Further information
Dining
Seven restaurants and bars give The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli one of the most varied dining programs of any private island resort in the Maldives. Alba serves overwater Italian fine dining above the Indian Ocean, while Cargo focuses on Persian gastronomy and Decanter operates as a dedicated wine bar. The Whale Bar handles sunset cocktails with panoramic lagoon views, and the nightly champagne sabrage ceremony is one of the resort’s signature St. Regis rituals. Private dining and in-villa service are arranged directly through the 24-hour butler team.
Wellness
The Iridium Spa at The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli is an award-winning overwater facility holding the largest hydrotherapy pool in the Indian Ocean. Treatment rooms sit directly above the water, and the spa program covers bespoke massages, body therapies, and facial treatments, with smart bracelets and VR meditation journeys available as part of the wider wellness experience. A fully equipped fitness center, yoga program, and outdoor infinity pool complete the offering on Vommuli Island.
Activities
The Vommuli Dive and Watersports Centre operates as a PADI 5-Star Gold Palm Center with exclusive dive sites, private yacht charters, and a marine conservation program that includes a coral nursery and adopt-a-coral scheme. Water sports, fishing excursions, snorkeling from the house reef, and sunset cruises are all arrangeable through the butler service. On the island itself, nine hectares of tropical gardens, nature trails, a library with over 1,500 volumes, and a professional photo studio round out the land-based offering at this Dhaalu Atoll luxury resort.
The Maldives
The Maldives is made up of more than a thousand coral islands scattered across the Indian Ocean, each resort occupying its own private atoll. No shared beaches, no neighbouring properties, no traffic. The geography does something that no amount of hotel design can replicate: it removes you completely from everything else. The range across those islands is wider than most people expect.
Our Experts
The Maldives is a stand-out when it comes to luxury travel and our most popular destination. We are also proud to be able to work with properties that are welcoming to the LGBTQ+ community.
Staying in an over-water bungalow is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I'd recommend to any traveller. It's amazing to swim in some of the world's most impressive coral reefs and the sunset's divine.
Stellar service. Stellar products. Stellar people and it gets so much better when you pick up the phone and call.
