Sun Siyam Iru Fushi unveils the first of its reimagined water villas

Sun Siyam Iru Fushi has revealed the initial phase of its comprehensive design transformation, representing a key evolution for the property as part of its newly established Luxury Collection. The award-winning resort introduces redesigned overwater accommodations, establishing a fresh aesthetic direction anchored in sophisticated island luxury and traditional Maldivian craftsmanship.

Redesigned Water Villas & Horizon Water Villas with Private Pool

The transformed overwater villas introduce a contemporary interpretation of Maldivian elegance. Featuring ocean-facing layouts, each villa includes a spacious bathroom with lagoon views and private decks offering multiple lounging areas with suspended hammocks and soft green accents. The design creates an atmosphere of effortless sophistication.

Horizon Water Villas now incorporate 22 sqm private pools and sunken seating areas, creating secluded spaces for sunrise viewing and sunset gatherings. Special amenities for couples and honeymooners enable personalized experiences throughout their stay.

The collection comprises 40 Water Villas with Pool (123 sqm), 16 Horizon Water Villas with Pool (128 sqm), and 19 Sunset Horizon Water Villas with Pool (128 sqm), all balancing comfort and seclusion.

Visionary Design Approach

International interior designers Lee McNichol and Jose Rivero of Studio Sixty7 led the redesign, introducing muted tones and natural textures that evoke organic luxury. Through textured plaster walls, linen fabrics, and tactile finishes, they created spaces radiating tranquility. McNichol and Rivero explained: “We selected every element to create sensory connections and a profound sense of calm.”

Resort Manager Abdulla Atham emphasized: “Our transformation extends beyond visual enhancements to encompass spatial harmony, service refinement, and meaningful details. From villa experiences to private butler gestures, each aspect reflects authentic island sophistication.”

The property continues its evolution as a destination celebrating subtle luxury and cultural authenticity.
