While piloted at Vilu Reef, the apprenticeship will expand across Sun Siyam’s five properties in the Maldives and Sri Lanka. Separate from the group’s sustainability-driven Sun Siyam Cares platform, the programme highlights an ongoing commitment to talent development and career pathways for local youth.

Since opening its first resort in 1998, Sun Siyam Resorts has expanded its luxury portfolio to include six private-island properties across the Maldives and Sri Lanka, each blending Maldivian warmth with distinctive guest experiences.

Sun Siyam Vilu Reef features 103 villas, beachfront and overwater, with private pools, lush vegetation, a vibrant coral house reef, plus water sports and wellness facilities including a spa, beachside infinity pool, kids’ club, multiple dining options and cultural experiences.
