At Vommuli Island, cutting-edge design blends effortlessly with local craftsmanship, exquisite dishes from all over the world are cooked to perfection, and every possible luxury – from a rare bottle of vintage champagne to your very own butler – can be found at this exquisite Maldives retreat. The following article may provide some inspiration, but to experience it? You’ll just have to visit. You’ll just have to visit.

From the moment you touch down at Mal&eacute; airport, there&rsquo;s a sense that you are about to embark on a very special journey. Luggage is whisked away by your St. Regis Butler as you retire to St. Regis Bentley, which transports you in air-conditioned&nbsp;comfort to the exclusive St. Regis lounge by the quay. Here you can enjoy refreshments on the terrace while watching the red-and-white seaplanes landing softly on the water near the deck. As your plane makes its way over the Indian Ocean to the St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort, you gaze down at the turquoise waters lapping the perfect white beaches of the scattered atolls below. And that&rsquo;s just the beginning...

A striking silhouette set against the turquoise of the Indian Ocean -&nbsp;there&rsquo;s no other property in the Maldives quite like The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort. Combining innovative contemporary design with a profound appreciation for the natural environment in which it resides, it&rsquo;s like an elegant sculpture sitting atop one of the most beautiful islands in the world.

Designed by WOW Architects | Warner Wong Design in Singapore, each building draws inspiration from the treasures found on and around the island. The overwater villas mimic graceful manta rays; the distinctive pods of the Iridium Spa form a lobster; the library takes its sinuous lines from a delicate spiral seashell found on the beach; and of course, the unmistakable shape of a whale shark juts out into the ocean and forms the bar, where guests can sip cocktails as they watch the sun go down.

It&rsquo;s not just the coast, though, that inspires and forms this unique resort. The island&rsquo;s lush jungle, with its bounteous flora and fauna, is rightly celebrated. Vommuli House, where you&rsquo;ll find a beautiful yoga studio, fitness center, children&rsquo;s play area, and children&rsquo;s kitchen branching right out into the greenery, is based on a sprawling Banyan tree that was discovered on the island amid coconut trees and coastal plants.

Divided into four zones &ndash; Lagoon, Beach, Jungle, and Coastal &ndash; the interior inside each building reflects its location. And whether it&rsquo;s a piece of locally carved driftwood placed on the wall or a beautiful artwork made from glass bottles washed up on the shore, the St. Regis signature style of exquisite elegance and glamour can be found everywhere, with attention to detail, authenticity, and unique design at every turn.

Garden Villas

Set in the heart of the lush Vommuli jungle, each of the tranquil Garden Villas at The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort offers a chance to connect directly with the raw natural environment of this beautiful and unspoiled island. Surrounded by towering palm trees and vibrant flowering plants, nowhere offers quite the same sense of privacy, retreat, and calm.

Overwater Villas

With floor-to-ceiling views of the Indian Ocean, and steps leading directly from the private terrace straight into the sea, each Overwater Villa provides unobstructed access to the crystal clear waters surrounding it. The villas&rsquo; location, right by the house reef, means that eagle rays, shoals of young squid, and tropical fish of all shapes and colors are right on your doorstep, and can be seen simply by peering through the netting of one of the overwater hammocks. The sunsets that can be enjoyed from each villa, meanwhile, are equally mesmerizing.

Beach Villas

Think of the Maldives and glorious beaches are one of the first things to come to mind. It&rsquo;s hardly surprising &ndash; after all, who could fail to be struck by these flawless swathes of white sand, which stay cool despite the heat of the sun. Based on a fisherman&rsquo;s hut that was discovered on the island before the resort existed, each of the Beach Villas at The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort looks out directly onto the Indian Ocean and its sandy shores, providing an unobstructed and unspoiled stretch of private beach for its inhabitants to revel in.
