Sun Siyam Vilu Reef, the first resort in the Sun Siyam group (it opened in 1998), has introduced two new venues: YAYA Beach Club and an Italian restaurant called Tuscany, Travel Trade Maldives reports. They follow a refresh of the resort's villas earlier this year.

YAYA Beach Club

YAYA is the first of a new beach club concept that Sun Siyam plans to roll out as a signature experience across its resorts. It runs from 10:30 to 19:00 each day, starting with speciality coffee and moving on to smoothies, spritzes, sharing plates, beach games and a sunset ritual with music and cocktails. Everyone is welcome until 17:00, after which it becomes adults-only. Food is served at lunch only. The resort also plans a monthly Full Moon Soirée.

Tuscany

Tuscany serves dinner daily from 18:30 to 21:30, with fresh pasta and familiar Italian dishes in a relaxed setting. Guests can dine there once during their stay, and return visits come with 50 per cent off food.

Launched at the anniversary

Both venues debuted during the resort's 28th anniversary programme from 28 to 30 October, themed "A New Rhythm of the Reef". It included international DJs and a culinary residency by Chef Fatjon Goga, who leads Osteria Grande in Arezzo, Italy, with a signature dinner and a pasta masterclass.
