Sun Siyam Vilu Reef, part of Sun Siyam’s Privé Collection, unveils an expanded portfolio of water-based experiences designed to highlight the natural beauty and vibrant marine life of its surrounding atolls. Thoughtfully curated to combine energy, exploration and moments of calm, the new offerings invite guests to experience the Maldives from a fresh perspective. Building on its popular Jet Car, SeaBob and windsurfing activities, the resort now enhances its watersports programme with private speedboat journeys and bespoke marine excursions, each tailored for small groups seeking meaningful ocean encounters.

Private Speedboat Journeys

Available daily from the Watersports Centre, the new private speedboat experiences provide an intimate way to discover the hidden gems of Dhaalu Atoll. Designed for one to four guests, each excursion ensures flexibility, personalised attention and access to some of the region’s most captivating marine locations. Guests may choose from four hour, five hour or full day itineraries, all complemented by a freshly prepared BBQ lunch. From colourful coral gardens to untouched sandbanks, each journey reveals the Maldives in its most authentic and captivating form.

The Signature Full Day Adventure

At the heart of the programme is the Full Day Adventure Trip, an immersive exploration of Vaavu Atoll’s most iconic marine sites. Highlights include:

• The Coral Garden, known for its rich biodiversity and striking reef formations
• The Turtle Point, where sea turtles glide through crystal clear waters
• The Nurse Shark Point, offering a rare opportunity to observe these remarkable creatures in their natural habitat

The experience concludes with a relaxed beachside lunch on a secluded sandbank, surrounded by uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean.

Waves of Adventure and Calmness

For guests seeking both exhilaration and restoration, the Waves of Adventure and Calmness programme pairs a private two hour snorkelling safari or Jet Ski safari with a full body massage at the resort. Designed to move seamlessly from ocean thrill to island serenity, the experience reflects the effortless balance that defines Sun Siyam Vilu Reef.

As part of the Sun Siyam Privé Collection, a curated portfolio of distinctive island retreats, Sun Siyam Vilu Reef continues to offer elevated yet approachable experiences rooted in personalised service and the natural beauty of the Maldives. Here, every guest is invited to experience a genuine sense of wonder and an authentic connection to the Maldivian spirit, where the thrill of discovery meets the quiet calm of a natural sanctuary.

In time for the Holy Month, Cancro has announced its retail expansion into Al Maya Group stores across the UAE, alongside enhanced online availability designed to support Ramadan wellness routines.

With hydration and recovery becoming central to health conversations during Ramadan, Cancro’s formulations are positioned to support individuals observing the fast by helping replenish essential nutrients and maintaining electrolyte balance between Iftar and Suhoor. As consumers increasingly prioritize energy management, focus, and overall wellbeing during the Holy Month, the brand’s expanded availability ensures convenient access both in-store and online at a time when wellness purchasing peaks.

“Hydration remains one of the most critical aspects of fasting. Strategic replenishment during non-fasting hours can significantly influence how individuals feel the following day. By supporting electrolyte balance and recovery overnight, Cancro integrates seamlessly into post-Iftar and pre-Suhoor routines, helping consumers better manage fatigue and maintain productivity throughout the day,” said xxx at Cancro.

The partnership with Al Maya strengthens Cancro’s physical retail footprint across key UAE locations, aligning with increased supermarket footfall during Ramadan grocery cycles. As families prepare for Iftar gatherings and Suhoor essentials, Cancro is positioned as a practical addition to the Ramadan basket, reinforcing proactive health management during the Holy Month.

Complementing its retail presence, Cancro has also optimized its e-commerce platform to deliver a seamless purchasing journey. The website now features a streamlined checkout process, Apple Pay integration for faster transactions, secure payment gateways, and Ramadan-exclusive bundles designed to encourage convenient restocking. With direct-to-door delivery available across the UAE, customers can purchase effortlessly between busy schedules and evening commitments.

Ramadan represents one of the most significant retail periods in the UAE, particularly within the health and wellness category. By combining strong supermarket distribution through Al Maya with an enhanced direct-to-consumer online channel, Cancro is strategically positioned to capture growing demand while offering flexibility in how customers choose to shop.

As Ramadan approaches, Cancro invites consumers to prioritize hydration, recovery, and sustained performance as part of a balanced fasting routine. The range is now available at Al Maya stores across the UAE and online via Cancro’s official website.
