For as long as I can remember, one dream has remained constant in my heart – the desire to experience the luxurious bliss of staying in an over water villa in the Maldives. The captivating images of these enchanting villas, seemingly floating above crystal-clear turquoise waters, had been etched in my mind for over a decade. Finally, the stars aligned, and I embarked on a journey to fulfill this long-awaited dream of staying in an over water villa at Siyam World, a paradise nestled in the heart of the Maldives.
Over Water Villa at Siyam World
The Moment of Arrival
Upon arriving at Siyam World, I was warmly welcomed with traditional Maldivian hospitality, and my heart raced with anticipation as I made my way to my over water villa.
As a special surprise, we were given our own transportation during the stay – a Moke, a symbol of carefree exploration that perfectly complements the laid-back Maldivian vibe. Their unique design features an open-air structure, which allows passengers to bask in the sun and feel the refreshing ocean breeze as they drive around the island. Imagine cruising along the palm-fringed roads of Siyam World Maldives, your hair blowing in the wind, and panoramic views of the azure ocean surrounding you.
I was already living my list and I hadn’t even reached the villa.
The Over Water Villa Experience
As I stepped onto the deck of my over water villa, reality seemed to merge with a dream. The sheer beauty of the surroundings was surreal. The villa was elegantly designed, featuring rustic-chic décor with modern amenities.
Waking up to the gentle sound of waves lapping against the stilts and the sight of the sun rising over the horizon was an experience that words cannot adequately describe. Every moment spent in that villa was pure magic, and I found myself in awe of the breathtaking vistas that stretched out before me.
Water Slide and Infinity Pool
One of my favorite moments of arriving at the over water villa was seeing the water slide spiraling down from the deck into the glistening waters below. Instantly, I felt an infectious surge of excitement, and the child within me couldn’t wait to take the plunge. Climbing to the top of the slide, I felt a mix of nerves and exhilaration, but as I descended, the rush of pure joy washed over me.
Time seemed to stand still as I repeatedly slid down, my laughter echoing across the sea. It was a euphoric experience that reminded me of the simple pleasures of life and how embracing our inner child can truly make any moment magical.
The centerpiece of the villa was undoubtedly the private infinity pool, seemingly merging with the sea horizon. The pool’s azure waters were so inviting that I couldn’t resist dipping my toes in right away. The rhythmic sound of water flowing from the infinity edge added to the tranquil ambiance, making it the ideal spot for relaxation and rejuvenation.
The Life Aquatic
My stay at Siyam World was filled with water-based activities and I didn’t even need to leave my villa. Snorkeling and swimming among the coral reefs revealed marine life, including colorful fish, gentle sharks, and majestic sea turtles. The underwater world seemed to have stepped out of a National Geographic documentary, and I was living my own version of it.
As I stepped onto the sun-kissed terrace of my overwater villa, I couldn’t help but marvel at the crystal-clear waters teeming with vibrant marine life. Armed with snorkeling gear provided by the resort, I dipped into the warm embrace of the Indian Ocean right from my villa’s private deck. The underwater world that unfurled before me was nothing short of magic. I swam alongside shoals of tropical fish, spotted graceful sea turtles gliding effortlessly, and encountered enchanting coral formations that painted the ocean floor with splendor. The convenience of snorkeling at my doorstep meant that I could leisurely explore these awe-inspiring sights whenever I pleased, savoring every moment at my own pace.
Sunrises, Sunsets, and Stargazing: A Feast for the Senses
The Maldives is renowned for its breathtaking sunrises and sunsets, and from my villa’s deck, I had a front-row seat to this daily spectacle.
Every morning, as the warm rays of the sun gently caressed my face, I was reminded of how fortunate I was to be experiencing such an awe-inspiring sight.
The air was filled with a gentle salty breeze, carrying the essence of the ocean. It was a harmonious symphony of senses, making me feel connected to nature in its purest form.
The sky above me was a canvas of colors, beginning with deep shades of purple and blue that slowly gave way to vibrant hues of pink and orange. The clouds danced playfully across the horizon, eager to witness the grand entrance of the sun. The water below mirrored the sky above, creating a seamless blend of two worlds – one above and one below. It’s as if I was floating between the heavens and the sea, suspended in time.
As the sun inched closer to revealing itself, the surrounding overwater villas begin to glow in its soft, golden light. Each bungalow seemed to awaken with life, just like the rest of the island, ready to embrace the new day.
The nighttime experience was equally enchanting.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, the sky transformed into a canvas of fiery hues, painting the ocean with shades of orange, pink, and purple. Witnessing this natural marvel was an intimate moment that will forever hold a special place in my heart.
The absence of light pollution allowed the stars to shine brilliantly in the clear night sky. I found myself in awe of the vastness of the universe and felt a deep sense of connection to the cosmos.
My stay in an over water villa at Siyam World in the Maldives was an unforgettable journey that transcended my wildest dreams. Crossing this experience off my bucket list after a decade of longing was incredibly rewarding, and I will forever cherish the memories of my time in this paradise on Earth.
If you’re considering a similar adventure, I cannot recommend the Maldives and Siyam World enough. The sheer luxury, natural beauty, and unparalleled experiences await those who seek an escape from the ordinary and a taste of paradise.
