St RegisMaldives
The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort | Maldives
Aurelle Curator's Verdict
The St. Regis Maldives is a triumph of modern architectural drama, ideal for design aficionados and tech-savvy travelers who appreciate iPad-controlled villas and 'Whale Shark' inspired lounges. While it's a paradise for Marriott loyalists seeking high-octane luxury, those looking for a rustic 'barefoot' or traditional thatched-roof aesthetic may find the sleek concrete and glass structures too contemporary. The signature experience worth the flight is a sunset session in the Iridium Spa's Blue Hole hydrotherapy pool followed by the iconic St. Regis evening sabering ritual.
