Catering to the growing demand for privacy and seclusion among discerning travellers – as highlighted in a recent Virtuoso report, where 89% of advisors reported a significant rise in requests for exclusive-use properties – Sirru Fen Fushi Private Lagoon Resort has unveiled Sirru Residences, a stunning collection of three beachfront villas that can be enjoyed individually or combined to create a luxurious seven-bedroom retreat. Set along a pristine stretch of sand, the residence can accommodate up to 14 adults or 14 adults and 7 children (under 12 years) –making it an idyllic base for multi-generational escapes and group getaways.

Each of the three villas boasts its own private pool and lounge area, offering ample space for both intimate moments and lively gatherings. A mix of a twin and king-sized bed configurations, and rooms all feature en-suite open-air bathrooms with spacious bathtubs, allowing guests to unwind in complete comfort. Nestled on the sunset side of the island with its own private beach cove and direct lagoon access, guests can immerse themselves in the endless beauty of the Maldivian waters, while lush tropical surroundings and private pathways ensure complete seclusion.

While away days playing beach volleyball or futsal on the villa’s dedicated court, bathing on the floating sundeck, or gathering around the bonfire for starlit storytelling. For those seeking relaxation, a tranquil spa pavilion awaits, while the outdoor bar and alfresco dining spaces set the scene for unforgettable evenings. A personal butler is on hand 24/7 to curate every aspect of guests’ stay, ensuring seamless service from in-villa breakfasts to guided snorkelling adventures at the iconic Coralarium – the world’s first semi-submerged art gallery by Jason deCaires Taylor promoting awareness on sustainability, marine life and climate preservation. With thoughtful touches like a complimentary jet lag massage, daily laundry service, and a well-stocked minibar replenished daily, Sirru Residences offers the ultimate blend of barefoot luxury and refined indulgence.

Guests are encouraged to create lasting memories through a series of tailored outdoor experiences designed to inspire relaxation, adventure and connection.

For an elevated dining experience, indulge in an atoll-hopping picnic with a lavish hamper of prepared treats or learn the secrets of traditional Maldivian cuisine in a private cooking class. From sunrise to sunset, sip on refreshing juices and handcrafted cocktails at the private bar and lounge, or dive into a world of aquatic adventures with thrilling activities such as jet skiing and paddleboarding, all accessible directly from the private beachfront.

Published

on

Wellness Week kicks off at Sun Siyam Olhuveli from 14 to 20 June 2026, inviting guests into a vibrant celebration of movement, mindfulness, and island energy led by wellness practitioners Marina Pavlenko and Nour Montasser. The immersive residency transforms Sun Siyam Olhuveli, the Lifestyle Collection under the House of Siyam, into a vibrant space where sunrise workouts, oceanfront rituals, and restorative experiences unfold naturally across days shaped by wellness, movement, and meaningful connection.

Set across the resort’s three island setting surrounded by endless ocean views and open skies, Wellness Week at Sun Siyam Olhuveli moves beyond traditional wellness retreats. Mornings begin with energising yoga and Pilates sessions designed to strengthen the body and build awareness through movement, while sunset experiences shift into slower, more reflective moments with ocean sound journeys, meditation gatherings, crystal bowl sessions, yoga Nidra under the stars, and immersive rituals that encourage guests to reconnect with themselves in a more intentional way. The programme also includes vision creation workshops and guided experiences blending movement, sound healing, journaling, and mindful reflection.

Leading the residency is Marina Pavlenko, a Yoga and Pilates instructor and integrative health coach with more than a decade of experience in the UAE wellness space. Known for her approach that combines Yoga, Pilates, strength training, and nervous system work, Marina’s sessions focus on mobility, core strength, vitality, and creating a body that supports modern lifestyles with energy and balance. Alongside her is Nour Montasser, a certified sound healer, transformational life coach, and space holder whose work centres around creating safe and meaningful environments where individuals can slow down, reflect, and reconnect inwardly.

“Today, wellness is no longer about slowing down alone. It is about finding moments that make you feel alive, connected, and fully present,” said Hassan Adil, General Manager of Sun Siyam Olhuveli. “This residency brings together movement, energy, mindfulness, and the beauty of island living in a way that feels immersive and uplifting. We want guests to leave not only feeling restored but inspired by the experiences they shared here.”

Designed to feel vibrant, social, and experience led, Wellness Week captures a more contemporary side of wellbeing at Sun Siyam Olhuveli. Guests can move from sunrise sessions by the ocean to evenings filled with sound healing beneath the stars, all while embracing the naturally active spirit of island life. Whether travelling solo, as couples, or with friends, the residency invites guests to experience wellness not as routine, but as something alive, uplifting, and deeply woven into every moment of the stay.

As Paradise of Plenty, Sun Siyam Olhuveli invites guests to embrace a more vibrant way to escape where movement, connection, island living, and wellbeing come together in experiences designed to energise, restore, and inspire.
