Sun Siyam Resorts announces the successful launch of its new diving website, Sun Diving. The launch occurred during a two-day event at Sun Siyam Olhuveli on 28th and 29th November, 2024. The event brought together a lively group of diving enthusiasts, marine conservation advocates, and industry professionals. They gathered to celebrate the Maldives’ extraordinary underwater heritage and emphasize the critical role of sustainable diving practices.

The 30 years of continuous success of Sun Diving depend on our shared dedication to sustainability, and we are thrilled to have brought together a community of ocean lovers to support this mission.”

A New Era of Diving: Introducing Sun Diving

The new website introduces a groundbreaking feature: the first-ever illustrated dive maps created by DiverMonArt. These artistic maps offer a fresh and visually captivating perspective on dive sites at Sun Siyam Resorts. They blend creativity with functionality, enhancing the diving experience for both beginners and experts alike.

Moreover, the event provided a platform to unveil the new Sun Diving website. This innovative resource inspires and guides underwater explorers throughout various base locations in the Maldives at Sun Siyam Resorts. The website includes detailed dive site descriptions, eco-diving tips, and a gallery of breathtaking underwater photography. It reflects Sun Siyam Resorts’ commitment to showcasing the wonders of the Maldives while promoting ocean conservation.

Celebrating Sustainability and Adventure

The festivities began on the evening of 28th November, 2024, with Ocean Unveiled, a celebratory gala dinner under the stars, featuring marine-inspired storytelling. Guests enjoyed expertly crafted cocktails, exquisite cuisine, and a lively atmosphere as they gathered to commemorate the launch. Following this, the night concluded with A Night of Discovery, a marine-themed movie screening that left attendees inspired by the beauty and fragility of the underwater world.

On 29th November, 2024, the event shifted focus to conservation and adventure with the Dive for the Planet: Eco-Friendly Reef Adventure. Participants engaged in reef-cleaning dives and workshops led by expert instructors. These sessions fostered awareness of sustainable diving practices and the importance of protecting marine ecosystems. Additionally, beginners had the chance to dive, with introductory sessions offering a glimpse into the vibrant underwater landscapes of the Maldives.

As the Maldives continues to captivate the imaginations of divers worldwide, Sun Diving strives to play an active role in preserving its delicate marine ecosystems. By spotlighting sustainable diving practices, the resort aims to ensure these natural treasures are safeguarded for future generations to enjoy. Ultimately, this launch event marks the beginning of an exciting journey for divers and conservationists alike.

In the Maldives, summer isn’t just about white sands and turquoise waters. It’s about creating moments that stay with you long after the sun sets. This year, CROSSROADS Maldives makes sure those moments belong just as much to the kids as to the adults.

At Hard Rock Hotel Maldives and SAii Lagoon Maldives, part of the country’s first multi-island lifestyle destination, children don’t just tag along for the ride. Instead, they take center stage. With two vibrant seasonal programs in full swing, these resorts promise a summer packed with play, discovery, and creativity.

Kids Rock and Roll at Hard Rock Hotel Maldives

Starting 1st June 2025, Hard Rock Hotel Maldives brings back its exciting Camp-Cation for a fifth season. This immersive program welcomes kids and teens aged 4 to 17 to dive into a high-energy mix of activities where they can express themselves, try new things, and have loads of fun.

For example, participants paint, bake cookies, and take on aerial arts and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. They also garden, play music, and learn guitar. In addition, talent shows and dance parties invite them to perform and cheer each other on. Every session lets them shine in their own way.

By combining creativity with movement and music, Camp-Cation helps kids find their rhythm and build confidence. As a result, they walk away with new friendships and unforgettable memories in a stunning tropical setting.

SAii Lagoon Maldives Sparks Creativity and Adventure

Just across the lagoon, SAii Lagoon Maldives, Curio Collection by Hilton launches its seasonal kids’ program from 15th July to 15th September 2025. Like its sister property, this vibrant experience invites young guests to explore, play, and connect with the world around them through hands-on learning and exciting challenges.

Each day offers a new adventure. Kids compete in Amazing Race-style games, experiment with mocktail mixology, and dive into arts and crafts. Meanwhile, they move, create, and laugh their way through the summer.

Moreover, the resort recently added a Padel Tennis court, opened in March 2025, which gives children the chance to try a fun, fast-paced sport that’s gaining popularity across the globe.

For those drawn to the sea, young marine explorers can join snorkeling sessions and interactive ocean discovery classes, where trained instructors guide them through the magical underwater world of the Maldives. These hands-on activities not only entertain but also help kids develop a deep appreciation for marine life.

A Summer to Remember for the Whole Family

What sets these programs apart isn’t just their creativity. Rather, it’s their purpose. The resorts encourage kids to explore new interests, learn through play, and celebrate their talents. In turn, every moment supports their growth and helps them build joyful memories. At the same time, while the kids stay busy discovering, parents get to unwind, knowing their children are enjoying enriching, age-appropriate adventures in a safe and supportive environment.

In the end, CROSSROADS Maldives offers more than a beautiful holiday. It creates a place where families connect, where kids thrive, and where every summer moment tells a story worth remembering.
