The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort has announced a new partnership with LUX Tennis, further strengthening its established tennis programme and expanding its active lifestyle offerings for families and sports enthusiasts. Located on a private island sanctuary in one of the Maldives’ most exclusive atolls, the resort continues to refine its portfolio of curated guest experiences through the introduction of enhanced tennis programming and the upcoming addition of a brand-new padel court, broadening opportunities for recreation in a setting defined by natural beauty and privacy.
Rooted in the legacy of the Astor family, founders of the original The St. Regis New York, the St. Regis brand has long drawn inspiration from a heritage shaped by culture, hospitality and refined leisure. During the Gilded Age, tennis emerged as a defining symbol of elegance within the Astor social sphere, reflecting a lifestyle that valued both sporting excellence and sophisticated recreation. This heritage continues to inform the St. Regis portfolio worldwide, where classic sporting pursuits remain integral to the brand’s enduring commitment to glamour, distinction and meaningful guest engagement.
Set against the striking island backdrop of turquoise waters and lush tropical landscapes, the enhanced LUX Tennis programme introduces expert-led coaching and exclusive residences with internationally renowned professionals. Guests of all ages and abilities will have the opportunity to train, play and interact with elite talent through bespoke clinics and personalised on-court sessions designed to inspire both beginners and experienced players. The programme has confirmed appearances by Angelique Kerber, former world No.1 and three-time Grand Slam champion, from 29th to 31st March 2026, and Feliciano López, former Spanish tennis champion who achieved a career-high singles ranking of world No.12, from 16th to 17th May 2026. These curated engagements provide guests with rare access to world-class athletes in an intimate island setting.
The expanded sporting programme has been thoughtfully designed to complement the resort’s broader lifestyle experiences. From light-hearted family matches and junior-friendly coaching to more focused technical sessions for seasoned players, the flexible schedule integrates seamlessly with beach relaxation, wellness treatments and culinary exploration. The forthcoming padel court further diversifies the resort’s recreational portfolio, catering to the growing global interest in the sport and enhancing opportunities for shared family activities.
The resort features 77 expansive beachfront and overwater villas, each with private pools, offering privacy and generous living space. Among its signature accommodations is the presidential John Jacob Astor Estate, recognised as the largest overwater three-bedroom villa in the Maldives, providing an exceptional level of exclusivity and comfort. Guests also benefit from access to the award-winning Iridium Spa, six distinct dining venues presenting international and locally inspired cuisine, and a private yacht available for charter, enabling bespoke island-hopping and ocean adventures.
Through this partnership with LUX Tennis, The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort continues to enhance its position as a destination where refined leisure, sporting excellence and personalised service converge, delivering experiences that resonate with global travellers seeking both relaxation and dynamic engagement in one of the world’s most sought-after island destinations.
