The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort has expanded its family offering with a dedicated teen club, enhanced children’s activities and a redesigned two-bedroom villa measuring 380 square metres.
Set on Vommuli Island in Dhaalu Atoll, the private-island resort is shaping the programme around multigenerational holidays. Younger guests have activities tailored to their age, while shared experiences bring families together through Maldivian food, culture and marine conservation.
The Vommuli Society gives teenagers their own space
The newly launched Vommuli Society is reserved for guests aged 13 to 17, combining creative workshops and outdoor activities with a social lounge where teenagers can meet away from the wider resort.
Island Capture Sessions introduce photography, visual storytelling and creative editing around the tropical island. Teenagers can also join workshops with the resident marine biologist, try palm weaving or coconut painting at the Maldivian Culture Lab, and take part in paddleboarding or group fitness sessions.
Among the extra bookable experiences are sunset mocktails at The Whale Bar, anti-gravity yoga, fishing excursions and watersports clinics. The mix of structured activities and free time gives older children more independence during a family stay.
Vommuli House welcomes children aged four to 12
For younger guests, Vommuli House Kids’ Club offers arts and crafts, cooking classes, mindfulness-based yoga and guided play. Puzzles, board games and video games are available indoors, with snacks and fresh juices served from a dedicated children’s menu.
The separate age groups allow siblings with different interests to follow their own programmes. St. Regis butlers can also arrange childcare, family dining and private beach picnics.
Families can explore the reef together
Shared experiences range from dolphin-spotting trips aboard a traditional Dhoni to Maldivian cooking classes and island treasure hunts. The resort’s Adopt-a-Coral programme, developed with Reefscapers, also lets guests participate in coral restoration.
Small coral fragments are attached to metal frames and placed in the lagoon, where they are monitored and photographed every six months. Families adopting a frame receive a reference number, allowing them to follow its development online after returning home.
A larger villa designed for family stays
The reimagined Two-Bedroom Family Villa with Pool has expanded from 334 to 380 square metres. Its master bedroom occupies the ground floor, while an upstairs bedroom with two beds offers a separate retreat for children or friends.
A 30-square-metre infinity pool replaces the previous 15-square-metre pool, while the broader beachfront creates more room between the villa deck and lagoon. Indoor living areas provide a comfortable shared base alongside the privacy needed for multigenerational travel.
Adults can retreat to the overwater Iridium Spa or choose among seven dining venues while children attend their programmes. The resort has 77 beachfront and overwater villas, including the three-bedroom John Jacob Astor Estate, described by the property as the Maldives’ largest overwater villa.
