St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort: The Grande Dame of Overwater Bungalows
Overwater bungalows in Bora Bora, Moorea, the Caribbean, and Mexico have long dazzled travelers with their jaw-dropping allure. Yet, since The St. Regis opened its first private island resort in 2016, the Maldives has captured global attention. The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort has solidified its status as the grande dame of overwater bungalows.
Picture yourself immersed in this paradise...
Seventy-seven private villas dot Vommuli Island—a 23-acre haven of seclusion, reachable by a scenic 45-minute seaplane from Malé.

The St. Regis upholds unparalleled excellence, with even its base garden villa rivaling features from Architectural Digest.

Opt for an overwater villa—our top recommendation—and savor a private plunge-pool terrace with breathtaking Indian Ocean views.


The resort's design echoes the Maldives' marine world. The Whale Bar mimics a whale shark's form, complete with an expansive open porch.


Aerial views reveal the overwater bungalows' sloping silver roofs resembling graceful manta rays in flight.

Dining spans casual toes-in-the-sand bites to Middle Eastern flavors amid lush tropics.

Alba shines with Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. Its Italian offerings in the Indian Ocean match St. Regis standards impeccably.

The crown jewel is the John Jacob Astor Estate, from $20,000+ per night: three wings, private cinema, bedroom-attached spas, three Jacuzzis, and a gym.
