The island is beautiful, the color of the water is unbelievable, could not stop starring at it every day. We could see plenty of fish, sharks, stingray. Breakfast was very good and diverse. We had dinner twice at the Maldivian restaurant at the Marina and we loved it: dish was so flavorful and delicious, and the desert was mouth watering. We also tried Elephant and Butterfly and the Sessions restaurants and they were both very good options for dinner. Nevertheless be aware food is really expensive there, but it is definitely a unique experience, unlike any other we had so far. We really loved riding the bike over the bridge to go to Marina and the Beach Club and basically anywhere around the island.
Facing the beachfront, Sun Siyam Olhuveli offers 4-star accommodations in South Male Atoll and features an outdoor swimming pool, fitness center and garden.

Very attentive staff, especially Zahid who was with us throughout our stay.
Very clean facilities, including kids club.
Food is good. Massage is amazing.
You can go to the resort via the speedboat which I consider an advantage.

Resort is well kept and its location is perfect as it is close to Male, only a 20 minute speedboat ride (arranged by the resort) however the resort is showing its age. Breakfast and dinner buffet was awesome, nice variety of foods. Beach is beautiful, there is a coral reef (Coral garden) around the island for those who like to snorkel. Grounds are very well kept.

This was our second time at Ozen in 4 months. First time ... couldn't fault it. This time ... not so positive, we had to move rooms. As the first night we were disturbed all night by noisy neighbours with unruly kids and blaring music and shouting. We had the 2 bedroom beach villa 508 as requested same as time before but this time it was not as great. Second night other side were noisy also so we moved the next day. It
Seemed a big group of Russians took over and it was very rowdy,
The second room was dusty and smelt damp. Esp the second bedroom where our little boy slept. We had issues with the A.C and again noise. This time the bottle area where the laundry team use to put old bottles and bedding etc we could hear bottles being thrown all evening until turndown had been completed. All in all we had paid $18k dollars for accommodation only. And we're not as impressed as last time. Would be hesitant to return. Will try elsewhere next time. Our butler however was as amazing as always as were the staff, just let down by guests and also room issues.

Both family and couple orientated the place is just fantastic, despite some hiccups the overall is very good . Is very peaceful and the island(s) quite big so not easy to get bored. Sea life is vibrating and staff excellent. Many activities to do . Try stay in bungalows with pool. This will raise the quality a noch, that will definitively make your stay more pleasant.

So, let me tell you about our recent getaway to South Male Atoll - it was like stepping into a postcard. From the second we landed, it was all about those island vibes and clear blue waters.
Our digs were top-notch, I'm talking overwater villas and cozy beachfront bungalows with views that made us never want to leave. And don't even get me started on the snorkeling and diving - we swam with manta rays and checked out some seriously cool coral reefs.
But it wasn't just about the underwater action. On land, we had spa days, tried all the water sports, and chowed some seriously fresh seafood. And let's not forget about the locals—they were so welcoming and friendly that it felt like we'd known them for years.
Long story short, South Male Atoll is the ultimate chill spot. Whether you're into relaxation or adventure, there's something here for everyone. We left feeling totally refreshed and already planning our next trip back.

Very well organised - you are taken care of as soon as you arrive until the security at the airport. You don’t lift a finger, luggage is collected/delivered. Transfer by boat was very efficient - excellent service

The place is amazing, the watter and everything you seen in the photos and videos is exactly the same or even more beautiful.
Thake care about the UV solar power, on our stay was maximum on the scale and a 50 spf is highly recommended as with 30 spf you will get burned and believe me is happening so fast 🤦🏻♂️
The temperature is quite constant and even during the night is very hot.
Seaplane transfer can be quite expensive.
Definitely worth visiting at least once in a lifetime!

The water bungalow experience was fabulous; stepping down the bungalow steps straight into the sea and the reef area for snorkelling was amazing. There was so much underwater life to see.
Although the bungalows were a little tired and the bed was not the comfiest, we loved the experience. As they are semi detached, pray you don’t get a noisy couple next door!
The sunsets were stunning.

Our villa over the sea was amazing. A few steps down into crystal clear torquoise sea water. Snorkelling, even around the villas withy water depth of around 1m was exceptional. It is exactly as imagined and seen in videos of Maldives over the years. Paradise. Staff were fabulous and the entire resort fabulous. Restaurants and food could not be better either. Our "host" Ibrahim, was so helpful, courteous, knowledgeable and on call, 24/7 if needed. We will be back and we will ask for Ibrahim again.
Staff was always helpful, friendly and very polite. Our butler was amazing. We were welcomed at the airport immediately. When we arrived at the hotel, our butler had organized everything for us already. All of our dinners and activities were pre-booked. When we needed to change something, we just whatsapped our butler and he took care of it. The room was cleaned twice a day, our coffee machine broke and they changed the machine within 1 hour. 10/10 for the service and hospitality!
Everything is perfect
what most amazed me is the lagoon
the hotel has one of the best lagoons in the Maldives.
Wanna thank the duty manager Ahmmed for his excellence and professionalism toward his guests he really helped us in upgrading our room.
then I wanna thank our assigned butler Rajj for his speedy quick response and his lovely attitude, all around night and day he will available to serve and guide you.
the staff whom makes the resort the best hotel in the maldives
The warm welcome and send off message! The hotel prepared our room for our silver anniversary, with complimentary bottle of fizzy drink and a small gateaux.
Staff were responsive of requests made through the hotel app.
Breakfast was great, loved the eggs Benedict & mimosa drink. Very close to the Marina crossroads which had lots of restaurants including Hard Rock Cafe, a few shops including a minimart.
Would love to go again!
Location is great, 25 mins from airport by speed boat which makes it less hassle from taking a sea plane. Facilities are good, and the Water Villa with pool is superb ( Although we didn't have the chance to swim at the lagoon due to the windy weather). Leena from the check in staff was very helpful. My wife had a small emergency and the nurse Anil in the clinic was very supportive. All in all, it is a great resort
well , everything was on point . staff are amazing ( Reda , Ajay and Agra ) they were so nice and helpful and very very professional. food was amazing in everything single detail . I have been around in many resorts . but honestly they are different. they are exactly the meaning of how to be professional and friendly in the same time . Thank you guys . you made our vacation
Hotel was great, 3 islands, a lot of space to walk and feel isolated, even hotel was almost full. Location and beaches are magnificent, staff is friendly, cleaning rooms and providing tower and water change 2 times a day was very nice, diving center and house reef for snorkeling are great service too, has watersports, bars, everything you need.
When we arrived to the hotel Saukaina welcomed us graciously. After giving all the information about the hotel, she accompanied us to our room and she arranged a wonderful birthday present for me. We loved Hard Rock Cafe and there JL was perfect that’s why we ate there 2 times:) We liked to listen the group Deviate they are professionals.
Water bungalow was very comfortable, beautiful ocean view. enjoy sunrise and sundown from the balcony.
staff super friendly and helpful. good food. nice complimentary breakfast in the room. ocean view from the bathroom.
hotel staff went out of their way making a super fun new year’s eve party. everything very neat and clean.
Everything in Ozen Life was amazing epically the staff. try to look for Soodan who was cleaning our room and never make us asking for anything. Also, in the restaurant we met Saathiu who provide us with wonderful service everyday in the restaurant. I highly recommend to choose Ozen Life without even think of other resorts.
The Island and Reef are just amazing to do snorkel. The ambiance is calm and slowlife. The hotel is not luxurious but everything you need, maintaining the essence of the island and nature, which is amazing. The food buffet has a lot of variety and every day the theme changes, amazing grill and pasta.
I like Maldives in general, nothing special I can say about this hotel, unfortunately if traveler is first time traveling Maldives, he will not see the true Maldive vibe, more of a Turkey hotel vib
