Against the backdrop of turquoise waters and lush island serenity, guests will soon be invited to experience this transformative practice as part of a thoughtfully curated wellness journey.
With a growing global demand for integrative fitness experiences, Pilates Reformer has become a favourite for those seeking mindful movement and functional strength. Utilising a specially designed apparatus, the method elevates traditional Pilates through resistance-based training that enhances flexibility, balance, and core stability, while remaining gentle on the joints. At St. Regis Maldives, certified instructors will guide guests through personalised sessions tailored to a variety of goals, from rehabilitation and toning to posture improvement and stress relief.
The addition of Pilates Reformer complements the resort’s deep-rooted commitment to wellness, extending far beyond conventional spa treatments. Central to this philosophy is the overwater Iridium Spa—a serene sanctuary that offers more than indulgence. Guests can engage in Ayurvedic consultations, guided meditation, and holistic health screenings conducted by in-house wellness doctors. These screenings integrate Heart Rate Variability (HRV) technology with the ancient Ayurvedic technique of Nadi Pareeksha, a traditional pulse diagnosis, to identify imbalances and customise each guest’s path to optimal well-being.
Whether seeking deep relaxation, detoxification, or enhanced physical performance, the resort’s integrative approach ensures that every element of a guest’s stay contributes to overall wellness. Daily yoga, breathwork sessions, oceanfront meditation, and nutrition guidance are seamlessly woven into the island’s natural rhythm to create a truly transformative retreat.
Private Pilates Reformer classes will be offered to suit all experience levels, providing an inspiring way for guests to reconnect with both body and mind. With its iconic overwater villas, pristine beaches, and impeccable service, St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort continues to redefine luxury through the lens of well-being.

Noku Maldives celebrates World Oceans Day with commitment to marine life

In celebration of World Oceans Day, Noku Maldives, part of the Vignette Collection, announced its partnership with the Atoll Marine Conservation Centre, a leading marine conservation organisation in the Maldives dedicated to sea turtle rescue, coral restoration, and community education.
Established in 2012, the Atoll Marine Conservation Centre has spearheaded efforts in rescuing and rehabilitating injured sea turtles, particularly Olive Ridley turtles affected by ghost nets drifting into Maldivian waters. The organisation’s work also includes coral restoration, community outreach, and the protection of the fragile ecosystems surrounding the island of Naifaru.
To mark World Oceans Day, Noku Maldives will host a series of conservation-focused activities in collaboration with the Atoll Marine Conservation Centre. These activities will include interactive educational sessions for guests on sea turtle biology, threats, and rescue procedures. In addition, the resort’s staff will participate in a practical rescue and response simulation, enhancing the resort’s capacity to support marine wildlife in distress.
The lagoon at Noku Maldives is home to a resident population of sea turtles, whose frequent presence has become a cherished feature of the guest experience. This partnership underscores the resort’s ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship and the preservation of the Maldives’ rich marine biodiversity.
The collaboration was highlighted by Hussain Shahid, General Manager at Noku Maldives, who remarked, “Collaborating with Atoll Marine Conservation Centre allows us to deepen our understanding and care for the marine life that surrounds us. World Oceans Day presents an opportunity not just to celebrate the beauty of the ocean, but to act meaningfully in its protection.”
This initiative forms part of Noku Maldives’ broader sustainability efforts, embracing the ethos of conscious luxury and responsible hospitality.
