Male’, Maldives -12th June 2026 – Sun Siyam Iru Fushi has added another accolade to its growing list of achievements, securing the Hotel Suite Interiors – Maldives award at the renowned International Property Awards Asia Pacific. The recognition celebrates the resort’s newly redesigned Deluxe Water Villa, highlighting a thoughtful approach to hospitality design that blends contemporary elegance with the natural beauty of the Maldives.
Presented in Bangkok, the International Property Awards are regarded as one of the industry’s most respected honours, recognising excellence in architecture, interior design, and real estate development across the Asia-Pacific region. Judged by an independent panel of leading experts, the awards spotlight projects that demonstrate exceptional creativity, innovation, and quality.
The award-winning villa redesign at Sun Siyam Iru Fushi was conceived in collaboration with acclaimed London-based interior design firm Studio Sixty7. Together, the teams have created a refined living space that embraces the essence of island life, drawing inspiration from the surrounding lagoon, ocean horizons, and the relaxed rhythm of the Maldives.
Located within the pristine waters of Noonu Atoll, Sun Siyam Iru Fushi is widely recognised as one of the Maldives’ premier island retreats. The resort’s latest design evolution reflects a growing emphasis on creating meaningful guest experiences through thoughtful architecture and interiors. Soft, natural palettes, textured finishes, and handcrafted details define the new aesthetic, while open-plan layouts maximise uninterrupted views of the turquoise lagoon
Each redesigned villa has been carefully curated to foster a sense of tranquillity and connection with nature. Spacious bathrooms overlook the ocean, while expansive outdoor decks feature suspended hammocks and inviting lounging areas that encourage guests to slow down and immerse themselves in their surroundings. Selected villa categories also offer private pools and intimate outdoor spaces designed for peaceful mornings and spectacular sunsets.
The recognition marks the first phase of a broader transformation taking place across the resort. Rather than imposing a contemporary style, the design concept seeks to complement the island’s character, creating interiors that feel authentic, timeless, and deeply rooted in place.
Beyond its celebrated accommodation, Sun Siyam Iru Fushi continues to deliver an extensive range of experiences, including 15 dining and bar venues, an award-winning spa offering more than 165 treatments, personalised butler service, and access to some of the region’s most remarkable diving sites.
This latest international accolade further reinforces the Maldives’ reputation as a destination where world-class hospitality and inspired design come together, with Sun Siyam Iru Fushi standing as a shining example of both.
