Traveling to the Maldives with Bangkok Airways

• Free baggage allowance of 20 kilograms on all routes.
• Free seat selection service.
• Free food and beverage service on board.

Bangkok Airways Blue Ribbon Lounge

Most of us probably already know that anyone who books a flight with Bangkok Airways will have access to the Bangkok Airways Lounge. However, if you book a Business Class ticket, you will have access to an even more luxurious lounge, the "Blue Ribbon Lounge".

The most noticeable difference is that there is a wider variety of food and beverages available, including more premium options. Take a look at the pictures below for a closer look.

Economy Class cabin ambiance

After a four-hour flight, we arrived at Velana International Airport in Male. Upon clearing immigration, we waited for our luggage and met a resort staff member holding a sign with our names at the exit gate. They escorted us to check in for the Sea Plane that the resort had booked for us. If you haven't booked in advance, you can do so here as well.

After checking in with the Seaplane, the staff will take you to the limousine prepared by the resort to pick you up and take you to The Great Room, a private lounge of The St. Regis, to wait for your Seaplane.

The resort's private lounge serves as a check-in point while waiting for the seaplane. This allows guests to proceed directly to their rooms upon arrival, eliminating the need for additional check-in procedures. This thoughtful gesture is particularly appreciated after a long journey, as it allows for immediate relaxation and enjoyment of the resort's amenities. The attention to detail in service, even before arrival, is a testament to the resort's commitment to providing an exceptional experience, befitting its status as an SPG Category 7 hotel.

Snacks and drinks are available for purchase, allowing you to relax and enjoy the stunning views of the crystal-clear ocean. For those who wish to take a dip, shower facilities are provided. Additionally, high-speed Wi-Fi is available for those who want to stay connected and share their experiences online.

As we approach the boarding time for the seaplane, the staff will escort us to another room to watch a safety video that lasts approximately 5-10 minutes. Following the video, we will board the seaplane for our flight.

The seaplane offers a confined space, but the views are truly breathtaking. If this is your first time in the Maldives, we highly recommend taking a seaplane ride. You'll be captivated by the stunning aerial views of hundreds of small islands scattered across the turquoise waters. The experience is truly unforgettable.

The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort Review

A 3-day, 2-night stay in a pool villa in the middle of the Maldivian sea, a 7th heaven experience in a luxurious 6-star resort with 24-hour private butler service, making you feel like a princess. This is the signature service of this hotel brand... The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort.

After a 45-minute seaplane journey from Velana International Airport, we finally arrived at The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort.

The first impression is always important, and this is the first image we saw of the resort from the seaplane. The first feeling was that it was very beautiful and exciting. We finally made it to our dream resort.

A coconut palm tree stands tall in the center of the island, surrounded by fine, white sand. The turquoise waters of the ocean gradually deepen to a rich blue, revealing a vibrant coral reef teeming with life. This is the true charm of the Maldives.

After disembarking from the seaplane, our butler will greet us and escort us to a lounge where we can relax and enjoy refreshing coconut water to quench our thirst after the journey. We will then proceed to our rooms.

According to reviews, many resorts in the Maldives lack a seaplane landing dock. Guests arriving by seaplane must land in the middle of the ocean and take a boat to the resort. However, The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort has a private seaplane dock, making seaplane travel convenient. Guests can land directly at the resort without transferring to a boat. This feature significantly enhances convenience and comfort.

Besides having a personal butler to pick us up and drop us off, we also enjoyed cycling around the island, taking in the scenery as we went. This is a private island owned by the resort, so it's safe and you won't get lost.

Many people ask what you do when you come to the Maldives with friends. Well, with such beautiful scenery, why not come with a close friend?

Hanging out with friends is the best! We can eat, drink, relax, and have fun without any worries. It's even better if we all enjoy taking photos, as we can capture all the amazing moments together.

Overwater Villa with Pool

The 182-square-meter Overwater Villa with Pool boasts a comprehensive range of facilities, including a plush St. Regis Signature King-Size bed.

The room also features a wine cooler, a cocktail mixing counter, a 55-inch TV with Apple TV, and a room service system that can be controlled via iPad. These high-tech amenities, along with the ability to control the lights, curtains, and TV, make this one of the most modern and luxurious hotels in the Maldives.

The bathroom has a door that leads directly from the bedroom, and another door that opens onto the pool, allowing for direct access to the sea.

The amenities here are incredibly comprehensive, allowing you to travel light. They provide everything from soap, shampoo, and sunscreen to razors, tweezers, nail clippers, hairdryers, and more.

The bathroom and shower are separate, but we really like the bathtub. Just look at the view! You can soak in the hot water and enjoy the view. It's so relaxing.

The villa's exterior boasts a swimming pool, sun loungers, steps leading down to the sea, and a hammock that gives the illusion of floating on water. This creates a truly relaxing atmosphere.

This is our favorite spot. We sit, lie down, and walk around here. With this view, we never get bored.

Upon arrival, guests are greeted with a refreshing welcome drink. In addition to the immediate offering of coconut water upon disembarking from the seaplane, a chilled bottle of Prosecco awaits in each room, eliciting smiles of delight.

Our most relaxing moments together.

Sipping wine, soaking in the water, and admiring the beautiful scenery… It's exactly like I've always dreamed.

It's like having a huge crystal-clear blue swimming pool right in front of your house, isn't it? Where else can you find such an atmosphere?

The Overwater Villa at night is also beautiful in its own way, offering an atmosphere that is just as captivating as during the day.

Iradium Spa

This is the resort's Iridium Spa. Let me tell you, if you're staying here, you absolutely cannot miss it. Don't forget to indulge in this overwater spa experience.

This spa offers a variety of treatments and massages, but we opted for a hydrotherapy spa bath. This cost USD60 per person for one hour.

The spa pool's water massage system provides an indescribable sense of relaxation and comfort. You must try it at least once.

As we were soaking in the water, a seaplane landed right in front of us. We were both very excited.

This spa features a unique design element: a circular glass floor that allows guests to observe fish swimming in the crystal-clear water below. This innovative feature adds a touch of elegance and tranquility to the spa experience.

We have booked and occupied the entire spa pool for ourselves. It's just the two of us, isn't it great?

Iridium Spa: A Unique Maldivian Experience

The Iridium Spa offers a truly unique experience, with its stunning overwater location providing breathtaking views of the Maldivian lagoon. This exclusive spa is a haven of tranquility, where guests can indulge in a variety of treatments designed to rejuvenate and revitalize.

Breakfast Buffet Review

Let's relax by the pool and enjoy a refreshing drink.

While all villas boast private pools, The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort also features a stunning communal pool with breathtaking views. Guests are spoilt for choice, with the option to swim in their private villa pool, the ocean, or the central pool.

The Alba restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating options, allowing guests to choose their preferred dining environment.

We enjoyed breakfast by the pool with this stunning view. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the weather was perfect. We wish we could rewind time and relive this moment.

This is a sample breakfast menu from The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort.

Before arriving, we honestly thought we wouldn't be able to eat the local cuisine. However, it turned out to be delicious. Additionally, as this is a worldwide hotel brand, they offer a wide variety of international menus.

The breakfast menu will include sushi, sashimi, lobster and Alaskan crab omelets, foie gras, and even all-you-can-eat ribeye steak.

Another beautiful corner of the resort is the Whale Bar. In the evening, it is one of the best spots to watch the sunset. It's perfect for sipping cocktails and enjoying the stunning views. Unfortunately, during our visit, it rained in the evening and there were many clouds, so we missed the sunset here.

The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort also offers stunning beachfront villas as an alternative to the overwater accommodations. These villas boast equally impressive design and provide a unique experience for those seeking a different perspective.

Every villa at The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort boasts a private pool, allowing guests to unwind and relax in the water all day long, whether they choose a beachfront or overwater villa.

The Garden Villas With Pool, measuring 150 sqm, may be slightly smaller than the Overwater Villa, but it offers the same extensive amenities and a layout that will not disappoint.

The Garden Villa With Pool's bathroom has both indoor and outdoor areas, which are so spacious that I would love to invite four or five friends to stay here with me (but the hotel probably wouldn't allow it, haha ^^").

We are captivated by the design of this villa. It seamlessly blends with the surrounding coconut trees, pristine white sand beach, and crystal-clear ocean, creating an idyllic ambiance.

Another advantage of a beachfront villa is that you can walk directly from your room to the beach in just a few steps. Sitting on the beach and watching the sunrise is just as beautiful as the view from an overwater villa.

Swimming with Manta Rays in the Maldives

The Maldives, with its crystal-clear turquoise waters and abundant marine life, offers an unparalleled experience. Swimming with a school of stingrays just off the resort's beach is a rare and unforgettable encounter. We were fortunate enough to witness this spectacle right in front of our villa, capturing the moment in a photograph.

For those who are worried about being attacked by stingrays, based on my personal experience, stingrays tend to swim away from humans very quickly. They do not approach humans, and if you try to swim towards them, they will swim away even faster and farther. I was unable to take any pictures of them directly. All the pictures of stingrays I posted were captured from a high-angle video.

"The Maldives is what it is."

Its beauty surpasses all description.

For us, there is truly no place that can replace it.

We are determined to return to the Maldives again soon!
