Seventy-seven private-pool villas, a private lagoon and St. Regis Butler service day and night. In Dhaalu Atoll, the resort pairs 44 overwater and 33 beach villas with seven restaurants, a whale-shark-inspired bar, lobster-inspired Iridium Spa and vibrant house reef.
About the Resort
A whale shark bar. A lobster-inspired spa.
The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort is a private-island escape in Dhaalu Atoll, combining polished St. Regis service with a real sense of place. Its 77 villas are split between beach and overwater settings, each with a private pool and the attentive support of a dedicated St. Regis Butler throughout the stay.
The resort’s architecture gives it a personality beyond the usual Maldives formula. The overwater Whale Bar takes its inspiration from a whale shark, while the sculptural Iridium Spa is lobster-inspired—an overwater sanctuary for treatments, wellness rituals and time by the Blue Hole hydrotherapy pool.
Days can be as relaxed or active as you choose. Snorkel the vibrant house reef, dive with the resort’s PADI-certified team or explore more than 40 dive sites around Dhaalu Atoll. Back on the island, there are seven restaurants and bars, from sunset tapas and Champagne at the Whale Bar to Japanese kaiseki at T•Pan and intimate wine-paired dinners at Decanter.
Families are well catered for with a complimentary children’s club and spacious multi-bedroom villa estates, while couples will appreciate the privacy, destination dining and exceptional spa setting. For a special day at sea, the resort’s private yacht, Norma, can be chartered for up to eight guests.
