, the visionary founder, opened in the Maldives back in 1998. Vilu Reef retains some of that early day magic and, to this day, embodies the incredible spirit of its island origins.
House Reef & Wildlife
Dive into a lagoon so blue it doesn’t look real, and swim to the ‘house reef’, one of the country’s most spectacular reefs (it’s no coincidence the word appears in the name of the hotel). At golden hour, race to the beach in time to watch the rays flutter and glide at the water’s edge. It is unlike anything you have ever seen.
Secret Sundowner
At golden hour, head off on a hunt to find the creatively styled, secret pop-up bar in its ever-changing clandestine location for a sundowner. The quest perfectly encapsulates Sun Siyam’s dedication to filling every stay with delightful surprises.
