Outdoor activities

Get your heart pumping – night or day – in our contemporary fitness centre, where the equipment may be familiar, but the surroundings unparalleled. A number of regular classes are on offer throughout the day, as well as private sessions with a personal trainer.
Tennis and badminton courts also dot the island, while table tennis, pool tables and board games await at the island’s recreation centre.
Excursions
Your eyes gaze over the gracefully curved bow, transfixed by the last rays of sunlight dancing on the tranquil waters. Sea melds with sky, seemingly endless, broken only by the ripples of the dhoni slicing gently through the open sea. Suddenly, you see them. An entire group, gathering off at starboard, their fins seeming to wave. The dance of dolphins at sunset – another memory to treasure, to recount over and over.
The beauty of the Maldives does not end at our shores – Iru Fushi is the perfect gateway to all the natural splendour and cultural enchantment Noonu Atoll has to afford. We invite you to dive in, to float along, to discover and embrace all the beauty of these islands we call home.
The Sun Siyam is delighted to offer a regular programme of excursions and daily discoveries which you can enjoy in solo reflection, as a romantic encounter, or as an adventure for the whole family to enjoy.
Clink glasses on board our dhoni sunset cruise. Spend the day learning the ways of the traditional line-and-pole fishermen, stopping for lunch in their home village to get a taste of authentic Maldivian life. Join one of the island’s naturists for a free-guided walk through our 52 acres of island landscape, learning about the indigenous plants, flowers and little creatures that share our island home.
Water Sports
Gliding through the waters like a manta, fins propelling you easily towards the reef’s edge. Turning your head this way and that as a glimmer of orange rushes past, corals beneath swaying below in harmony, alive and rich with life.
Surrounded by endless inviting blue, The Sun Siyam Iru Fushi offers a wealth of ways to enjoy the sea – including some you may have never imagined.
We offer the following water sports:
Snorkelling, whether in the house reef or further off on the horizon, provides an exhilarating window into the colourful biodiversity of the Maldives. With calm crystal-clear waters, visibility is guaranteed year-round.
Our fleet of speedboats, catamarans and our own signature dhoni also put some of the atoll’s other island gems within reach. Glide along the water’s surface in luxurious style, sitting back to enjoy the view with a glass of champagne, or in the skipper’s seat after learning to harness the Maldivian winds.
Those in search of hands-on adventure can take advantage of personal instruction in windsurfing or kiteboarding, the smooth waters of our lagoon providing the perfect arena. A variety of motorised water sports also await, providing fun for the whole family – from banana boating to waterskiing or jet ski escapades.
Dive Centre
The silence is profound. Nothing but the calm, rhythmic sound of your own breathing, each exhale leaving a trail of rising bubbles. A moving meditation as you glide through the warm embrace of the waters. Ahead, the walls of the reef tower like a fortress, protecting all the dazzling life and colour darting within.
Waters calm yet riotous with a kaleidoscope of marine life. Fringed by a pristine coral reef built steadily over time and carefully undisturbed, Iru Fushi is a living paradise offering bountiful discoveries in one of the world’s richest diving destinations. Beyond, the reefs of Noonu Atoll offer ever more natural wonders, inviting you to take the plunge.
Whether you’ve dived all over the world or are being fitted for your first mask, our SSI and PADI-certified dive centre and multilingual master divers offer a full array of courses, and group or private excursions to a number of sites around the atoll, each with its own unique discoveries. Day or night, open water or sheltered reef, choose your own diving adventure.
KOAMAS KIDZ PARADISE
Koamas means 'dolphin' in Dhivehi, the local Maldivian language.
Laughter spills through the tropical garden, punctuated by the occasional splash from the pool. Here everyone feels free – to play, to discover, to create, to imagine. You smile, knowing that the island is a paradise not only for you, but also for your children. And they can’t wait to tell you how they’ve spent their day.
With the area’s own dedicated swimming pool kids can splash the day away, safe in the heartfelt care of our expertly trained Kidz Paradise staff. Parents, on the other hand, will have to go play elsewhere on the island, or beyond. But not to worry – at the end of the day, you can get together and see who had the most fun.
The Koamas Kidz Club is a fun place for your children to hang out and meet new friends:
If you think you would like to have a nice romantic dinner together, why not leave your kid in the good hands of our babysitters?
