Sun Siyam Resorts has announced the launch of its global Instagram giveaway, Win the Maldivian Spirit, marking a key milestone in the group’s 35th anniversary celebrations of Maldivian hospitality. Running from October to November 2025, the campaign invites travellers from around the world to experience the Maldives in style, with one winner and three companions receiving a seven-night stay at any resort within the Sun Siyam Lifestyle Collection.

The prize includes a 24-hour all-inclusive package, airport transfers, a luxury spa treatment, a private dining experience, and a choice between diving or watersports adventures.

The initiative coincides with the unveiling of Sun Siyam Resorts’ brand (r)evolution — a transformation that extends beyond a visual refresh. Centred on the new brand statement, The Home of the Maldivian Spirit, the rebrand unites all six resorts under The House of Siyam, now grouped into three distinctive collections: Luxury, Privé, and Lifestyle. Alongside this, the brand has introduced new Signature Experiences and launched Siyam Rewards to strengthen guest engagement.

Participation in the giveaway is straightforward:

• Follow @sunsiyamresorts on Instagram
• Like the giveaway post

Open globally, the campaign seeks to grow Sun Siyam’s online community while showcasing its refreshed identity. Through engaging reels, influencer collaborations, and interactive content, the campaign aims to share a glimpse of the authentic warmth and spirit that define Maldivian hospitality.

“We are thrilled to share the Maldivian Spirit with a global audience through this campaign,” said Shammun Mohamed, Director of Digital Communications at Sun Siyam. “This is not just a chance to win a holiday; it’s an invitation to experience the beauty, warmth, and unforgettable moments that define Sun Siyam.”

The giveaway will close on 25 November 2025, with the winner announced on 30 November 2025 via @sunsiyamresorts on Instagram, where all campaign details are available.

This December, the festive season takes on a whole new meaning at COLOURS OF OBLU, where four islands present four completely different ways to celebrate. For those yet to plan their year-end holiday, COLOURS OF OBLU offers something for every mood and moment, from the high-energy splash of OBLU SELECT Sangeli, to the romantic elegance of OBLU SELECT Lobigili, the exuberant family fun at OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi, and the serene, soulful rhythms of OBLU NATURE Helengeli by SENTIDO.

At OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi, the holidays unfold like a video game come to life. Themed around Roblox, the resort transforms into an open-air playground filled with imaginative workshops, poolside foam parties, neon DJ nights, and family movie sessions under the stars. Children mix mocktails and join daily challenges, while New Year’s Eve builds up to a dazzling gala dinner and countdown that feels like one big family celebration.

Across the jetty, sister island OBLU SELECT Lobigili offers something more intimate. This adult exclusive sanctuary invites couples to step into a ‘Timeless Love, a Masquerade of Moments’ themed celebration. Blending indulgence with elegance, the days drift by in ocean exploration, wellness rituals, and decorating gingerbread houses, and nights sparkling with delicious cocktails, candlelit dinners, soft jazz or live saxophone. The highlight is a New Year’s Eve masquerade gala in white and gold, designed for whispered resolutions and slow dances in the sand.

OBLU SELECT Sangeli, meanwhile, is all about rhythm and energy. Its “Waves of Wonder New Year Splash” brings together poolside games, cocktail showdowns, live music, and beach carnivals, filling the island with non-stop festive cheer. Stroll barefoot along white sandy beaches, relish tuna by the waves, jam to merry melodies, and light the Christmas tree. On New Year’s Eve, a colourful gala dinner spills onto the sand with fireworks, DJ sets, and barefoot dancing until dawn.

And for ocean lovers there is OBLU NATURE Helengeli by SENTIDO, where the reef inspires a gentler kind of festivity. With its “Underwater Coral” theme, mornings begin with yoga and snorkelling, afternoons feature reef talks, art workshops, and conservation activities. Evenings come alive with themed culinary spreads ranging from Mekong flavours to Indonesian feasts, building to the “Ring of Fire” New Year’s Eve gala by the sea. It’s festive, but at your own pace — reflective, soulful, and beautifully enchanting.

As the year draws to a close, COLOURS OF OBLU invites travellers to celebrate the festive season in all its vibrant variety. If you haven’t yet decided where to ring in the New Year, now is the perfect time to book a stay at one of these resorts and welcome 2026 amidst the beauty and joy of the Maldives.
