Sun Siyam, a luxurious brand that has always stood out from the list of high-profiled resorts, is no stranger to giving that wow-factor. From outstanding resorts to their highly-appreciated services, Sun Siyam is famous for breaking norms and achieving the unexpected. Quite recently, the brand has made headlines once again for the unveiling of their new branded seaplane!
This new luxury aircraft has a one-of-a-kind exterior that incorporates visual elements common to Maldivian culture, such as patterns found on traditional Libaas, stylized descriptions of the 'Fattaru bai' (gold medallions traditionally worn with the libaas), and meticulously hand-carved patterns found in Liyelaa jehun – lacquered, hand-wrought containers or bowls originally crafted to be presented to the sultan, other royalty.
The design and idea were created and brought to life by local talents who work at the company, affectionately dubbed Kamana, which means lady in Maldivian. The team wanted to bring this concept to life by showcasing traditional and beautiful Maldivian art on a visually compelling platform, such as a branded seaplane, since Sun Siyam is a 100% Maldivian owned company.
Kamana will transport passengers from Velana International Airport to Sun Siyam Iru Fushi, as well as to their newest property, Siyam World, which offers never-before-seen experiences. Sun Siyam Resorts has elevated their already seamless guest transfer experience to even greater heights, providing a level of exclusive services that only industry-leading giants can offer, thanks to Kamana and their world-class lounge.
