St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort

The first rays of sunshine shine over the Indian Ocean while you snorkel through the lagoon surrounded by colorful fish. Back at the villa, the view over the endless blue opens up on the private terrace with a cup of coffee in hand. A yoga session follows in the afternoon, followed by a massage. And at a later hour? A dinner under the tropical starry sky. What sounds like a dream becomes reality at the St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort. The 77 villas combine the charm of nature with state-of-the-art comfort. The John Jacob Astor Estate - the largest overwater villa in the Maldives - boasts three bedrooms, a gym, spa area and endless sea views. The Caroline Astor Estate welcomes up to seven guests with 67 m2 of pool space, while the Cesar Balsa Villa and the Sunset Overwater Villas promise a discreet retreat with spectacular views. Culinary delights are celebrated: Mediterranean lightness at Alba , Japanese kaiseki at T-Pan , Asian journeys at Orientale . The legendary ' Whale Bar ' serves Latin American tapas with DJ sets and sunsets. Well-being is also taken care of: the award-winning Iridium Spa above the water combines traditional healing arts with modern wellness, while Vommuli House - the largest leisure complex in the Maldives - offers a fitness studio, yoga and beauty salon.

Christmas and New Year's Eve become the stage for unforgettable moments: champagne sabrage at sunset, culinary highlights from top international chefs and glamorous celebrations under the stars. For all those who want to escape the winter between January and March, paradise shows its most beautiful side in the dry season - sunny, with crystal-clear water and that lightness that only the Maldives can offer.
