Fear Has Never Looked So Good: Sun Siyam Unleashes Halloween Across the Maldives

Some islands do all-inclusive. Siyam World Maldives takes it to a whole different level. And now, there is an award to prove it. Siyam World Maldives, part of the Lifestyle Collection at Sun Siyam, has been named Indian Ocean’s Leading All-Inclusive Resort at the 2026 AHA Asia Hotel Awards, held recently in Bangkok, Thailand. The recognition celebrates the resort's distinctive approach to island holidays, where exceptional dining, endless adventures and the freedom to experience the Maldives your own way come together under one rather impressive all-inclusive umbrella.

Because at Siyam World, all-inclusive was never meant to be ordinary.

At the heart of the experience is the resort's signature WOW! 24-hour All-Inclusive concept, taking the traditional all-inclusive holiday well beyond the buffet. With over 20 restaurants and bars across the island, guests can embark on a culinary journey around the world, with six specialty restaurants included in the dinner dine-around experience. From authentic Thai flavours at Takrai and Spanish favourites at Andalucia to Indian cuisine at Kurry Leaf, Italian classics at Del Mare, Maldivian dishes at Kaage and beachfront dining at The Wahoo Grill, there is always something new on the menu.

And the good times do not stop when dinner ends. The WOW! package includes an extensive selection of premium beverages, champagne, wines, cocktails and spirits across participating bars, while Kulhivaru keeps the refreshments and snacks flowing around the clock. Add leisurely breakfasts, relaxed lunches, afternoon tea and a complimentary in-villa minibar, and guests have plenty of reasons to leave their wallets behind.

But the real WOW! goes far beyond food and drinks.

Guests can make a splash with unlimited complimentary access to the Maldives' largest floating waterpark, take to the ocean with included non-motorised water sports such as kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding and windsurfing, or discover the surrounding Noonu Atoll through a choice of included excursions, from sunset cruises and snorkelling safaris to local island experiences.

Back on land, the adventures continue with complimentary access to tennis, padel, badminton, football and other sports facilities, alongside fitness classes, wellness activities, live entertainment and the colourful world of Kidz World for younger guests. There is even a USD 50 spa credit per adult per stay, adding a little extra relaxation to the mix.

And that is before exploring some of Siyam World's most unexpected attractions. The Maldives' first in-resort horse ranch, an electric go-kart track, overwater villas with private slides and a full-size football pitch are just a few of the experiences that have made this island anything but conventional. With 470 villas across 16 categories, from romantic overwater retreats to expansive family residences, Siyam World offers plenty of room to play, explore and make the holiday entirely your own.

The award was presented at the AHA Asia Hotel Awards ceremony in Bangkok, the first overseas edition following the awards' evolution from the CHA China Hotel Awards. Representing Sun Siyam were Ashley Zhang, Regional PR & Marketing Manager, and Ma Wenlong, Regional Marketing Director for Greater China and South Asia, who accepted the recognition on behalf of the group.

“At Siyam World, we have always believed that all-inclusive should mean much more than simply having everything taken care of. It should be about giving our guests the freedom to experience more, discover something new every day and enjoy the Maldives in their own way. From our diverse dining experiences and endless activities to the unexpected adventures that make Siyam World so different, we wanted to create a place where there is truly something for everyone. This award is a wonderful recognition of that vision and, most importantly, of the incredible team that brings it to life every day.”

And with the festive season just around the corner, the celebrations are only getting started. From 15 December 2026 to 7 January 2027, Siyam World will bring The Age of Legends to life, transforming the island into a world of fantasy, adventure and larger-than-life celebrations. Inspired by legendary kingdoms and epic tales, the festive programme will feature spectacular performances, family adventures, Christmas celebrations and an unforgettable New Year's Eve. Football fans can also look forward to special appearances by former Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidić and former AC Milan striker Alessandro Matri, bringing a little sporting legend to the island.

An award-winning all-inclusive escape, endless experiences and a festive season straight out of a storybook? Sounds like a pretty good reason to start planning the next holiday.
