St Regis Vommuli

Spa: The Blue Hole & Iridium

The Iridium Spa sits over the lagoon, its lobster-inspired architecture curving like a shell. Inside, six treatment rooms—including two Ayurvedic suites with private steam—open onto terraces where you can soak in a bathtub while the ocean breeze brushes your skin. The real centrepiece, though, is the Blue Hole: a suspended hydrotherapy pool that hangs above the Indian Ocean. It’s the largest of its kind in the Maldives, filled with heated seawater and a network of whirlpool jets. You can drift here at midday or return after dark to watch the sunset paint the water gold. Treatments blend ancient techniques with modern indulgences — examples include caviar facials and warm-stone massages—so the spa feels both timeless and fresh.

Kids Club: Vommuli House

Vommuli House is tucked into the island’s lush interior, a bright, airy space where kids aged 4 to 12 can paint, cook, or snorkel while parents steal a few hours for themselves. The team here is specially trained to keep young guests engaged with a mix of creativity and adventure. Morning yoga sessions include simple meditation, and the children’s kitchen hosts MasterChef-style cooking classes where kids learn to make Maldivian fish curry or chocolate-dipped fruit. Treasure hunts wind through the gardens, and snorkelling excursions introduce them to the house reef’s turtles and parrotfish. For teens, the Socialite Club offers air hockey, table tennis, and board games—enough to keep them entertained without screens. Parents can book a dolphin cruise or sunset fishing trip knowing the kids are in good hands.

• Ages 4–12: yoga, cooking, art, treasure hunts, snorkelling
• Teens 16+: Socialite Club with air hockey, table tennis, board games
• Dolphin cruises and sunset fishing excursions for families
• Children’s kitchen with MasterChef-style cooking classes

Diving & Water Sports

The dive centre at St Regis Vommuli caters to everyone from first-timers to experienced divers. Certified instructors lead guided trips to nearby reefs, while non-certified guests can try introductory dives in the shallow lagoon. The house reef is a short swim from the beach, its coral gardens alive with butterflyfish, moray eels, and the occasional reef shark. For those who prefer to stay dry, the resort’s Azimut Flybridge 66 yacht, Norma, takes guests on private cruises through the atoll. You can parasail over the turquoise waters, paddleboard along the shoreline, or join a marine biologist for a guided snorkel tour. The resort also offers atoll-discovery tours that hop between uninhabited islands, giving you a taste of the Maldives beyond the resort.

• Guided dives for certified and introductory dives for beginners
• Young divers program for children aged 8 and above
• House reef accessible from the beach—turtles, reef sharks, parrotfish
• Norma yacht: private cruises, parasailing, paddleboarding
• Atoll-discovery tours and marine biologist-led snorkel excursions

Signature Experiences

St Regis Vommuli has a way of turning simple moments into memories. The resort’s rotating Michelin chef program brings polished culinary talent to the island, offering cooking classes and exclusive tasting menus. At the Whale Bar, built to resemble a whale shark, you can sip cocktails on an overwater terrace while the sun dips below the horizon. For families, the Caroline Astor Estate—a 620 sqm private residence—comes with its own oversized pool and a butler who can arrange everything from a private movie night to a beach picnic. A good rule: that the best way to experience the resort is to let the butler team guide you: they’ll suggest a sunrise yoga session, a sunset dolphin cruise, or a quiet evening at the Blue Hole pool when the stars come out.
