Sun Siyam Vilu Reef Maldives has launched its new Ocean Signature Villas with Pool and Slide, adding 50 overwater accommodations to the resort.

The collection includes 48 one-bedroom villas and two two-bedroom villas.

The new villas feature private pools, 11-metre water slides, overwater hammocks and outdoor decks overlooking the lagoon.

Interiors include open-plan living spaces, integrated pantries, dressing areas, en-suite bathrooms with freestanding bathtubs and dual vanities, and separate entertainment facilities in each bedroom.

The two-bedroom option is designed for families and groups.

The project represents the resort's largest villa upgrade in recent years.

Sun Siyam partnered with London-based interior design firm Studio Sixty7, led by founders and creative directors Lee McNichol and Jose Rivero, for the redesign.

According to the resort, the interiors draw inspiration from the Maldives' natural environment, incorporating soft curves, natural textures and contemporary design elements.

The new accommodation expands the resort's overwater offering for couples, families and other travellers seeking larger, modern villa options.

"Sun Siyam Vilu Reef is where the Sun Siyam story began, so this moment is especially meaningful for us. As we enter a new chapter, our focus remains simple: creating exceptional experiences while staying true to the warmth and hospitality that define who we are,” said Ahmed Siyam Mohamed, Founder, Chairman and Managing Director of Sun Siyam.

"Studio Sixty7’s vision for this new luxury overwater villa in the Maldives balances calm minimalism with bold expression. White timber-paneled walls create a light, serene backdrop, contrasted by a deep blue ceiling that reflects the richness of the surrounding ocean. Arched ceiling details guide movement through the space, echoed in the soft, curved forms of the bespoke timber joinery. Recessed lighting is seamlessly integrated to enhance the architecture, casting a warm, subtle glow. Locally made artwork adds depth and authenticity, grounding the design in its Maldivian context. The result is a refined, immersive escape at that feels both tranquil and distinctive." said Lee McNichol and Jose Rivero, Founders of Studio Sixty7.

“Our goal was to create something truly beyond exceptional. Working alongside award-winning creative minds, we are debuting a series of overwater signature villas that possess a completely renewed soul and appearance," said Masdhooq Saeed, Cluster General Manager of Sun Siyam Vilu Reef and Sun Siyam Iru Veli. "These overwater villas are entirely unique to the Maldives, offering a diverse range of grand sizes and rare structural layouts. Each is meticulously designed to serve as an immersive, luxurious sanctuary where avant-garde design meets the timeless beauty of the surrounding ocean.” -TradeArabia News Service
