South Ari Atoll is known as one of the most stunning atolls in the Maldives, with an incredible concentration of whale sharks, spectacular white sand and endless teal waters. Sun Island is located near the edge of the atoll, giving guests easy access to whale shark excursions that often center around the outer reefs where you’re more likely to find them.

The island is massive and completely natural, with stunning white sand beaches around the entire length of it and endless blue, swimmable water. While currents exist near the sandbar point, the rest of the lagoon is calm and wonderful. This was our 14th property in the Maldives and I can truly say the lagoon took our breath away.

Sun Island, similar to Paradise Island, is slowly undergoing renovations to modernize and update the property. Sun Island has 462 rooms and currently the Beach Villas with Whirlpool, Beach Pool Villas and Deluxe Beach Pool Villas are the only renovated room types. We were booked into the Beach Pool Villa which shares a wall with the Beach Villa with Whirlpool. Only the Deluxe rooms do not share a wall.

The other room types are not yet renovated, but they expect to finish them in the next year. I would personally recommend booking the Deluxe Beach Villa instead of the standard pool villas because the shared wall is extremely thin. We had a family next to us, which was a less than ideal situation, particularly if you’re a honeymooning couple or looking for some romantic solitude. If you are looking for quiet, I would stick to the Deluxe villas that do not share a wall with a neighboring room. The only exception is if you are booking two rooms then it’s a fantastic choice to book the Beach Pool Villa combined with the Beach Villa with a Whirlpool for the whole family to enjoy.

Overall, the renovation has really upped the style of the rooms. We love the colors and the design and they really work well with the blues of the picturesque view just outside.

Overall, Sun Island is an incredible and aweinspiring location with a resort that has a lot of potential. The size of the island, alone, is incredibly impressive and makes for an amazing experience to explore every nook and cranny, from the massive sand bar to the perfect swimming lagoons. While the service and style leave a lot to be desired, the resort has tremendous opportunity for success and we cannot wait to experience it postrenovation. At the end of the day, the views, lagoon and perfect swimming beaches are truly what the Maldives is all about.
