Destination weddings continue to capture the imagination of Indian couples, and Sun Siyam Resorts is emerging as a preferred name in this space. With properties spread across the Maldives and Sri Lanka, the luxury hospitality group is tailoring its offerings to meet the cultural and experiential expectations of Indian families looking to celebrate weddings abroad.

A Setting Beyond the Ballroom
For many couples, the draw lies in Sun Siyam’s natural landscapes—beaches, tropical gardens, and overwater villas that transform wedding ceremonies into immersive experiences. Venues range from barefoot beach settings to elegant ballrooms, accommodating both intimate gatherings and multi-day celebrations typical of Indian weddings.

Blending Tradition with Tropical Luxury
Recognising the cultural nuances of Indian weddings, Sun Siyam has curated packages that integrate rituals such as Mehendi, Sangeet, and pheras with destination-friendly flair. Dedicated planners manage décor, logistics, and cuisine—often blending authentic Indian flavours with international menus—ensuring that families can focus on celebration rather than coordination.

Experiences Beyond the Ceremony
A wedding at Sun Siyam often extends into a holiday for the entire guest list. Options include sunset yacht cruises, snorkeling trips, wellness retreats, and spa rituals, giving couples and families shared experiences before and after the main event. This “wedding-plus-holiday” approach is increasingly appealing to Indian families seeking both celebration and quality time together.

Sustainability as a Value Add
For eco-conscious couples, Sun Siyam highlights its coral restoration initiatives and marine conservation efforts. The resorts emphasise that luxury and sustainability can go hand-in-hand, a factor that resonates with younger Indian travellers making environment-friendly choices.

Accessibility for Indian Travellers
Proximity is another advantage. With direct flights from multiple Indian cities to Malé and Colombo, followed by short transfers, the resorts offer a sense of exotic remoteness without logistical complexity. Tailored group arrangements, from airport transfers to family villas, further ease the challenges of hosting multi-day Indian weddings abroad.

Why It Matters
The rise of destination weddings has transformed resort strategies across the Indian Ocean. By positioning itself as both culturally adaptable and logistically efficient, Sun Siyam is targeting a growing segment of Indian couples who want ceremonies steeped in tradition, yet set against tropical backdrops. For the brand, it’s a way of combining its core strength—luxury island hospitality—with one of India’s fastest-growing travel trends.
