Day 1 of the Maldives has been incredible so far, other than the awful sea plane which I would quite frankly rather swim the 174km back to male than get back on 🙂 just kidding (kinda). Siyam world staff were so welcoming playing the drums when we first arrived on the island and it immediately made up for the long flights!

The resort has 5 different restaurants included in the all inclusive, there’s one buffet & four specialty restaurants. Today I ate at the Wahoo grill for lunch (a Maldivian Grill), where I had a prawn cocktail for starter and pork medallions for main, the medallions were definitely worth going back for. Then for Dinner we went to Andaluica which is the islands Spanish themed restaurant, for a starter I tried the octopus carpaccio which I personally wouldn’t have again. However, the scallops starter with salmon caviar was unbelievable *chefs kiss*. As a main I had the reef fish fillet with prawns, and if I hadn’t of eaten an entire fried prawn head by accident this would have also been an excellent choice.

The view from our villa is truly gorgeous, the sea is crystal clear with the infinity pool looking out over, perfect to watch the sunset with a glass of wine in the early evening. An added bonus would definitely be the water slide which takes you directly from the decking into the ocean.

The sea life so far is impressive! We’ve seen reef sharks, sting rays & so many tropical fish in just a day! I can’t wait to explore more of the island & take in everything this gorgeous resort has to offer!
