WIN! A trip for two to the Maldives, thanks to Virgin Atlantic Holidays and Sun Siyam Resorts

Here at Times Radio, we have teamed up with Virgin Atlantic Holidays and Sun Siyam Resorts to give one lucky winner the chance to win the holiday of a lifetime for two people to the Maldives.

This incredible package for two people includes an all-inclusive seven night stay at the world-class Sun Siyam Iru Veli, direct Virgin Atlantic flights and £1,500 spending money.

When it comes to getting away from it all, there are beach holidays, and then there’s the Maldives. The turquoise water too clear to be true. Silky white sand stretching as far as the eye can see. Luxurious over-water villas just perfect for curling up with a cocktail and watching the sun go down.

Sun Siyam Iru Veli’s all-inclusive is one of the very best including dining at a la carte restaurants, jet ski credit, spa voucher or scuba diving for qualified divers, as well as three excursions.  Sun Siyam Iru Veli truly is laidback luxury at its best.

With Virgin Atlantic commencing flying to the Maldives from October 2023 and Virgin Atlantic Holidays expertise in planning stunning getaways, it’s just got even easier to book your dream holiday. Visit their website for more information.
