Fishing
To let you make acquainted with the Maldivian way of life and customs, we organize a number of excursions to the neighboring islands where the centuries old culture and simple life style still remain unchanged. Since time immemorial, the Maldivians have relied on fish as a basic food item for its inhabitants. Not surprisingly, per capita consumption of fish in the Maldives is one of the highest in the world, and fish is the main source of protein for the inhabitants of the archipelago. Fishing is done from dhonis, wooden boats of excellent craftsmanship. It is manned by a crew of eight to ten men or sometimes fourteen. Dhivehis (Maldivians) go fishing everyday when the weather permits, except Fridays. On Fridays they beach the boats and service them, taking time out for noon prayers. Dhivehis like to eat tuna fish and sometimes reef fish. The traditional fishing practiced by the Maldivians is an art by itself that has evolved over the centuries.
Diving
The Diving School of Sun Island is located on a small island connected by a wide jetty to the resort. The Diving School is about 30m wide and 12 m deep. Two dry rooms, one A/C classroom, one non-A/C classroom, Two equipment rooms, workshop, compressor room with three Bauer K14 Vertical III compressors, two dry rooms, four showers, four toilets, eight changing rooms and lockers are available.

Hello Neighbors
This short tour takes you to a local island where you will learn that despite the fact that Maldivians live in small different island communities, they share the same culture which is unique to this island nation.

Также на территории отеля расположены:
    – 2 основных ресторана (шведский стол) – один из которых предназначен для водных вилл, другой для наземных, но гости могут обслуживаться в обоих по предпочтению, – – 5 баров и кофе-шоп, окруженные ярким пейзажем
    – для тех, кто желает разнообразить питание есть 3 ресторана a la carte, в том числе ресторан для вегетарианцев с экологически чистой и полезной кухней, где есть возможность самим приготовить еду из овощей и фруктов растущих в саду-огороде…

    Флагман среди отелей бюджетного плана Sun Island Resort & SPA располагается на одном из самых больших резорт-островов на Мальдивах. Трансфер из аэропорта Велана не займет много времени что является плюсом после долгого международного перелета.
    Номерной фонд отеля насчитывает 462 комнаты, довольно простого дизайна, из последних обновлений – с ноября прошлого года начали раздавать wi-fi. Первые 2 категории standart/superior beach bungalow расположены в блоках по 2-4 номера, что является отличным вариантом для больших семей. Категория Sun villa в блоках из 4 номеров расположена в удаление от пляжной линии, но за счет этого и огромным плюсом является спокойная и умиротворенная атмосфера среди потрясающей тропической зелени. Некоторые бывшие standart beach bungalow были преобразованы в sunset villa, категория, которая является одной из самых уютных на острове. Также для размещения гостей имеются водные бунгало с отдельным главным рестораном, выделенным для данной категории номеров. Другой главный ресторан ориентирован на гостей проживающих в пляжных категориях. Плюс 3 a la carte ресторана a la carte, один из которых ориентирован на экологически чистую и полезную кухню.
    Sun Island является активным, по мальдивским меркам, резортом с широким выбором наземных и водных видов спорта. Для перемещения по большому по площади острову к услугам гостей предоставляются велосипеды в аренду (5$++). Хорошая разнообразная развлекательная программа для взрослых и детей.
    Отель для всех категорий отдыхающих. Соотношение цена-качество подтверждается высоким процентом повторных гостей отеля.

    Sun Island is a good resort for families and young people, who would like to have activities such sharks, sting reys, mantas wathching.

    Every evening there is a program in the hotel such as disco, some shows etc.
    Food has a good quality and choice.

    Also there is a renovation of the rooms going on, one by one, and they are building a new big kids club which has to be ready by November. This hotel is going to open the same water park like the one in Siyam World.

    Be attentive: the entrance to the ocean isn’t smooth everywhere, only opposite rooms numbers 200, close to other rooms better to use coral shoes.

    The hotel opened the new room type which is Lagoon Beach. Beach Pool Villas and Beach Swirpool are also renovated. These 2 rooms type could be interconnected.

    Big green island. The hotel is perfect for its segment in the market. Most of the rooms have already been renovated. The rooms are bright, comfortable – everything you need is in the room. The beaches are clean with small coral chips. But it is better to use special shoes. Recommend for family vacation. Great restaurants, great food. Sharks and rays are fed at the hotel in the evenings. Friendly and professional staff. Yes – business center, conference hall, spa center, swimming pool, sports center, shops

    Villa Park Resort and SPA 5*(ex Sun Island) is an amazing and well known property with a great house reef (especially for diving) and beaches. The color of the water is crystal blue, and the island looks like “Bounty” island. 

    It’s a big island located 25min away from the airport by airplane. After the flight you need to go to resort by speedboat, which will take around 6-8min.

    The resort is famous for its large variety of activities and entertainment programs. It’s really great for families and active people. Here you can find all kinds of water sports, tennis, football, volleyball, golf, billiards, badminton, dance classes, yoga, pilates. Spa center is really big and it has a large variety of procedures and Ayurveda treatments.
    In the evenings there are different shows, live music bands and disco. For children there is a great choice of different activities and classes. The most spectacular show here: you can see a lot of fish coming for feeding here. It’s not only sharks and stingrays. Even mantas are coming here during the evenings. Guests can enjoy 11 dining options including 6 restaurants, 1 coffee shop and 5 bars. The quality of food is good and you always have enough options to choose for yourself.

    This hotel is great for couples as well as for families, here you can find some rooms with enough privacy like a Deluxe Beach Villa with pool, for example. The ocean and the views are spectacular. I think this hotel may be a good option for summer holidays. I’m pretty sure that everyone can have great vacations in summer in the Maldives. The prices are going down in summer, there are good special offers for guests, and the weather is usually good.
