The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort

good staff and good hotel view

Very good

I just returned from the St. Regis Vommuli Island. It was literally perfect in every way. I will try not to repeat other reviews-however, few things that I didn't necessarily see come through in my research that might be helpful. Huge special shout out to our butler, Angie, and room attendant, Haseeb, who were both committed to excellence in everything they did. I travel a lot and am a lifetime titanium with Marriott and Angie truly set the bar for what outstanding service looks like. She anticipated needs before we even knew we had them and made our vacation completely worry free. Weather: I had tons of anxiety around the weather going in May (the start of the rainy season). The weather in the Maldives is very tropical and changes quickly. We had mostly beautiful weather and the few periods of unsettled weather helped cool things down. Yoga: I highly recommend the yoga offerings with the fantastic Amruta. I enjoyed both the morning yoga and evening meditation (complimentary) and the Anti Gravity Yoga (nominal charge but worth every penny-very relaxing and different). Amruta went to an Ayurvedic medical college for over 5 years and is incredibly knowledgeable in alternative therapies. Food: Some of the best food i've had on vacation. Folks tend to go to Crust & Craft for lunch-however, Alba's lunch is very underrated. They have an extensive lunch menu and our lunch there was one of our favorite meals of the trip. Status Benefits: We felt well taken care of with the elite benefits provided. Despite being a premium property in high demand, the management went out of their way to recognize elites.

My husband and I went to the St. Regis Maldives for our honeymoon in April 2024 and we can confirm that this property not only lives up to but exceeds everything you have heard and seen. From the pre arrival experience up to the stay itself, departure, and post departure, everything was amazing. It was easy to set up reservations for the outlets prior to arrival via email. We arrived at the Male airport and Naseehu greeted us just outside of Customs. He helped with our bags and guided us through the check in process for the seaplane and took us to the St. Regis airport lounge. The lounge was very comfortable and we were able to get some snacks/drinks and it even had showers inside. Amina was our attendant upon our departure and she was super helpful as well! Naseehu showed us a personalized greeting video of our butler, Angie, welcoming us to the Maldives and the property. Angie was absolutely amazing during our stay. She was very prompt with responses and went out of her way to set up things in our room such as a little honeymoon cake, bubblebath, and hand written notes. She helped us set up additional reservations and helped with any adjus**ents we had to existing reservations. We felt like the only guests she was assisting during our week here. The overwater villa was beautiful! We were upgraded to a sunset villa and the sunsets were truly spectacular. Although, if you want to get in the villa pool in the day, the water is quite cold until the sun peeks over the roof. A regular overwater villa may be better if you want to get more sun on your deck/pool. The snorkeling is amazing when you go in the water just off the villa. The lights/curtains are controlled from an iPad for the room. The room is spacious with a large closet area. We had no complaints for the room except that the sliding door off the patio kept letting air in and the AC would kick off. We informed Angie and then the Engineering/Maintenance team came right over to address it. Every staff member we encountered was so attentive and warm and welcoming. After dining at the breakfast/pool area daily, the attendants would remember what we ordered and asked if we were ready for our usual drink or snack. Speaking of dining, the breakfast buffet is absolutely amazing. I am still thinking about it almost a month out. I have never seen such an expansive breakfast buffet with so many cuisines and options. The fruit is so sweet and delicious. Eating the fruit we have back home in the states is just not the same. All the dinner facilities were delicious. The chef was out for a little bit at T-Pan but he came back a few nights before our departure and our experience was great. We had Chef Eko and the meal he crafted for us was so yummy. Ishaq was our server most days at Alta breakfast and Sandeep guided us during our whiskey tasting and also was there for dinner at Orientale and breakfast. Really everyone we ran into was awesome! Jailam was our villa housekeeping attendant and our villa

This was our first trip to the Maldives, and we had a wonderful experience at the St. Regis! Great location, amazing ocean, luxurious space design, and friendly service—St. Regis Maldives has it all. In particular, Hussain and Yeni made our stay very special. I am delighted to have met them and am really grateful for their help. We befriended the guests at the next table and had a great time. I really appreciate everything at St. Regis. Thank you very much!
