The St. Regis Maldives
Vommuli Resort

Overview

 

This architectural gem celebrates the delicate natural environment it inhabits. It skillfully merges bold design with a nod to heritage and regional craftsmanship.
 

Exploring this pleasure seeker’s retreat reveals mesmerizing structures at every turn, each narrating a distinct tale. Here, you’ll encounter villas that echo the elegant shapes of manta rays, or the original fisherman's hut found on Vommuli. Some mimic the traditional Maldivian dhoni boats that navigate these seas—perched on jagged reefs or featuring soaring, sail-like rooftops. There is a library and an observatory tower shaped like a spiral shell; the Iridium Spa is crafted to resemble a crustacean, with over-water treatment rooms in its claw-like extensions; while The Whale Bar is notably shaped like the impressive whale shark.

Deeper into the island lies Vommuli House—a hub for family exploration. Its structure draws inspiration from banyan trees, with each 'branch' offering a different activity—from a playroom and cooking school to a yoga studio. Of course, all the signature St. Regis features are present—the dedicated butlers, the champagne sabrage ceremonies, and a local twist on the classic Bloody Mary, here called the Island Mary and uniquely served in a seashell.
