The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli, Maldives

Sensational architectural design, inspired by the marine life of the Maldives, is the hallmark of this dares-to-be-different property located a memorable 45-minute seaplane flight from Male. Its remote Dhaalu Atoll is an untouched marine haven of coral, sea caves and exotic and rare species of fish of all sizes to delight divers and snorkellers.

Villas, serviced by a personal butler, are either concealed in the lush foliage, positioned on the dazzling white coral sand or over the waters of the Indian Ocean. Interiors are huge, sophisticated and luxurious, and each has a private pool.

Tablets allow guests to control villa amenities as well as stream entertainment.

Maldivian, Chinese and Indian cuisines feature; for a real treat experience the degustation menu with wine at the underground wine cellar Decanter. The superb spa, with six overwater treatment rooms takes the form of a giant lobster, complemented by a state of the art gym and a superb infinity pool.
