The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort Reviews

good staff and good hotel view

Very good

The housekeeper, Lina, was very attentive and arranged for us very well. The check-in experience was very good

Very good for ten consecutive days

Honestly, where to start. I first heard of the St. Regis Vommuli 6 years ago from a friend who stayed there and, after looking at the property, started planning our 10-year anniversary trip before even reaching 5 years! You would think that with so much time to build up anticipation that nothing could live up to it, but this property did so in spades. It is a luxurious property that also captures the natural beauty of the Maldives, both land and sea, with subtle elegance. As other reviewers have mentioned, this is not a destination where you will want to keep track of how much you are spending because it is a luxury property whose purpose is purely to help you savor the experience and incredible natural surroundings while being expertly taken care of by the incredibly professional and warm staff. We spent 6 incredible nights here and every moment was thoroughly enjoyable. From the moment we were met at Male International by a St. Regis representative who whisked us through checking our bags for the seaplane flight to the property until our departure, we were fully relaxed and able to thoroughly enjoy our time. The house reefs are beautiful and a short swim from the overwater villas. We saw juvenile white and black tip sharks as well as a small spotted eagle ray who visited our villa several times! Nearly every option of water sport is available and we went on a snorkeling outing, rode jet skis around several nearby islands, took in amazing views while parasailing and enjoyed some more relaxing modes of water transport like standup paddle boards and kayaks. We had a wonderful spa experience as well so would highly recommend indulging in those services and experiencing the Blue Hole as well! Quite a cool experience! The food was excellent at all the venues we tried which included Alba, The Whale Bar, Cargo (sadly could not eat outside due to inclement weather but did experience the wonderful food), Orientale and took advantage of the unique experience of dining on the beach at sunset. An incredible meal but the enjoying the sunset followed by dining under the stars on the white sandy beach with my wife is what truly makes it a memory I will treasure! Lastly I’d be remiss if I did not mention the incredible staff at the St. Regis! Without their incredibly hard work, this hotel would not be anywhere near the experience and extraordinary property it is. There are so many of the warm, professional staff who I do not have their names but helped make our experience special and memorable. I do want to call out several staff with whom we interacted with regularly and thank them. Salvin who deftly and humorously managed the rather windy conditions during our dinner at Whale Bar making the challenging conditions seem routine. He always offered us a warm welcome by name whenever we took in a pre-dinner drink at Whale Bar to watch the nightly St. Regis sabrage ceremony and enjoy the sunset. Afrah who took great care of us for our dinner at Cargo and who

Fantastic beautiful resort. It is with as a bucket list destination. The food - great. The water - better. But it was the staff that made everything perfect. Abanoub our butler and Asif our villa manager were there for everything. We would love to return

I would say that this was a once in a lifetime experience but we are already talking about when we can go back. To say it was amazing is an understatement. We loved every moment! The staff was fantastic and our butler, Mena took care of us from the moment we landed until we departed.

A dream come true. My husband and I went to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary with our 3 kids. And there could’t be a better destination for this celebration. The food offer is diverse and delicious. Service is top notch, like no others. The energy of the resort and the people is mesmerizing. The girls who are in charge of the Kids Club became family. My kids cried when we left because they didn’t want to leave them behind. The Spa Services, wow! There are some treatments that focus on chakras activation and the flow of life force energy (prana). Some of the best experiences I have ever had. We all came back recharged, renovated and with the most wonderful memories that will last forever. Thank you St Regis Maldives!! You are PURE MAGIC ✨

We spent 5 days at this St. Regis Vommuli and it was outstanding. Detail to customer service was beyond anything we have ever experienced in our travels. Our Butler Haroon was outstanding and you can tell he and his room steward Asif take pride in their work. I can't go on enough about how they attended to us for every detail of our trip. Kim had hurt her back a day before the trip and the first couple days were a little slow for her. Haroon suggested a spa treatment of Wetsu (no sure of spelling) plus we had a regular spa treatment planned. It all helped and Kim was much better. Haroon and Asif made sure to celebrate my 60th Birthday as well with treats and room decoration. Haroon knew I was a retired from Deputy Sheriff and added a touch to the Birthday Wishes they made in the bathtub. The resort total staff makes you feel like family and are very friendly and welcoming and take care of your every need. Sinan one of the waiters at Alba restaurant on our final day at breakfast just before we were to get up and leave brought out a desert with chocolate writing on the plate saying see you soon as a way of thanking us and welcoming us back soon. What a classy touch. The food everyday was outstanding and plenty of it. If you go, make sure to do the outside on the beach Indian Ocean night. More food and Deserts than you can eat. Amazing how they set this beautiful night up on the beach with tables, lighting and great service. Of course the views are outstanding. As for the spa, all we can say is WOW outstanding spa. Elvira and Vadee were excellent and you won't be disappointed. I see why their Spa and services are rated so highly. St. Regis Maldives will make this a trip you won't forget and will want to come back to. I would like to give them credit for all the communication ahead of the trip to help make your trip arrival and departure as easy as can be. We used the CIP service at Male' Velana airport. They met us at the bottom of the steps and quickly took us to an awaiting vehicle and to a private immigration area then quickly to their private lounge and provided food and drinks while they took care of your immigartion and luggage. Once they secured and cleared that a St. Regis Bulter came and took us straight over with our luggage in a private van to the Seaport and checked us in and stayed with us until our departure. What a smooth and seamless process. We were going to be taken to the St. Regis Private lounge but our sea plane was ready for us ahead so that was good for a quick start. Upon arrival at St. Regis the staff and our butler was awaiting the 14 guests on the plane at the dock waving and welcoming us to the island. Upon departure it was the same thing only they received us from the seaplanes and took us straight to the St. Regis lounge where we were offered more food and drinks until they took us to the airport and were received by the CIP staff who took care of us u

What makes the St. Regis so special is the Butler Service. Abanoub was our butler and by far, he was the BEST we ever had. We stayed 5 nights. 1. He was super attentive to our needs, there was literally no delays (we wondered, does this guy ever sleep, LOL) 2. Everything we asked for came with professional service and perfection. 3. Abanoub made our trip the most memorable, ever, with his personalized service. One area I think the resort can work on is the food quality. 1. Buffet had challenges, having consistent quality, especially with the dishes you ordered. It felt like the items were premade, and not fresh. 2. We dined at the Decanter and the T-PAN. Decanter = Was amazing intimate experience. The sommelier was amazing. The food, was not bad, but not special. Plates were not warm or cold as the presentation was nice, but the touch of the plate must have that hallmark in the presentation depending if it is a hot or cold dish. Some of the dishes were creative, but flavors were too creative. T-PAN = Amazing staff and experience. Food again, wasn't bad, way better than the Decanter, but the chef was a trainee and wasn't prepared quite to the level of a Japanese Teppenyaki chef would present. For example, the meat wasn't uniform, cubed and cut left with fatty parts not desirable. There were some dishes that were fusion - like but didn't taste together well. 3. We dined at the Valentine's Day dinner on the beach. The dinner mood, was PERFECT. seriously over the top and amazing. The Saxophone player was INCREDIBLY, 10/10. Food was the issue. We didn't send anything back as we wanted to eat and enjoy the night, but I think the main issue is the food came from Alba, and all food had to be brought on the beach. Nothing was covered or hot, maybe warm at best. The first dish with oysters/caviar was very, very bad. terrible combination. Overall, this is an incredible property and there is so many things to say amazing. The experience felt like you were on a private island literally, with amazing snorkeling and 5 star luxury experiences. The spa was incredible, my wife said it was one of the best ever. She went there twice. The pool vibe is a little slow, and no music, I think it was meant to be private and quiet, but I would recommend making it more exciting as felt kinda boring after a while. We went to the Ritz Carlton for 5 nights after and I will write a review about that. I was asked which is better, the Ritz is. As the food, was significantly better. I would choose the Ritz if you want to bring the kids and better food experience. I would do the St. Regis if you want a very slow experience, intimate, and aren't an ultra foodie.

Our butler Zayaan provided exceptional service. Special thanks goes to him for making our journey a very nice and memorable one. The overwater villa features exceptional interior designs and facilities, while it understandably looked a bit aged from the outside. Restaurants Cargo and Whale Bar are our favorites, where wonderful food and service is provided. The only thing I cannot actually speak highly of is the Watersports centre. Maybe our first visit there was on a free event and we didn’t feel very welcome there. And when I tried to book a priced activity, I was told it would be available at the moment of booking and arranged my calendar accordingly, but was informed that it cannot happen due to something like an engineering issue two hours later.

Pretty much everything was exceptional! This is my second time at the same resort and definitely not the last! Staff is extremely amazing and helpful! Restaurant arrangements were on point, food is tasty in every restaurant! Special thanks to our butler Abanoub who made our stay extremely pleasant and made our vacation memorable!

Everything in the resort was great. But what made this the perfect vacation was having our butler, Mina, around. He was very welcoming, professional and attended to our every need. He made our stay significantly better. Highly recommend the resort.

My wife and I had the most incredible stay at The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort from 17th May to 22nd May. This resort truly deserves a 5 out of 5 stars! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the beauty of the surroundings and the impeccable service. Our butler, Ali, was exceptional - always attentive, helpful, and ensured our every need was met throughout our stay. Thank you, Ali, for your outstanding service and for helping to upgrade our villa! The food at the resort was delicious, offering a variety of options that satisfied our tastes every day. Although we ate breakfast at the same restaurant every day, we never got bored due to the plentiful selections available. There were so many options to choose from that ensured we could enjoy something different each morning. Despite weather conditions suspending some water activities, we still managed to have a memorable time snorkeling right behind our villa. The coral and marine life were stunning, making every dip into the crystal-clear waters an adventure. All the staff we encountered were friendly and hospitable. We particularly enjoyed meeting many Indonesian staff members who added a warm touch to our experience. Overall, our honeymoon at The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort was perfect. The service was exemplary, the setting was breathtaking, and we can't wait to return. Highly recommended - this experience was absolutely worth it, and we're already looking forward to our next visit!
