MALDIVES is a textbook destination for luxury travelers – island resorts abound, sunsets that could inspire great poems, and velvety white sand that glides on your feet.
An aerial view of the resort reflects stunning imagery of the jungle and the many overwater villas that sprout from the edges of the vegetation to the sea. It’s a magnificent shock of green against blue, of land against water. The vast Indian Ocean cradles the island paradise, like a baby in her arms.
All 33 on-land and 44 overwater suites and villas have their own private pools and take design cues from the materials and colors that surround them by combining local craftsmanship with contemporary design. Whether you opt for forest or sea views, you’ll be able to revel in the Maldives’ naturally blessed landscapes and its ecological environment.
There’s a total of 16 two- and three-bedroom villas in the property, the most in one Maldivian resort. Whether you’re celebrating a tropical Christmas with family, or winding down with a bunch of friends, these villas will ensure your party gets ample room and the bonus of privacy.
At an impressive 1,540 sq m, the largest overwater villa in the Maldives, the John Jacob Astor Estate will raise your entertaining game with features such as Jacuzzi whirlpools, an infinity pool, a walk-in closet, a private gym, a mini theater, a show kitchen and dining for 12, private spa suites, electronically controlled drapes, and eight Bang & Olufsen TVs. It’s the height of island luxury as you know it.
Each room comes with the brand’s trademark butler service, which includes unpacking and packing, arranging food and beverages, and garment pressing. Even if you’ve forgotten to bring along your favorite summer read or in need of a last-minute souvenir, no request is too big (or small) for St Regis’ well-trained team of butlers.
Devour snorkeling or glass-bottomed kayak rides with the Vommuli Dive and Water Sports Centre and if you’re traveling with kids, the complimentary Children’s Club will also ensure your little ones are continually entertained with enriching and engaging activities including arts and crafts, cooking demos, and yoga.
The Vommuli House – the in-house nature discovery center – has facilities and activities for guests of all ages such as anti-gravity yoga and meditation, an outdoor tennis court, a 24-hour fitness center, and a Socialite Club for those aged 16 and older to mingle over pool or foosball.
And what’s a stay in an island resort without a relaxing spa session? Set atop the Indian Ocean in a private enclave, Iridium Spa has six couples’ treatment rooms with sliding-glass doors for unadulterated views of the sea vistas from your spa beds, and private terraces with soaking bathtubs accompanied by the salty ocean breeze.
After a pampering session, head to Decanter, an underground wine cellar that houses a stunning selection of prestigious wines including exclusive vintage labels dating back to 1755. As you sit at the Italian marble table, the sommelier and executive chef will craft you a bespoke pairing menu to round off an elegant underground retreat.
The resort also hosts five other restaurants and bars to cater to niche preferences: Alba, the resort’s all day dining venue offers a lavish breakfast spread and Italian cuisine, and is also great for kid-friendly dishes overlooking the ocean; Orientale is a celebration of all things Asian; The Whale Bar is an exceptionally beautiful setting to have a cocktail against the Maldivian sunset; Cargo will let you feast on Mediterranean food beneath the stars; and Crust is a casual beachfront pizzeria.
St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort is currently running an exclusive offer over the summer where you can enjoy a 20 percent discount on all rooms including US$100 credits of food and beverage throughout the property, complimentary champagne and fruits, and free dining for kids.
