The Sun's head of travel, Lisa Minot, weighs in on Siyam World
IT'S no surprise to me that Siyam World has been named one of the best hotels in the world.
My visit to the idyllic Maldivian island last year blew all of my preconceptions out of the azure blue waters.
Yes, of course there are four kilometres of gorgeous powder white sands and six kilometres of house reef teeming with manta rays, reef sharks and tropical fish.
Yes, there are romantic over-water villas with their own private pools.
But what I wasn't expecting was the jungle go-karting track, the aquatic jet cars, the international size football field with visiting sporting legends like Rio Ferdinand offering coaching tips and even an expansive horse ranch.
Siyam World is one of the largest resort islands in the Maldives and unlike many of its neighbouring islands, is totally all-inclusive.
Dine at one of 11 restaurants serving up everything from Maldivian, Japanese and Thai treats to Indian, Spanish and Italian dishes.
There's unlimited champagne and premium spirits at the island's seven bars - as well as a mini bar filled with beers, wine and snacks in your room.
Even the accommodation options are dizzying - with one to four-bedroom water and beach villas plus luxury residences.
And it ranks as one of the most family-friendly tropical paradise islands I have ever seen with oodles of fun for the little ones as well as their own children's clubs.
But what stood out more than all that was the wonderful Maldivian welcome from the resort's super friendly staff who always seem to go the extra mile.

Direct flights to Velana Airport are available from London Heathrow, with British Airways and the flight time is just over 10 hours.
Once at Valena Airport, travellers usually board a seaplane or get domestic flight and speedboat transfer to the resort, both lasting less than an hour.
