The hotel

Guests can enjoy crystal clear infinity pools, a range of delicious dining options, and water sports in the lagoon. Take relaxation to the next level, by indulging in a spa treatment at one of the two spas including the Ocean Spa which features 8 over-water pavilions, before watching the sunset with a cocktail in hand.

This was a bucket list trip for me and our first trip to the Maldives. I have frequented many 5 star all inclusive island resorts and honestly Olhuveli rivals ALL of them! The staff are the best stand out for me. Balaso, Bina, Arif, Abdullah, Kim to name a view became our family for the week. The staff are unbelievablely attentive and the service is superb. We booked a grand beach suite for our family of four and lucky enough to get into one of the newer builds which was so modern, clean, comfortable and serviced twice a day. There is a little construction going on around the island but it didn't hinder or bother us at all - in fact I can't wait to come back and see what's been opened 😃. The food is amazing, the all inclusive variety is generous and there was no request they could not fulfill. The app that had all the info, booking features and trip itinerary is a world class idea that should become a hospitality standard. Could not fault a single thing and cannot give any recommendations on what to do better. Thank you Sun Siyam for such a memorable holiday. We check out today and don't want to leave! Read less

Lively view and even lovelier and helpful staff. The barkeep made the best cocktails and the atmosphere (music included) was perfect. I recommend Dhoni bar, where Doss, Khaled, Gayan and Sang made our experience a great one. Don’t miss it!
