This accolade makes it the only resort in the Maldives to enter the world's top 10 this year — a historic moment not just for the property, but for the destination as a whole.

Additionally, Siyam World racked up an incredible string of wins, positioning itself as one of the very best in the global travel scene:

#10 Best Hotel in the World

#4 Top Hotel in Asia

#2 Best All-Inclusive Hotel in the World

#1 Top All-Inclusive Hotel in the Maldives

#1 Top All-Inclusive Hotel in Asia

These accolades place Siyam World not just in the top 1% of Tripadvisor's listings worldwide, but in an elite league of experience-led resorts shaking up the luxury travel playbook.

As the world's largest travel advice platform, TripAdvisor is a trusted source with travellers. This award is based on genuine feedback from anyone in the community who has visited and left an authentic, first-hand review on TripAdvisor over a 12-month period, making it a valuable and trustworthy designation of travellers' favourites.

Sara Siyam, Director of Marketing at Sun Siyam Resorts, said: “We're beyond honoured to be ranked #10 in TripAdvisor's Top 25 Hotels in the World!
From day one, our dedicated team has gone above and beyond to create unforgettable experiences, always striving to give our guests every reason to return. Constant innovation, authentically Maldivian hospitality and service and an unwavering commitment to delivering unforgettable moments and experiences have been at the heart of our journey. A heartfelt thank you to our incredible team for their passion and perseverance, and to our amazing guests whose support and votes brought us this global recognition. You've helped put us on the world map, and we're just getting started.”

This landmark success is a tribute to the brilliant minds and passionate hearts behind Siyam World and reflects the drive, dedication, and relentless creativity of the whole team.

Ausy Waseem, Resort Manager at Siyam World commented: “This means a lot to us. We didn't set out to create the flashiest or most luxurious resort, that's not who we are. We wanted Siyam World to feel real, to give guests a true taste of the Maldives, but also something they've never seen before. It was about experiences and memories, not just fancy things. We dared to do things differently, and seeing the world embrace that is really special. A big thank you to Mr. Ahmed Siyam Mohamed for his vision and for believing in us, without his faith and passion, none of this would have been possible. Our VP of Operations at Sun Siyam, Abdulla Thamheed,  played a significant role in Siyam Worlds win as well. This is a proud moment for the whole team and for everyone who believed in this game changer in the Maldives.”

Opened in late 2021, Siyam World has changed perceptions on what it means to holiday in the Maldives. Set across a natural 54-hectare island in Noonu Atoll, this wildly imaginative, all-inclusive resort is anything but traditional. With its never-been-done and unique-to-the-Maldives experiences, its diverse dining and accommodation offerings, or its WOW! All-Inclusive concept, Siyam World lets guests forget limitations and dive head-first into a world of wonder.
