Georgi’s Top Tips for an Unforgettable Stay

Favourite Resort Activity: I loved the private jet ski transfer from Siyam World to Iru Fushi. After just 2 minutes in the open ocean, our butlers warmly greeted us on the beach and escorted us to our villas. The journey was incredible; we even encountered a few dolphins along the way!

Top Restaurant: Our private beach dinner at Vilu Reef was extraordinary. Twenty staff members took care of us as we enjoyed the secluded beach setting with delicious food and drinks.

Where to Stay: If you’re staying in a pool villa, you simply must indulge in a romantic floating breakfast. Consider planning a split stay, spending 5 nights in a beach villa and another 5 in a water villa. This way, you can experience the best of both worlds. For those who may not be confident swimmers, opt for a resort with a house reef. It offers equally breathtaking views but in shallower waters.
