Siyam World Maldives all inclusive: what it covers and what it leaves out Maldives water parkDoes it suit you?
5 pairs of hotels, and the guide tells you whether this one suits you.
I would ask for a Water Villa with Pool + Slide: 81 m² over the lagoon, with a private pool; 2 returning guests chose an overwater villa, one calling it a must. With children, the Beach Suite with Pool offers 102 m² on the beach.
In the calendar read on 12 October 2026 the lowest week is 1 to 7 May 2027, from $872 to $958 a night. From 28 December 2026 to 3 January 2027 a night costs $1,632 to $1,674.
On WOW All-Inclusive, one meal per person in a meal period is included, with one starter, one main course and one dessert. Additional items are charged.
Specialty restaurants need a pre-booking on the plan; 3 guests, writing between September 2025 and July 2026, found them booked up or advise reserving ahead, and 2 had a member of staff book a table for them.
It opened on 28 October 2021 on a natural island in Noonu Atoll (Dreaming of Maldives, official site). The island covers 54 hectares, according to the official destination page, read on 15 October 2026. There are 468 villas in 16 types, every one with a pool: 291 over the water, with a slide down into the lagoon, and 177 on the beach, from 80 m² Pool Beach Villas to 4-bedroom residences of 712 m² (factsheet).
WOW All-Inclusive runs around the clock: breakfast at Baraabaru or Tempo, lunch at 4 venues, dinner at the buffet or one of 6 restaurants, from Takrai, the Thai, to Kurry Leaf, the Indian, and Kulhivaru, a sports bar open day and night. It covers 100 wines and 100 cocktails across 8 bars, a choice between the 3 listed cruises, the water park, non-motorised watersports and $50 of spa credit per adult per stay (WOW All-Inclusive).
The 2021 launch report describes a 2,580 m² floating park for ages 6 and up, with slides, trampolines, a tower and a 3.2-metre springboard (Dreaming of Maldives). The island also has a Marwari horse ranch, an electric go-kart track, electric Mokes to rent and a full-size football pitch (official site, factsheet).
On Google the resort scores 4.7 out of 5 from 2,746 reviews, on Tripadvisor 4.9 from 6,500, read on 4 and 5 October 2026. Guests praise the staff and the choice of restaurants (Google). WOW All-Inclusive covers one meal per person per sitting, and the island, with 468 villas, is busy at every hour.
Lumina Guide 2027
Siyam World is a big island in Noonu Atoll where nobody is left without something to do: 468 villas, a floating water park in the lagoon and an all-inclusive that never closes.
How we choose the hotelsAmong Siyam World’s regulars, 4 say it gets better each time, and one has had the same ambassador 3 years running. A guest on a third visit, writing in April 2025, flew into Malé at night, slept near the airport and took an early seaplane to reach the resort in the morning.
From the 1,476 Google reviews with text written between August 2022 and October 2026.
What we found reading the hotel’s own pages, one thing at a time.
40 minutes by seaplane; a big island with long beaches and the reef reachable in places.
A lively resort, with parties, acrobats and a bar that never shuts.
468 pool villas in 16 types, from 80 to 712 m²; the smallest are compact.
Over 20 venues; the all-inclusive covers 6 restaurants, 8 bars and the 24-hour Kulhivaru.
Veyo Spa in the jungle with Thalgo and Ayurveda, sauna and steam room; $50 of credit per adult per stay.
From $993 to $1,330 a night for 2, all-inclusive with taxes, in the stays read on Google.
A badge is an experience travellers look for, that is really here and that few hotels in the guide have.
Here: Kidz World takes children from 3 to 11 and is covered by the all-inclusive; twice a month the Kidz Carnival takes over the beach.
204 of the 226 guests who write about the children are pleased. 8 hotels of 335 hold it.
Every hotel with this badgeHere: dinner is a choice of 6 restaurants on the all-inclusive: Thai at Takrai and Indian at Kurry Leaf, both over the water, Spanish at Andalucia, The Wahoo Grill, Italian at Del Mare and Maldivian at Kaage.
From the hotel’s restaurant pages. 30 hotels of 335 hold it.
Every hotel with this badgeWhat do Siyam World’s guests say? They write it in their reviews, even those who only came for a drink or dinner: we read every one and tell the 5 things that matter, from the location to the bill.
Nearly every guest who mentions it is happy with it. Guests write about the turquoise lagoon, the long beaches and a big island they cross by buggy at any hour.
9 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Large, clean villas, each with its own pool; the ones with a slide into the lagoon are the most written about.
9 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. The staff are praised in nearly every review, often by name: the villa hosts, the waiters, the buggy drivers.
7 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Breakfast is the buffet at Tempo, on the beach, or Baraabaru with its live cooking; guests also remember the floating breakfast.
5 in 10 guests who mention the price find it fair. Guests who find the bill fair talk about the WOW All-Inclusive: restaurants included without a supplement, the water park, non-motorised water sports.
| What | Score out of 10 | Guests who mention it | Happy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Location | 9.0 | 168 | 95% |
| Room | 8.5 | 154 | 93% |
| Staff and service | 9.2 | 461 | 94% |
| Breakfast | 7.2 | 34 | 74% |
| Price | – | 51 | 45% |
The scores come from 500 Google reviews with text, left from 27 June 2025 to 4 October 2026. The other hotels are the ones weighed for a stay in the Maldives: for each we read its latest 500 Google reviews with text, or all of them where there are fewer, as of 5 October 2026. The score is the average of what they say, from 0 if they speak of it very badly to 10 if they speak of it very well. Where only a few mention something, the score stays close to the guide’s average: a handful of voices does not make a reputation.
The hotels we weigh it against in the Maldives:
Price: for two on the night of 4 May 2027, from $958 (seen on Google Hotels on 12 October 2026).
