Forbes Travel Guide, the only global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants and spas, today announced its annual Awards, presenting The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort with an elite Five-Star designation for the fifth year in a row. 

Located in one of the destination’s most exclusive atolls overlooking a private coral reef, The St. Regis Maldives represents the first-ever St. Regis resort on a private natural island offering a rare encounter with preciously guarded marine life in an eco-conscious setting. Revered as the Maldives’ finest address, the property presents a rarefied expression of luxury – from its distinctive architecture and accommodations to bespoke experiences – complemented by intuitive personalized service, signature to the St. Regis brand. 

“It is an honor to uphold the prestigious Forbes Five-Star award for a fifth consecutive year,” said Vincent Pauchon, general manager of The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort. “This celebrated rating not only honors the consistent delivery of unparalleled service by our passionate Hosts, but also recognizes our ability to continue exceeding the expectations of our highly discerning guests year after year.”

This recognition is a direct acknowledgment to its world-class team of devoted associates, who continue to go above and beyond to ensure their guests enjoy unforgettable moments only one can experience at the five-star property.
