Experience grandest romance this Valentine’s Day at Fairmont Maldives
In celebration of the season of love, Fairmont Maldives, Sirru Fen Fushi provides guests with the perfect opportunity to indulge in the grandest romance. From intimate spa journeys, to romantic dining experiences beneath the stars, lovers can select from exclusive packages and bespoke offerings that are sure to reignite love and allow for more moments shared together in the picture-perfect Maldives.
To help couples unleash their inner explorer, the resort highlights the ‘Romantic Retreat’ in the new Beach Tented Villa, offering the Maldives’ most luxurious glamping adventure. This package allows them to reconnect in nature and learn more about the island’s innovative sustainability initiatives first-hand, while engaging in intimate experiences created for a truly unforgettable escape. Experience-seeking couples can plant their own piece of coral in the nursery, which they can revisit in years to come, before making their way to the Sustainability Lab, a hub of eco-education where specialised machinery turns plastic waste into creative souvenirs to be treasured long after the holiday is over. Back at the villa, they can unwind with a couple’s massage on the expansive decking before enjoying a beach BBQ dinner, prepared by a private chef.
At the award-winning Fairmont Spa, romantic couples can enjoy ‘A Valentine’s Dream’, featuring a 60-minute full-body massage and a 30-minute nourishing scrub, followed by an exotic floral bath with a glass of sparkling wine, including access to the adults-only jetted pool to relax before or after the treatment. Further, they can deepen their connection through a renewing couple’s yoga session led by the resident wellness master.
Celebrating romance in an adventurous way, guests can enjoy ‘Sirru Fen Fushi Love’ to embark on an ocean escapade aboard the resort’s luxury yacht, Azimut, around Shaviyani Atoll, or even indulge in ‘Finolhu Crusoe,’ where they are taken to a deserted sandbank, undisturbed to swim in the crystal-clear waters, snorkel to discover marine life, and admire the magnificent Maldivian sunset while sipping Champagne and nibbling on delectable canapés.
To make Valentine’s evening exceptional, the idyllic island resort has prepared a Valentine’s Day Wine Dinner at the by-the-sea restaurant, Azure, and a selection of destination dining experiences, where lovers can enjoy the tropical sunset and conclude the perfect night under the stars.
The ultimate journey into romance comes alive with the ‘Love in Paradise’ package, which presents a decadent, over-the-top experience. This exclusive arrangement features a sunset cruise on a luxury yacht, a blissful couple’s massage, and some celebratory Champagne. As the day turns to evening, guests can indulge in an exquisite four-course dinner or a private BBQ experience beneath the moonlit sky, curated by the talented culinary team.

Sun Siyam Olhuveli launches Coral Frame Adoption programme on Earth Day
To mark Earth Day, Sun Siyam Olhuveli, part of the Lifestyle Collection within the House of Siyam, launched its new marine conservation initiative, the Adopt A Coral Frame experience, during a morning event held on 22 April at Milano Beach on Dream Island.
The initiative forms part of the resort’s wider marine conservation efforts and is designed to give guests a direct way to engage with coral restoration while supporting the protection of the surrounding reef ecosystem.
During the launch, guests were introduced to the coral restoration process through a hands-on experience that explained how new coral growth can be supported through frame-based planting. Under the programme, guests are invited to select and adopt a coral frame, attach healthy coral fragments to it, and take part in placing it within the lagoon to help form a new reef structure.
The process begins with the collection of healthy coral fragments under the guidance of the resort’s marine biologist. These fragments are then secured to specially designed coral frames and placed in selected areas within the resort’s coral garden, where conditions are intended to support growth and marine biodiversity. Guests who adopt a frame will also receive updates on its progress, including photographs shared every six months.
The resort said the programme is intended to make coral conservation more accessible to guests while also highlighting the role of reefs in supporting marine life, protecting coastlines and maintaining ocean ecosystems.
Chaminda Upul, Group Sustainability Manager for Sun Siyam, said the initiative was designed to give guests an opportunity to contribute in a direct way.
“Earth Day is a reminder that even the smallest actions can shape something far greater,” he said. “With Adopt-A-Coral Frame, we wanted to create an experience where our guests can leave a positive mark on the ocean. It’s simple, it’s meaningful, and it stays with you.”
Hassan Adil, General Manager of Sun Siyam Olhuveli, said the resort wanted to create an experience that combines guest participation with long-term environmental value.
“At Olhuveli, we believe the best experiences are the ones that stay with you long after you leave. Adopt-A-Coral is our way of inviting guests to be part of something lasting, while caring for the natural beauty that makes this place so special,” he said.
Part of the proceeds from each coral adoption will go towards Sun Siyam Care, the group’s sustainability platform, supporting marine conservation and reef restoration efforts.
Through the launch of Adopt A Coral Frame, Sun Siyam Olhuveli is combining guest experience with reef restoration, reflecting a wider focus on environmental engagement within its island operations.
