The resort’s all-day dining room, built around Mediterranean flavors and bright, elegant interiors.
Vommuli
Vommuli sits on a pristine private island in the Dhaalu Atoll, one of the most sought-after locations in the Maldives. Just 40 minutes by seaplane from Malé, the resort occupies a rare stretch of land surrounded by rich marine life, clear lagoon waters, and uninterrupted ocean views. The property is operated by Marriott International as St.Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort.
Design Vision
Designed by the award-winning WOW Architects from Singapore, the property stands out for its architecture inspired by the island’s own ecology. Every zone reflects a distinct part of the atoll’s natural character. From manta-shaped overwater villas in the Lagoon Zone to Dhoni-inspired coastal family villas and beach villas rooted in traditional Maldivian design. This approach not only creates a memorable visual identity but also positions Vommuli as one of the most architecturally celebrated resorts in the Maldives.
The design language of the resort has embraced various experiences of the island.
The Lagoon Zone
Overwater villas, the Whale Bar, and the spa draw inspiration from manta rays, whale sharks, and crustaceans. This zone highlights the resort’s nature-led, sustainable design approach.
The Beach Zone
Set on cool coral sand, the villas take cues from an old fisherman’s hut once found on the island. It blends Maldivian heritage with modern beachfront luxury.
The Jungle Zone
Garden villas sit within preserved native vegetation, keeping the island’s dense greenery intact. Vommuli House, inspired by a banyan tree, anchors family activities and wellness.
The Coastal Zone
These dhoni-shaped villas sit where the island meets the reef, perched over rock and water. Sail-like roofs and wide verandahs frame some of the island’s most dramatic views.
