Dream Island Unveiled: Sun Siyam Olhuveli’s New Culinary Hub
Sun Siyam Olhuveli has reinforced its position in lifestyle hospitality with the grand launch of three new dining and social venues on Dream Island: Milano, Olive Bar, and Crust & Flame. Conceptualized by the award-winning Studio Sixty7, these venues introduce a refined contemporary coastal European aesthetic to the Maldives, instantly establishing Dream Island as the resort’s newest culinary, entertainment, and social hub.
This strategic development is crucial for travel partners, offering a thoughtful blend of refined design, effortless island living, and community-driven experiences-appealing to modern travellers who prioritize atmosphere and sociability. The resort now boasts more than 20 restaurants and bars, ensuring an incredibly diverse dining landscape.
Three Distinct Coastal European Experiences
Studio Sixty7’s vision was to create spaces that feel like a “gentle exhale”-warm, textured, and subtly referencing European coastal landscapes.
| Venue Name | Concept & Atmosphere | Culinary Focus & Key Feature |
| Milano | Relaxed yet refined Italian coastal aesthetic; intimate, romantic atmosphere with woven pendant lighting. | Authentic Italian Dining, Handmade Pasta, traditional sauces, Wood-Fired Specialties. Open kitchen with olive-green palette. |
| Olive Bar | The social pulse of Dream Island; transforms from a relaxed day lounge to a vibrant nightlife spot. | Refreshments, Acoustic Performances, Cultural Acts, DJ Sets. Features flexible lounge seating and abundant greenery. |
| Crust & Flame | Laid-back, beachside comfort with “toes-in-the-sand” dining. | Artisanal Brick-Oven Pizzas and contemporary comfort dishes. Features a striking emerald-and-sage terrazzo pizza oven. |
Design Philosophy and Resort Vision
The design philosophy focused on craftsmanship-led design using natural textures, off-white plaster, and an olive-green palette, achieving a soulful atmosphere that encourages guests to naturally settle into the experience.
General Manager Hassan Adil highlighted the vision: “Our goal was to craft an environment where visitors immediately sense the rhythm of island life, relaxed yet social, with a consistently positive energy.” The additions reinforce Sun Siyam Olhuveli’s evolution toward contemporary lifestyle hospitality and its unique ability to encourage connection and enjoyment.
