Dhaalu Atoll · 45 minutes by seaplane · 77 pool villas
St. Regis Vommuli
A wooded 9-hectare island in Dhaalu Atoll with 77 pool villas, 44 of them over the water on a jetty shaped like a manta ray. Expect proper butler service, a shell-shaped overwater spa and six places to eat and drink. Choose it for polish and family space; skip it if you want a barefoot, rustic island.

01The island
Vommuli is greener than most resort islands: a thick canopy of trees in the centre, a white beach running round it, and villas spaced well apart along the sand and out over the lagoon. Bikes and buggies get you around.
The design is bold, with sweeping timber roofs and sculptural pavilions, but the mood is relaxed. Vommuli House holds the kids club, gym, yoga studio, salon and a two-storey library built around a tree, and there is an open-air Jungle Cinema for movie nights.

10FAQs
On Vommuli, a 9-hectare island in Dhaalu Atoll, south-west of Malé. The island is thickly wooded, with a white beach on one side and a long curve of overwater villas on the other.
By seaplane from Velana International Airport, about 45 minutes. Seaplanes fly in daylight only, so late arrivals usually spend a night near Malé. St. Regis guests can wait in The Great Room, the resort's lounge at the seaplane terminal.
There are 77 villas: 33 on land and 44 over the water, and every one has a private pool and St. Regis Butler service. Sizes run from 140 sq m for a Beach Villa to 1,540 sq m for The John Jacob Astor Estate.

The overwater spa, with six treatment rooms including two for Ayurvedic treatments, and the Blue Hole, a hydrotherapy pool set into the lagoon. From the air its pavilions look like a cluster of shells on the reef.
Alba for Italian, Orientale for Asian food from three kitchens, Cargo for Middle Eastern, Crust and Craft for pizza, and Decanter, an underground wine cellar for tastings and private dinners. Whale Bar sits over the water and is where the house Island Mary is poured. In-villa dining runs 24 hours.
The John Jacob Astor Estate: three bedrooms over the water in 1,540 sq m, with its own pool, spa room and terraces. On the beach, The Caroline Astor Estate has three bedrooms in 620 sq m.
